We are often asked when does a small business payroll become a corporate payroll. There are no hard and fast rules and Dataplan provide payroll solutions for both.
The difference between the two tends to be subjective but there are various factors that suggest you may be in need of a corporate solution.
Factors suggesting that you are in need of a corporate payroll solution could include
- employee numbers > 100
- workforce distribution over a number of site
- dedicated HR people in your business
- HR software implemented in your business
- the existence of an enterprise resource planning software in place
- complex communication channels in the workplace
- desire to automate and generate efficiency
- many stakeholders involved in the payroll function
- detailed requirements from the finance function
- desire to streamline and simplify process that have grown organically
Implementation of corporate payroll solutions will vary between every customer but our approach always follows the same process. Based on classic project management techniques our 5D's process is a specific payroll implementation methodology we have developed over time
