For many organisations, payroll remains one of the most sensitive and complex functions to manage. Errors, delays, and compliance issues can quickly escalate into unwanted risks for the employees, organisations and the local labour governing bodies, damaging both employees experiences, eroding trusts and damaging the brand and reputation. This is why there are more companies moving away from manual processes as much as they can afford it and is operationally sensible, and as part of it, adopting an online payroll dashboard. This is a tool specifically designed to make payroll data transfer, approvals and communication more efficient and transparent. A payroll dashboard provides a cloud-based centralised platform to manage multi-country payroll related data submissions, approvals and communication. It plays a critical role in ensuring higher accuracy, timeliness and prevents oversight in salary approvals.
What are the key features of a payroll dashboard?
- Data Transfer and Approvals
- Clients submits data that impacts payroll such as bonuses, allowances or commissions and more, by uploading onto the platform.
- A notification that is pre-set, will alert the receiving party.
- The designated personnel of the receiving party reviews and inputs comments on the platform.
- Notifications and alerts will repeat during this period of pre-payroll processing.
- Once the data has been verified and approved, the data seamlessly flows into the processing engine for payroll calculation and statutory compliance processing.
- Audit Log and Communication Tracking
- Every action – whether an upload, change, or approval – is securely logged in the system. Historical payroll data and all actions in this communication process can be retrieved back dated, based on filtering parameters, offering clarity for existing and incoming payroll personnel and senior management.
- Payroll Calendar Integration
- In addition to logged actions in these payroll cycles, the platform also includes a tailored payroll calendar which triggers the payroll cycle, and kicks off the data transfer and approval workflows, as based on these milestones and timelines in the calendar.
- Automatic reminders are also available to keep all stakeholders up to date and on track, so as to reduce last-minute ‘rushed jobs’.
- Multi-Country Payroll Visibility
- For organisations that have long tail payroll populations across multiple locations in the regions, whether the team is seated in an offshore location, shared services centre, or decentralised in each location, the platform and online dashboard provides a single consistent user experience, interface and overview of each and every location’s activities.
