The future of payroll
As global organisations continue to navigate growing complexity around compliance, many firms must ensure their systems are always optimal. Errors with payroll could prove to be harmful to the workforce, from both a regulatory and morale perspective.
Speaking exclusively with Business Chief, Jeff Phipps, SVP and Northern Europe General Manager at ADP, discusses the critical nature of payroll and how AI can help streamline processes, saying: “As organisations navigate growing regulatory complexity, expanding data volumes and increasingly global workforces, payroll has become a critical source of operational insight and business resilience.
“Payroll errors can also have very real consequences for employees, creating stress and taking time to resolve, while exposing employers to compliance risks and potentially damaging employee engagement and their brand.
“AI-enabled solutions such as ADP Lyric HCM are helping organisations simplify this complexity by bringing payroll, HR and workforce management into a connected system.
“Through automation, intelligent workflows and real-time insights, businesses can identify and address potential issues earlier, reduce manual effort, and strengthen compliance with requirements.”
Jeff goes on to discuss the future of payroll systems and how companies leverage them strategically.
He adds: “The future of payroll is about more than processing pay accurately and on time. Beyond strengthening compliance, forward-looking organisations are using AI and automation to unlock broader business value.
“Payroll is becoming a strategic function that helps organisations anticipate issues, operate more effectively and plan for long-term growth with greater confidence.”
