How to Successfully Select Your Next Payroll
What do supermarkets workers in Ireland, health care workers in California and Canada and retail employees in England have in common?
Unfortunately, they all experienced errors in their payslips this year because their companies switched to a new payroll. And it wasn’t pretty: many employees were unable to pay their bills. And that leads to host of other issues, including missing mortgage payments or having to go to a food bank because there wasn’t any money in their bank accounts.
It shows that choosing a new payroll, and switching to that new system is a difficult undertaking, no matter the size of your company and the make up of your worker group. It’s not something you do often, and the payroll vendor always has the advantage: it’s their business and they do this every day.
My new book helps you do this!
In most cases, switching to a new payroll is a hard but rewarding project. But it’s also full of uncertainties, risks and you will run into unexpected situations, simply because you don’t do this often. Being successful starts with a solid preparation, knowing exactly what you want and being in control at all times.
I receive many requests to help companies with their payroll selection. So many, that I thought it would be helpful if I wrote everything I know and learned over the past 20+ years down in a book. The book aims to help you understand the full project, and explains how you can prepare for a successful migration project.
I’m happy to say that the book is (finally) done!
The book includes topics like:
- Mapping out your purchasing approach
- Defining your payroll specifications
- Buying a solution or services?
- Pricing details
- Selecting the right vendor
- Service levels
- Contracting
- And much, much more
The book is available at Amazon as ebook, paperback and hardcover. I hope you enjoy it! Let me know what you think by leaving a review.
