Probably the UK’s most prominent payroll expert, Kate Upcraft of Kateupcraft.com has decided to retire on 31st March 2022.

Kate spent 20 years plus at M&S latterly as Legislation Manager for the payroll function, where she supported a payroll of over 65,000 employees.  Since then Kat has gone on to forge a hugely successful career Managing, coaching, and mentoring others in the world of payroll.

Nick Day is joined on The Payroll Podcast by Marc-Oliver Fiedler, founder of Global Payroll Platform provider, PayZaar.

Can we Automate Payroll?

Marc is an experienced international payroll executive who brings to today’s show a strong background in setting up and scaling new payroll business models and new payroll technology-driven ventures within the B2B SaaS/Cloud space.

Before founding Payzaar, Marc held leadership roles at Hewlett-Packard, Oracle, and ADP.

While at ADP, Marc became intimately acquainted with the challenges payroll people face every day as well as the many limitations that existed within the solutions that were being provided by payroll providers at the time.

This experience led him Marc found Payzaar, an innovative global payroll management platform with a different model to the traditional large aggregators that dominate the market. Instead of providing payroll through a closed system of exclusive national providers, Payzaar is provider-agnostic, so companies can integrate with any provider they choose anywhere in the world – leading to clients enjoying greater flexibility, no lock-in effect, and significantly lower costs with shorter integration times.

When not focused on Payzaar, Marc is a keen tennis player, golfer, and bread baker! A hobby he picked up during the pandemic.

In this "Can we Automate Payroll?" episode with Marc-Oliver Fiedler on The Payroll Podcast, we also explore:

1. What does the word “payroll” mean to you?
2. How has payroll evolved?
3. How has the Covid pandemic changed the payroll landscape?
4. Why are so many payroll operations experiencing major transformations?
5. What is the market telling you at Payzaar, and what is your perspective?
6. Is it possible to automate payroll?
7. What are the consequences of organizations undervaluing their payroll function?
8. Where do you think payroll is going in the next 5 years?

Nick Day is joined on The Payroll Podcast by Caroline Drake, Chief People Officer at Award-winning payroll and HR solutions provider, Zellis!

For those not familiar with Zellis, here is a snapshot of the business in numbers

• They pay 5 million employees every month

• £28 bn+ pounds are paid out each year through their Managed Payroll Services

• And over 29% of the FTSE 100 are Zellis customers

These numbers also provide Zellis with access to big data. And, as part of the Zellis vision, which is to be a leader in pay, reward, analytics, and people experiences, they decided to develop a report, in cooperation with the Economist, that was focused on diversity data to determine what it is that is holding back progress in delivering effective, data-led DEI campaigns.

And if you are wondering why a company, largely focused on payroll, decided to commission research on DEI data collection – stay tuned because you are about to find out!

Let’s just say, the results are fascinating!

In this "Effective Payroll Data Gathering for DEI with Caroline Drake #71" episode with Caroline Drake on The Payroll Podcast, we also explore:

1. What does the word “payroll” mean to you?
2. What was the inspiration behind the “Time to Act: Seven principles for effective DEI data gathering” report and what did this involve?
3. The research report indicates that there is a Diversity Data deficit. What does it mean?
4. Why is trust in the employer seemingly so important in making employees comfortable in sharing data?
5. How can companies maintain sensitivity while categorising characteristics?
6. How willing were employees to provide data in aid of ED&I programmes?
7. How can companies make better use of the data they collect from their employees?
8. Why did a company largely focused on payroll, commission research on DEI data collection?
9. In terms of the findings, what were the Seven principles any company can apply to improve DEI data gathering going forward?
