Payroll Process Transition
Overview
There can be a
serious conflict in certain cases wherein the company or institution is
considering to outsource their payrolls instead of the existing in house system.
Many of the employees may consider this move as an attempt to lay them off and
may resist the transition phase.
A critical model
that organizations must figure is that the move of finance procedure from the
customary to the progressed outsourced mixture must be as smooth as could
reasonably be expected. This will ensure that the employees will not feel a
drastic change and soon begin to feel comfortable with the new system. In
addition, they will gradually understand the huge benefits that come along with
it.
Incorporating the Payroll Transition Process
Before
initiating the transition, the company must be completely aware of the existing
practises in order to make a fair assessment of the changes that the new system
will bring. The pay-out dates which were important previously, must be kept
into account and utilized as far as possible, unless it is mandatory to
necessitate a change.
After all the
relevant information has been obtained, there might be a requirement of setting
up new parameters. This will involve infusing new calculations, including rules
and regulations in place of the obsolete methods which were adopted earlier. Of
course, many of the employees may feel a little dissatisfied about the changes,
but, it is up to the management of the company to make them comfortable.
Once this has
been achieved, the new data conversion systems can be introduced in a gradual
manner to ensure a comfort level for all the concerned parties. The payroll
processing may also require some changes of the dates, which were existing
previously. This may be followed by a quality check run or a test run to check
that all the different pieces have fallen into place and are operating
efficiently.
All the new
payroll data that will be received must be compared with the previous in house
data. In case there are any radical changes obtained with the new system, the
necessary adjustments must be allowed wherever required. The employees must be
trained accordingly. They must be made to be in a position wherein they can get
to the root of a problem. The training is important to certain key personnel
who are responsible for the payroll process.
Every new
process which is required to bring about a payroll transition must be verified
for its efficacy and relative importance. All the existing payroll dates if
kept unchanged must be adhered to at all times. This may demand a simultaneous
parallel run of the past and present systems to understand what is really
required and what is not.
It is only after
the transitional changes have been made and the employees are accustomed to the
new procedures that the final stages of the payroll transition should be
inculcated with immediate effect. It is done to avoid any discrepancies between
the old and the new procedures. It is important that the management along with
the incoming outsourced party bring about an awareness of the need for the
transition with its existing employees.
