Check if you are spending too much time on payroll administration

 

Are you also tired of heavy payroll processes, lack of overview, and lots of manual key work?

In many cases, companies spend unnecessarily much time on payroll administration. All too often, however, it ends up being the company's core tasks, which get all the attention in the pursuit of more optimization in everyday life. Here, it is typically the pay conditions that are overlooked even though it is the payroll administration that is one of the company's most central functions.

If you look historically at the wage area, it has not developed very much technologically either. By and large, employees have simply gone from receiving a payslip in a window envelope - to receiving it electronically in “e-boks”.

Get rid of the idea "this is how we usually do". Give your payroll system a check - and be critical of the existing payroll processes!

Understanding the importance of digital conversion

Do your research

Before you go to the boss, it's important that you do your research properly. You need to research the many different payroll systems in the market and look overall at the business needs. Familiarize yourself with how your current payroll system and workflows work, and clarify where you have challenges.

There are a wide variety of things you can research. You can find out which systems the company uses on a daily basis and whether these can be automatically linked to the new payroll system. It may be if you e.g. uses time registration, shift scheduling or bookkeeping systems. In this way, you can integrate your payroll system with all your preferred systems, and thus save time on manual key work - by automatically transferring data.

Fortunately, changing the pay system does not require a major organizational change. But a new, modern and digital payroll system can have major implications for optimizing your payroll processes.

Prepare your pitch for the boss

The last step before you need to persuade your boss - is to prepare your pitch. Prepare well and have two alternative pay systems ready. Assess where the new salary system is strongest and where you can best achieve time savings and an overview. Describe the advantages of the new payroll system and the disadvantages of the old one - and use the advantages to sell the system to your boss.

It is important to be aware that it is often easiest to stay in pre-existing routines. But remember that resistance can easily be prevented or met if you put yourself in the boss's place and argue for the importance as well as the benefits of the new pay system. Focus on what a change in your payroll system will mean in everyday life and how it will optimize the entire company's payroll administration.

Emphasize how crucial it is that the paid work runs as smoothly and correctly as at all possible, and set out a number of specific factors. It can be financial aspects or time savings where you show that the payroll manager can use his time more sensibly.
