On episode 14 of #PlugAndPay, we touch upon a topic that we deem essential for the future of this industry: #payroll education📚

To discuss the current state of payroll #training and its evolution, and assess the resources at hand and the impact of data and technology in the industry (spoiler: it's a great one, and it's here to stay!) and how to prepare professionals to make use of these assets, we have invited an expert on the matter: Tim Kelsey, who has been contributing to the development of payroll professionals' skills for over a decade.

It's no secret that at Payzaar we like to talk payroll #processes --and it looks like we've met our match with Katinka Sleyffers😍

An experienced Global Payroll Consultant, currently working at Payrollminds, our guest for episode 13 of #PlugAndPay parts from a "process-driven mindset" that allows her to see developments and opportunities for the global #payroll departments she contributes to. 

We thoroughly enjoyed discussing
🔸 How to boost efficiency so that your processes work for you (instead of against you!).
🔸 What can be done to ensure smooth collaboration between different departments and stakeholders.
🔸 Payroll's position as a goalkeeper 🥅 and why it shouldn't always be so.
🔸 Why she sees Payroll as a self-standing department with a lot to say in the business.
🔸 How an issue in her payslip drove her to start investigating and, eventually, develop a great passion for this industry.

After more than a decade in the industry and thanks to his great passion for payroll, Jaco van der Merwe (AKA The Payroll Pundit) has developed a keen eye for spotting new ways to elevate the role of payroll within the business.

In this episode of #PlugAndPay we talk precisely about that: how payroll can generate value for the organization and graduate from its traditional role of a back-office, cost-containment function, finally receiving the recognition it deserves...

...but we also discussed things such as what he does when he is "all payrolled-out" or which are the biggest satisfactions of his job.

Long hours and short deadlines are payroll's bread-and-butter, but is too much being asked of #payroll professionals?

There seems to be an increasing number of payroll professionals suffering from burnout --is it due to an increased workload in the post-pandemic environment? Or is it a case of professionals becoming more aware of their mental health needs, and more willing to put their foot down and practice self-care?

Does the payroll industry need to start making changes to better protect its own? and if the answer is yes, what would need to change?

We couldn't think of a better topic to kick off the second season of #PlugAndPay (and our first-ever live stream!).

We'll be trying to answer these questions and many others in a conversation featuring three experts from different branches of the payroll world:
→ Annemarie Verwaaijen (Vice President of Global Payroll and Equity at Visa),
→ Melanie Pizzey (CEO at the Global Payroll Association (GPA)),
→ Callum Dudrenec (Senior Consultant at JGA Recruitment Group).

And, just like that, we've reached the end of #PlugAndPay's first season!

To close this first stage of our #payroll talk show until September, we have decided to switch gears... with the help of the great Max van der Klis-Busink, who this time plays the host role!🤓

After a whole season of watching him ask all the questions --it's time to put Marc-Oliver Fiedler in the spotlight so we can learn more about who he is, why he chose #globalpayroll as an industry, and what inspired him to become an entrepreneur... and to finally find out whether he listens or not to Celine Dion when he needs to focus!

How will our host do when it's his turn to provide the answers?

Our guest on this occasion is Ioana Sirbu, Senior Payroll Manager at Tenable.

Ioana defines herself as "the kind of professional that looks outside the box and likes to go further than her day-to-day responsibilities", an attitude that has led her to be involved with various #payrolltransformation projects throughout her career.

It was particularly interesting to find out which learnings she has taken from all those experiences, including:

🔸 Dealing with change when it becomes a full-time job... on top of your full-time job!
🔸 Spearheading a transformation project while "still flying the old payroll plane" ✈️
🔸 Picking the best vendors and solutions based on your needs -present and future.
🔸 Being the best possible payroll leader for your team so that they can be their best selves🦸

...and much more!

Episode 7 of #PlugAndPay is out and it's a special one. This time we had a chat with the one and only Gerard Hall, better known as ✨That Payroll Guy✨... face to face during our visit to Las Vegas for #PayCon 2022!

Gerard is one of the most recognizable voices in payroll, and over the years he has become a spokesperson for payroll people, spreading the message on the value of payroll and raising awareness and appreciation of the profession.

We really enjoyed hearing his perspectives on:
🔺 How he became a payroll evangelist.
🔺 How the perception of payroll is changing
🔺 The superpowers of payroll professionals & how to shine the spotlight on them 
🔺 What does the future of payroll look like?

...and much more, such as what he'd be doing now if he wasn't a payroll pro – can you guess?
