Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Payroll is a process with high visibility where the highest quality and accuracy are required for each and every employee payment.\u00a0 Payroll also has significant complexity with an ever-changing landscape of local laws and regulations that make standardization and consistency difficult.\u00a0 For companies who have outsourced payroll processing<\/a>, the history for many has been to work with multiple suppliers with expertise in specific countries or regions, rather than select a single vendor to process payroll for all locations globally.\u00a0 That concern appears to be less of an issue today for large global companies, with examples of companies who have successfully implemented global payroll outsourcing<\/a> with ADP.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Company Experience<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A recent Peeriosity PeercastTM<\/sup> featured a large global company with over $15B in annual revenue <\/a>discussing their experience with consolidating to a single payroll vendor as one component of a large-scale HR transformation project.\u00a0 Other components of the HR transformation included implementing Workday as an enabling platform, implementing an employee portal to provide access to tools and information, designing and implementing an HR Global Service Delivery model to streamline, standardize, and simplify processes, and finally an overall redesign of their pay and performance review processes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Before the transition payroll was performed using a decentralized approach with payroll processed locally; often on a country-by-country basis, with very little process standardization.\u00a0 The new process resides in one centralized location in India with a greater level of standardization, using ADP as the payroll processing vendor. \u00a0The transition took place with one or two counties going live at the global location per month, using a lift-and-shift approach with a month of work-shadowing prior to the actual move of the work to the global center.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

iPollingTM<\/sup> Results Review<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The results from a recent Peeriosity poll created using the iPollingTM<\/sup> technology provide a good background regarding Payroll geographic design at large companies across the world.\u00a0 The first question in the poll examined the Payroll geographic model being used at companies today.\u00a0 The results were evenly split with half using either a global or a multi-region model and the remaining half using a multi-country or a single country model.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The second poll question asked about the most significant challenges Peeriosity member companies face regarding moving to a global model.\u00a0 For 21% the question wasn\u2019t applicable, since they weren\u2019t a global company.\u00a0 23% of members cited difficulty in adhering to global standards<\/a> as the greatest challenge, and 22% selected differing legal and regulatory requirements for payroll across the globe as the most significant.\u00a0 The lack of global systems solutions to fit all of our needs was most significant for 17% of member companies.\u00a0 Here are the details:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
