PeopleWeek ’s payroll functionality
PeopleWeek stores all personal, professional and remuneration data required for payroll processing in any country. This data can then be exported to our clients’ payroll vendors for importing into their payroll engine for payroll processing. In turn, PeopleWeek can import payslips and other payroll-related documents into employees’ personal folders.
PeopleWeek can build a country-specific payroll user interface and data exports for any country. We have already done so for many countries so that our multi-country clients have an international solution.
Payroll Partners can be given segregated access to sections of PeopleWeek that are needed for payroll processing, including employees’ payroll profiles, reports and export files. Payroll Partners can use their access to make certain payroll-related configurations in PeopleWeek, for example, create new pay elements, set payroll cut-off and payment dates, and change rates of overtime compensation. Unlike clients, Payroll Partners can also enter retroactive payments and changes into PeopleWeek.
More than just payroll
Some Payroll Partners provide additional HR services, such as management of employee insurances, statutory leave (accident, sickness, maternity, paternity, parental, national services, etc), work permits, and reimbursement of expenses. PeopleWeek can also export this data so that it can be imported into your systems or managed manually.
The benefits for clients
PeopleWeek is not a payroll vendor or HR services company. We are software specialists with deep knowledge of payroll and HR internationally. This means that our software is designed to make payroll processing and HR administration as efficient as possible, secure, and significantly reduce the risk of human error (end-to-end between the employee, HR and the payroll vendor). For example:
- Our intuitive user interface (UI) enables employees to update their personal information as needed;
- The Pay Element UI enables HR to efficiently assign pay elements and benefits to employees;
- HR can run reports to quickly identify any payroll-critical information that is missing or invalid;
- The system sends automated reminders to users to ensure that they submit payroll relevant information on time;
- Payroll Partners, employees and HR can be given shared access to employee folders to ensure document sharing takes place within PeopleWeek; and
- Export files are automated and delivered in the format and at the frequency required.
The benefits for payroll partners
Our solution offers significant efficiency gains for you without the need to fundamentally change established workflows with your clients. Benefits include:
- Improved quality and timeliness of data submitted for payroll processing;
- Improved productivity as less time is spent chasing clients for data and correcting errors;
- The possibility to make country-specific configurations;
- Alignment of data in the HRIS (PeopleWeek) and the payroll engine;
- More efficient information sharing with employees and HR, including payroll-related documents;
- Offering your clients and prospective clients next-generation software to meet their HR, collaboration and payroll needs.
The Payroll Partnership Programme has a white label solution for small implementations. This unbranded solution enables our Payroll Partners to offer a core set of modules to clients that have less than 50 employees. The solution is branded in the name of the Payroll Partner and you take the lead in implementing the solution for the client.
Typically companies with more than 50 employees (and sometimes those with less than 50 employees) require the full PeopleWeek solution. The full solution offers a broader set of modules and PeopleWeek takes the lead on implementations (as they are, typically, more complex than for white label clients).
Both solutions offer the same high level of technical support, IT security, data hosting, and the PeopleWeek mobile app.
