Whether your role is executive, finance, HR or NED, the Pulse Payroll team can deliver confidence in how your people are paid.
Most payroll problems are caused by lack of payroll knowledge and a ‘set and neglect’ mentality regarding payroll platforms and processes.
Our proprietary methodology allows Pulse Payroll to identify payroll issues relating to payroll talent, processes and platforms, diagnose the causes and prescribe the most efficient remediation. By working with the Pulse Payroll team, you will optimise and de-risk your payroll function.
If you require a backpay or remediation calculation, we use a combination of our payroll expertise and cutting edge technology to efficiently process backpay and remediation outcomes.
The key to this is our highly skilled payroll consultants having the most current knowledge of all State and Federal payroll legislation as well as a precise understanding of operational payroll. Being ‘system agnostic’ we advise without fear or favour.
We take a clinical approach to the three kinds of problems we solve, Process and Compliance Reviews, Remediation/Backpay and Technology Procurement.
Obtain an understanding of how processes, team and technology currently work and what documentation supports them.
Review employees under different scenarios and work patterns to make calculations as to what the employees should have been paid based on hours and days worked. Identify any variances compared to actual payments, accruals or entitlements made for these employees.
Consider double handling of data or reporting and manual processes to identify areas for efficiency and service improvement. This includes identifying processes to stop, standardise or automate as well as testing governance and controls. Benchmarking to ensure appropriate team size, competencies and structure.
