The Payroll Podcast

This episode is from a live webinar recording of The HR and Payroll Foundation series.

In our third of five HR & Payroll Foundations webinars, we addressed crucial topics that HR & Payroll leaders should consider as their workforce face the cost-of-living crisis and may be struggling to make ends meet. 

How can a more flexible payment offering make a difference?

The reality is that the cost-of-living crisis is not likely to ease anytime soon. For millions of people, this means the value of their earnings is eroded; even if they receive a pay rise it’s likely to be well below their needs, meaning a cut in real earnings.

For employers, this poses several challenges, not least the potential damage that arises from having a stressed and underperforming workforce. But it also adds to the risk of staff moving on – something that is already being seen in the post-Covid ‘Great Resignation’ – with people more likely to seek a better-paid job.

According to a study by flexible payment provider Wagestream, nearly seven out of 10 employees (68%) are concerned about their finances and hiding this from employers, and as many as one-in-four (24%) worry about money every single day. One way in which HR can help is through strengthening their relationship with their payroll departments and more specifically through considering the use of flexible pay. This enables employees to access money they have already earned when they need it, rather than having to wait until a set pay-day. For those on lower incomes, this can make a real difference, potentially avoiding the use of credit cards or, worse, payday lenders.

In this time of uncertainty, our esteemed panel discussed all of these topics, including expert advice and real-life case studies in detail during a perceptive, 1-hour free webinar.

Watch now to discover:

• How organisations with a fresh look on payroll can make a positive impact on recruitment
• What changes flexible pay can make to your employees’ financial wellbeing
• Workplace management systems that can further help employees manage their money and increase savings during a cost-of-living crisis
• The key benefits of implementing flexible pay services
• How to create a winning business case for HR and payroll’s strategic investment plans

• Emily Trant, Head of Impact & Inclusion, Wagestream
• Ana Laiu, Head of Payroll, PPHE Hotel Group

Navigate the complexities of payroll management with confidence after tuning into the latest of the Payroll podcast with Karen Thomson and Simon Parsons. We tackle the new UK holiday pay regulations set to roll out, dissecting the upcoming challenges for employers and employees alike. From understanding 'week 53' to the potential pitfalls of misleading holiday pay rates by recruitment agencies, we provide you with the knowledge to ensure compliance, accuracy, and efficiency in your payroll practices.

Expect to leave this session with a sense of clarity on how to adapt to legislative changes and maintain your footing in the fast-paced world of payroll and HR.

We address the complexities of pay-rolling benefits mid-tax year, the importance of staying up-to-date with HMRC changes, and the criticality of adhering to national minimum wage laws. With the threat of security risks in open-source technology and the ongoing significance of GDPR in data protection, you'll discover the importance of cautious data handling.

As we look into the future of payroll, the potential of Robotic Process Automation and Artificial Intelligence and the impact on the industry. These technologies promise to elevate efficiency but come with a need for responsible implementation, especially in light of GDPR and data security.
