making payroll payments properly effectively firmly and on time throughout this webinar we’ll walk you through the global advantages and disadvantages of a payroll wallet versus a payroll bank account how business accurately forecast their payroll expenses to increase working capital and how streamlining Global payroll payments can turn them from a siled pane into a tactical asset so payroll can be difficult in adequate in one country however when you’re doing it internationally it’s next level and Beyond it ends up being complex for a variety of reasons most importantly regulations compliance data security and banking rules then there are the sheer numbers they add more intricacy the international Labor force is presently 3 and a half billion individuals by 2030 it’s approximated that in Africa alone they will contribute and further 1.1 billion people that number is presently 500 million just for for a scale then consider that there are some 230 million organizations and growing all doing their own thing around the world in the conventional payroll model there’s typically an overwhelming variety of different systems leading to time-consuming manual procedures and silos the number of Integrations could be non-existent in big amounts and or extremely really standard there’s no real consistency framework we’re living in an age of tech however payroll has actually been sluggish to get on board in fact as much as 25 of payroll is still done by hand frequently with pen and paper which simply blows my mind every time I I believe
about it to give you a concept of how far there still is to come according to Deloitte just 11 of companies state they have Workforce data in real time that’s another number that offers me sleep deprived nights and quite frankly the more an organization spends on worldwide payroll the less of a picture they see an absence of visibility likewise extends to payroll payments and inability to accurately track these payments can lead to compliance mishaps in the last mile of the deal nearly half of global businesses have revealed that they don’t have the level of standardization they need in their procedures or want and as a result eighty percent of mistakes are because of time reporting bad HCM information data entry errors inadequately communicated hires and terminations along with absence management and system setups and after that when you round all of it off and the data is delivered to the wrong place the average expense of a global data breach at this moment is 3.9 billion dollars as soon as payrolls are done we still need to move the money all over the world payroll and payments don’t run efficiently if they count on the required several processes systems and partners it is just not possible so Johnny from a payments point of view and in your experience what else requires to be factored into the challenges business face when they’re paying to employees or otherwise that’s a great question I constantly toss this back and state what is it what doesn’t need to be included right and what does
it need to be thought about there’s varying Bank details so the length of an eye band a swift an account number routing code per country there’s payment time frames there’s payment abilities so can you pay it from International or do you have to pay from an in-country account do you need to pay from the consumer’s own in-country account so there’s intricacy any place you look best eventually constructing a knowledge base is absolutely important but everywhere you look with payroll payment they are like incredibly payments no if but some babies about it you are all superheroes processing payments for payroll if you look at the kind of link between fintech and payroll it’s closer than ever I believe there’s now a bit more acknowledgment that payroll payments are definitely basic and innovation is allowing us to type of progress with that it also as well to contribute to that payroll and finance require to work closer together um with varying Savings account Particulars varying banking requirements and setup procedures is definitely necessary that payroll and financing teams work better together than ever um I’m constantly astonished when individuals say I have actually split payroll and payment um if you walk down the street and asked anyone what is payroll who doesn’t work in the payroll profession would they split the payroll payment from estimation I would say no so why do we as an industry accept that why our payroll and payments so typically split and cut up um eventually it’s payroll is an end-to-end process it’s the point of information collection all the way through to paying individuals anywhere they are however also paying statutory authorities and on statutory 3rd parties so with the
world we reside in and wellness being increasingly more crucial to contribute to type of the level of intricacy there’s more and more advantages being organ or being offered by organizations across the world so again you’re just looking to add a growing number of payments to this already intricate landscape so if you type of got any experience well I’m from your large experience here and I’m sure but have you got any experience in kind of genuine obstacles or genuine tough sort of pay uses to play to pay people I think yeah I mean over the last well yeah a couple of years I would absolutely state that the larger a service gets the more it tends to segregate the payroll and the payments functions um there are groups doing one part of the job there are groups feeding information into the next function as it were that’s actually handling the payment side of things but you know in in my opinion and my experience that does not always require to be the case you know long gone are the times where we need to produce extra handoffs while doing sos that we run in they simply make them more prompt they make them less efficient and they don’t make them what they require to be in in an era of tech and an age that you understand that we are working in today there is no reason that we are still making this as challenging as it requires to be agreed and rightly as you said payroll is the single greatest liability that any organization has from an expense viewpoint from an impact perspective on workers it is absolutely crucial that it’s done correctly and on time so what we imply by that is not a day before not a day after on pay day and payments need to be done right it has the biggest detrimental effect on individuals’s wellness and many other aspects if people aren’t paid uh I’ve always been impressed coming into this Market type of the last 5 to ten years is how little thanks the
