savings account payroll virtual wallets versus payroll savings account payroll payroll uh sorry papaya payroll payments forecasting payroll costs using virtual payroll accounts streamlining papaya International payroll payments as a tactical property uh we’ll also discuss a wrap-up and that ought to leave his time at the extremely really end for a q a session so as the title of the webinar recommends payroll execs on moving to Virtual payroll accounts and here is why as dispersed to remote and Worldwide labor forces become a growing number of typical and handling them becomes more and more complex International organizations are seeking to find Solutions and new methods to enhance procedures specifically from a payroll and cross-border payment perspective numerous companies preserve separate savings account just for payroll while some have several accounts in different nations does it make good sense for companies to maintain separate savings account sometimes in different countries it does but just for payroll exists a better way what function do virtual accounts and digital wallets also called virtual wallets play in helping international business improve the episode complex procedures of
making payroll payments properly efficiently securely and on time during this webinar we’ll walk you through the global pros and cons of a payroll wallet versus a payroll savings account how companies precisely forecast their payroll costs to increase working capital and how enhancing Global payroll payments can turn them from a siled pane into a tactical asset so payroll can be tough in adequate in one nation but when you’re doing it globally it’s next level and Beyond it becomes complicated for a variety of factors most importantly policies compliance information security and banking guidelines then there are the large numbers they include further complexity the global Labor force is currently 3 and a half billion people by 2030 it’s approximated that in Africa alone they will contribute and further 1.1 billion individuals that number is presently 500 million just for for a scale then factor in that there are some 230 million companies and growing all doing their own thing around the globe in the conventional payroll model there’s frequently an overwhelming variety of various systems causing lengthy manual procedures and silos the number of Combinations could be non-existent in large amounts and or very very fundamental there’s no genuine consistency structure we’re living in an era of tech however payroll has actually been slow to get on board in fact as much as 25 of payroll is still done by hand often with pen and paper which simply blows my mind whenever I I believe
about it to provide you a concept of how far there still is to come according to Deloitte just 11 of businesses state they have Labor force data in real time that’s another number that gives me sleep deprived nights and quite honestly the more a business invests in global payroll the less of an image they see an absence of visibility likewise reaches payroll payments and inability to accurately track these payments can result in compliance incidents in the last mile of the transaction nearly half of international companies have expressed that they don’t have the level of standardization they require in their procedures or desire and as a result eighty percent of errors are because of time reporting bad HCM data information entry errors poorly communicated hires and terminations in addition to lack management and system configurations and after that when you round everything off and the information is shipped to the wrong place the average expense of a global information breach at this moment is 3.9 billion dollars when payrolls are done we still need to move the money worldwide payroll and payments don’t run smoothly if they count on the required multiple procedures systems and partners it is simply not possible so Johnny from a payments perspective and in your experience what else requires to be factored into the obstacles organization face when they’re paying to workers or otherwise that’s an excellent concern I always toss this back and state what is it what does not need to be consisted of right and what does
it need to be thought about there’s differing Bank information so the length of an eye band a swift an account number routing code per country there’s payment amount of time there’s payment capabilities so can you pay it from International or do you need to pay from an in-country account do you have to pay from the customer’s own in-country account so there’s complexity any place you look best eventually constructing a knowledge base is absolutely critical however everywhere you look with payroll payment they resemble super payments no if however some babies about it you are all superheroes processing payments for payroll if you look at the type of link between fintech and payroll it’s closer than ever I think there’s now a bit more recognition that payroll payments are absolutely essential and innovation is allowing us to kind of move on with that it also too to add to that payroll and finance need to work closer together um with differing Bank Account Particulars varying banking requirements and setup procedures is absolutely crucial that payroll and financing groups work better together than ever um I’m constantly astonished when people say I’ve split payroll and payment um if you walk down the street and asked anybody what is payroll who doesn’t work in the payroll profession would they divide the payroll payment from calculation I would say no so why do we as a market accept that why our payroll and payments so often split and cut up um ultimately it’s payroll is an end-to-end process it’s the point of information collection all the way through to paying people any place they are however likewise paying statutory authorities and on statutory 3rd parties so with the
