This is what you can expect from your payroll system

Establishing a payroll system is not necessarily an easy exercise. There are a number of different payroll systems to choose from, and even more suppliers who deliver the various solutions. There is a lot to consider here, because what kind of solution do you really need? Do you have a simple and straightforward payroll process, which is the same every month, or does it vary from month to month? No matter what your payroll process looks like, there are some things we think you should expect from your payroll system.

Efficiency

Your new payroll system should enable you to do your job faster and better. The solution should therefore facilitate the reuse of data from other HR modules such as time, travel and personal data. By eliminating duplication of data, you will both streamline your work and reduce the chance of manual errors. This is what you should expect from a payroll system.

Automation

Your payroll system should automate as much as possible of the payroll process for you, including advanced employment agreements, calculations and post-calculations. When you choose a really good salary system, it allows you to move rules, routines and logic from the heads of your key employees and into the solution. In this way, you become less vulnerable in the event of absence, for example, and you know that the result will be correct - every time. We also believe it is a matter of course that your payroll solution automatically calculates holiday pay for you, and keeps track of absences that should give deductions in payroll .

Support guidelines

A salary system should support Norwegian payroll and authority reporting, and automatically takes care of statutory changes that arise in laws and regulations.

Better management

A good payroll system gives you better management and control in the form of good reports, based on real-time data. It should also give you access to automatic part calculation. By that we mean that changes that occur during a month (changes in pay, changes in working conditions or absences), which affect payroll , is automatically calculated for you. A good payroll system should also come with a solution for date management. This means that you should be able to enter changes in the future, without it having any effect payroll before the date has actually passed.

A fully integrated solution

We think you should expect that a salary system should be fully integrated with both time, travel and finances, and it should also form the basis for associated processes, such as calculating reimbursement from NAV, and reporting pensions to your pension provider. Don't you think so?

Extraordinary runs and post-payments

A good solution allows you to easily run extraordinary payroll runs and correction runs, if you need to. The process should of course be both automatic and correct, and you should expect it to come with very good (and automatic) solutions for post-payments.

Ease of use

When choosing a new payroll system, you should expect it to be user-friendly, with logical menus and intuitive navigation. A really good system allows you to detect and correct errors earlier payroll actually run, and makes it easy for your payroll staff to follow up on errors that occur.

Supports you throughout the payroll process - regardless of complexity

Your payroll system should support you throughout the payroll process, regardless of whether it is straightforward and fairly simple, or whether you have a more complex process with different tariffs, multiple payroll areas, or perhaps even border crossings . No matter what category you are in, you should expect the payroll engine to be both robust and flexible, and to simplify your payroll work for you.

Choose a supplier who can payroll and which delivers the best salary system

Once you have made up your mind about which payroll system you want, you should also think about who you want as a partner. We would recommend that you go for an experienced partner who knows both HR technology and HR processes. In addition, we believe it is an advantage to choose a partner with local resources.
