Streamlining Your Payroll Process

As an employer, you need to establish certain key policies before Payroll can be run.

Define Payroll Policy

It is the first step where you need to set the policies in place to process the payroll.

The policies include:

  • Attendance policy

  • Pay policy

  • Leave and benefits policy

  • Monthly Pay Cycle

To ensure smooth operations of Payroll, an organization needs to set a payroll policy and procedures to ensure all payment are made on time.

Data Collection

In the next step you need to gather inputs from various departments to ensure accurate calculation of payroll. This can be a simple or a overwhelming process depending on your employee strength. You will need to adopt a Payroll Service to ensure that this is handled with ease

Input validation

After all, information is gathered, then you need to verify its validity to ensure no errors creep into the payroll process

Basic Checks Include:

  • Ensure that the list contains all the active employees and no records of inactive employees

  • Data adheres to the company policy

  • Validate if all data has been collected

  • Data is in the correct format