world we reside in and well-being being a growing number of crucial to add to type of the level of intricacy there’s increasingly more benefits being organ or being offered by companies throughout the world so once again you’re just aiming to include more and more payments to this already intricate landscape so if you kind of got any experience well I’m from your large experience here and I make certain but have you got any experience in kind of genuine challenges or real difficult sort of pay uses to play to pay individuals I think yeah I indicate over the last well yeah a number of years I would certainly say that the larger a business gets the more it tends to segregate the payroll and the payments works um there are groups doing one part of the job there are groups feeding details into the next function as it were that’s in fact handling the payment side of things however you understand in in my viewpoint and my experience that doesn’t always require to be the case you know long gone are the times where we need to create extra handoffs while doing sos that we operate in they simply make them more timely they make them less effective and they don’t make them what they require to be in in an era of tech and an era that you understand that we are working in today there is no reason why we are still making this as tough as it requires to be concurred and rightly as you said payroll is the single biggest liability that any business has from an expense viewpoint from an impact viewpoint on employees it is absolutely critical that it’s done properly and on time so what we mean by that is not a day before not a day after on pay day and payments need to be done right it has the greatest detrimental effect on people’s wellness and numerous other aspects if people aren’t paid uh I’ve constantly been impressed entering this Market type of the last 5 to ten years is how little thanks the
payroll team get um so I’m not exactly sure anybody on this sort of webinar has been informed thank you for processing my payroll properly if you have it ‘d be fantastic to hear your success story and whether that’s been from all employees or not um but eventually payroll is such a crucial cycle all of us hear about it when it goes wrong everybody jumps up and down when it goes wrong however when it goes right it’s just a tick box exercise and I think that’s how it’s seen from the external consider as well um so yeah it’s likewise like why WI-Fi Global why all of this stuff is definitely essential that all of this stuff is done correctly so leveraging the first Global Payments very first payroll payment solution is a terrific initial step um providing an end-to-end payroll solution for your employees worldwide again I think is another big um procedure again lining up and guaranteeing you have standardization Global processes all of those things are absolutely essential to success success of organizations and minimizing the variety of tools platforms and savings account they need for their Worldwide payroll too couldn’t agree with you more and on the the front in terms of of the thank yous for getting payroll done I have actually never had a hundred thousand of them within a payroll cycle don’t expect to you do get the odd 5 or 10 or whatever it might be with the with the the grievances where things have not gone quite where they’re suggested to be um I don’t think any of us are actually doing that for for the thanks
anyway we understand how how important a function it is and that’s why we do it that’s why we get on with it and this is why we’re talking today about making it as simple as possible for everybody that’s involved in those procedures and also so picture sorry I’m just I was simply gon na state envision the quantity of thanks you got if you might cover the quantity of people that we cover within this webinar I make sure we’re speaking about hundreds of thousands potentially Millions think of getting that numerous thank you notes um I indicate it ‘d be interesting to see how many Post-it notes you got but it would certainly be an intriguing job trying to clean all those up for sure oh definitely I can’t think of the size of my my Outlook inbox if that held true um you ‘d require days of the week to attempt to check out them and really see what was going on and sort of shot to return to everyone so carrying on look why do business choose to main separate bank accounts there are App Papaya Global services out there doing precisely this for specific nations and I have actually worked in a company or numerous organizations doing precisely that I can say it doesn’t always feel effective and it does develop more work I know we’re not purposely doing that we’re not developing additional work for anyone where we do not have to and any person that’s dealing with that process I ‘d be interested to hear your ideas Johnny why do you think that we’re doing that in in the in the amount that we are I think lots of reasons one is it’s the requirement I think individuals have actually got so used to we need a brand-new bank account we open an entity and rightly so you need it for payroll functions however there are a number of markets where it’s not a requirement so I believe it’s just been the requirement and the standard the people have embraced and continue to do over years and years gone past to contribute to that individuals have looked at things like trust accounts and numerous other ways um to to kind of do it so I think there’s a variety I believe this is a procedure that needs looking at it needs changing but eventually individuals are very stuck to what they’re familiar
with right um change is a tough thing all of us don’t like change um so I believe it’s simply sort of moving away from the norm as we have actually said so yeah so it keeps a great deal of track of stuff um I comprehend certainly the advantages of having preserving multiple bank accounts however there’s a huge amount of complexity goes with setting up a checking account keeping it guaranteeing it can send out International transfers ensuring it’s set up with the ideal user accesses for individual people so the intricacy is huge but I think the honest answer is change um people haven’t had the ability to alter or have not had necessarily the understanding to truly make that change into alternate Solutions besides opening a savings account I think you’ve hit the nail on the head I think it is understanding you understand and there is a component of resistance to change but we have actually constantly done it that way is no genuine reason for not looking at the the advantages and the possibilities of carrying on and moving into you understand what could practically be figured out to be the next Century or so there is a lot to keep an eye on and this approach does posture numerous difficulties um so Johnny could you inform us about those obstacles yeah of course so there’s a variety right there is so
