Payroll managers have so much to stay on top of. From the constant pressure of communicating with different departments to ensuring all data is up to date and accurate. The pressure of dealing with deadlines and the potential consequences of mistakes can create an overwhelmingly stressful work environment.
Payroll managers need to be able to use their time effectively to make sure that tasks are completed not only on time, but accurately. We get it—there are only so many hours in a day.
But it’s not a lost cause. In a stressful job with so much to stay on top of, there are ways to make your life easier.
Manual data entry is stressful and time consuming
The added stress of manual data input is not only time-consuming, but unreliable. Manual data entry can cause needless human error to enter your organization’s systems. Even a small mistake in entering data can cause discrepancies and impact employee pay.
Manual entry consumes so much of your valuable time. It becomes a tedious process that takes away from time that could be better spent in other areas of productivity.
The sensitive information payroll managers deal with needs to be handled securely and confidentially, and is often in different systems from dozens of spreadsheets to good-old-fashioned paper.
On top of that, administrators are often forced to chase down data from employees. All of these stresses lead to increased pressure and less time to complete payroll, which is detrimental to the payroll process.
How can you make the process easier?
- Hire sufficient, experienced staff to ensure you have the required expertise on your side.
- Ensure that all work is double-checked to your company’s operational standards.
- Identify the source of data inaccuracies to try to mitigate them at the source.
- Leverage appropriate software tools to simplify the process.
You’re not a supercomputer, and that’s okay. That’s where we come in.
You can easily solve issues with data discrepancies stemming from manual input of leaves, benefits, employee changes, expenses, compensation changes and more.