payroll group get um so I’m not exactly sure anyone on this type of webinar has actually been informed thank you for processing my payroll correctly if you have it ‘d be terrific to hear your success story and whether that’s been from all employees or not um but eventually payroll is such a crucial cycle we all become aware of it when it fails everyone jumps up and down when it goes wrong but when it goes right it’s just a tick box exercise and I believe that’s how it’s seen from the external deem well um so yeah it’s likewise like why WI-Fi Global why all of this things is absolutely crucial that all of this stuff is done correctly so leveraging the very first International Payments very first payroll payment service is a great initial step um offering an end-to-end payroll service for your employees worldwide again I think is another big um procedure again aligning and ensuring you have standardization Worldwide processes all of those things are definitely essential to success success of companies and decreasing the number of tools platforms and checking account they require for their International payroll too could not agree with you more and on the the front in regards to of the thank yous for getting payroll done I’ve never had a hundred countless them within a payroll cycle don’t expect to you do get the odd five or 10 or whatever it might be with the with the the grievances where things haven’t gone quite where they’re indicated to be um I do not think any of us are actually doing that for for the thanks
anyhow we understand how how essential a function it is which’s why we do it that’s why we get on with it and this is why we’re talking today about making it as simple as possible for everyone that’s associated with those processes and likewise so picture sorry I’m simply I was just gon na state picture the quantity of thanks you got if you might cover the amount of individuals that we cover within this webinar I make sure we’re talking about hundreds of thousands potentially Millions think of getting that lots of thank you keeps in mind um I mean it ‘d be interesting to see how many Post-it notes you got however it would certainly be a fascinating job attempting to clean all those up for sure oh definitely I can’t think of the size of my my Outlook inbox if that held true um you ‘d require days of the week to attempt to look through them and in fact see what was going on and sort of shot to return to everybody so carrying on look why do business choose to primary different savings account there are Papaya Global Kenya organizations out there doing exactly this for particular countries and I’ve worked in a company or lots of organizations doing precisely that I can say it doesn’t constantly feel effective and it does produce more work I understand we’re not deliberately doing that we’re not developing extra work for any person where we don’t have to and anyone that’s handling that procedure I ‘d be interested to hear your thoughts Johnny why do you think that we’re doing that in in the in the quantity that we are I believe numerous reasons one is it’s the requirement I think people have actually got so used to we need a brand-new bank account we open an entity and appropriately so you need it for payroll purposes but there are a variety of markets where it’s not a requirement so I think it’s just been the requirement and the norm the people have actually adopted and continue to do over years and years gone past to add to that individuals have actually looked at things like trust accounts and lots of other methods um to to kind of do it so I believe there’s a range I believe this is a process that needs looking at it requires changing but ultimately people are extremely stuck to what they recognize
with best um modification is a tough thing we all do not like change um so I believe it’s just sort of moving far from the norm as we’ve said so yeah so it keeps a lot of track of things um I understand obviously the benefits of having maintaining several savings account however there’s a substantial amount of intricacy opts for setting up a bank account keeping it guaranteeing it can send International transfers ensuring it’s set up with the ideal user accesses for specific individuals so the complexity is huge however I believe the sincere answer is change um individuals haven’t had the ability to alter or haven’t had necessarily the understanding to really make that change into alternate Solutions other than opening a savings account I believe you have actually struck the nail on the head I believe it is knowledge you know and there is an aspect of resistance to alter however we’ve constantly done it that way is no genuine reason for not looking at the the advantages and the possibilities of carrying on and moving into you understand what might practically be figured out to be the next Century or so there is a lot to monitor and this method does present a number of challenges um so Johnny could you tell us about those difficulties yeah naturally so there’s a range right there is so
I recently made a change to our Business system by transitioning to OS. As a result, we can now handle our payroll and payment tasks on one platform. It seems like our CFO has actually gained another CFO, and with this improved capability, I have effectively secured payments for our 10,000 employees worldwide. Your commitment to mastering worldwide payroll and payments utilizing Papaya payroll OS is commendable. You are worthy of a corner workplace with a parking space that is better, considering your achievements. Papaya Global Kenya
