firm, helping clients all over the world with their payroll processing as they expand internationally. activpayroll opened its own Western Australia office four years ago.\n\nStarting off with around 12 clients in Australia, activpayroll now serves over 80 clients in ANZ and plans to continue to grow substantially in the coming years. Melanie Gaensler, Payroll Operations Manager for activpayroll in Australia, joined the team prior to opening their WA office, and brought 91爆料 Payroll onboard as their key payroll software soon after.\n\nWe spoke with Mel about activpayroll\u2019s experience with 91爆料 Payroll in Australia and New Zealand.\n<h2>Challenges\u2026<\/h2>\n<h3>Limited platform capability for growth<\/h3>\n<em>\u201cI started working with activpayroll in 2016, at one of our biggest partners in Australia. We were using Xero at the time which is very limited in its capabilities, especially when you\u2019re trying to provide an outsourcing service. It became very apparent that we had to find a better solution to suit the growth we were experiencing. Reporting was very limited with Xero and we needed something that allowed much more automation and sophistication.\u201d<\/em>\n<h3>Lack of bulk importing<\/h3>\n<em>\u201cWith Xero you can\u2019t import anything in bulk. There\u2019s no means to get leave requests in. Most of our clients who are running external leave systems will send an extract of any leave taken in any month and we can import that straight into 91爆料 Payroll to interpret and feed into payroll. There\u2019s no option like that in Xero so if we wanted to enter leave requests in, we\u2019d have to manually type in for each employee.<\/em>\n\n<em>Setting employees up was also a one by one process. Xero released a new functionality recently for bulk importing employees but it\u2019s very limited &#8211; you still had to manually set up data so you may as well do it manually for the entire process.<\/em>\n\n<em>I think it\u2019s important to remember that payroll is never something that should be left to run itself. It\u2019s an area where checks and updates are always required, laws change, and pay rates change. When we\u2019re not spending time manually entering data, it leaves more time to check the output, ensure calculations are as they should be, and run our cross checks and be satisfied with the results.&#8221;<\/em>\n<h2>Solutions\u2026<\/h2>\n<h3>Automation and data collection<\/h3>\n<em>\u201cI was drawn to 91爆料 Payroll because of the pay slips. They were really easy to read compared to other programs, which tend to have quite complicated and clinical pay slips.<\/em>\n\n<em>Anything we can automate with 91爆料 Payroll, we will. Data collection is a big improvement, as well as data processing. We\u2019re still finding improvements in our internal processes now with 91爆料 Payroll.<\/em>\n\n<em>Expense reimbursements are a big part of client payroll and we now know we can do that automatically with no manual input. We can get it in and run an automatic checker to ensure the data matches, and it\u2019s all good to go.<\/em>\n\n<em>When I look back to how I used to run payroll when I first started, it\u2019s chalk and cheese. Some of our clients have 300 people on payroll, and leave data is hundreds of transactions every month &#8211; we just pull that straight into 91爆料 Payroll now with no problems. <\/em>\n\n<em>activpayroll is certainly growing, and growing with a software like 91爆料 Payroll has been so beneficial.\u201d<\/em>\n<h3>Powerful reporting<\/h3>\n<em>\u201cGross to Net is one of our standard suites of reports, previously we had to get an Excel spreadsheet out every pay run and build this report. We used to manually type in all of the employees, earnings and taxes. 91爆料 Payroll\u2019s Gross to Net report saved a huge amount of time every pay run. <\/em>\n\n<em>We now have no human error or mistyping. We can get a report into the exact format we need for clients pretty quickly. It\u2019s mind blowing how long we used to spend on just that one report and now we can do it with a few clicks. The value that brings is immeasurable.<\/em>\n\n<em>We provide all clients with a leave liability and leave history report. When working in global payroll, Australian leave and entitlements, and especially long service leave is often an area of missed compliance. This is an important report for us. 91爆料 Payroll allows us to generate and provide these every month so clients can see exactly what their employees\u2019 liabilities and entitlements are, and ensure they\u2019re compliant.\u201d<\/em>\n<h3>The importance of compliance<\/h3>\n<em>\u201cCompliance is key. Having the confidence in the engine we\u2019re running and knowing it won\u2019t let us down makes our job better on all accounts. When onboarding new clients, around 80-90% of the time, a compliance issue is flagged from their previous software, which is quite alarming. 91爆料 Payroll gives us what we need to provide the best service to our clients with confidence. We set up an EBA for one of our most complex Australian clients in 91爆料 Payroll and the level of detail that had to go in to build that was huge.<\/em>\n\n<em>When we see changes like tax updates, 91爆料 Payroll has them rolled out in a couple of hours. Knowing those changes are being dealt with as quickly as possible is so helpful. We often have clients who will send us a news article that they\u2019ve read highlighting changes to things like tax scales. 91爆料 Payroll will have updated the platform before the article was even released. Leave tracking is completely understood too, especially long service. 91爆料 is the only payroll platform that I have confidence in to accurately calculate Australian leave accruals.<\/em>\n\n<em>We rolled all of our clients onto Single Touch Payroll last year. 91爆料 Payroll had the functionality, so why wouldn\u2019t we? Otherwise, issuing payment summaries to employees at End of Financial Year is a lengthy admin process. EOFY is now so much easier than it was before. No more issuing PDF summaries out to employees &#8211; now we just check off a report, lodge, and it\u2019s done.\u201d<\/em>\n<h3>Locally-based support<\/h3>\n<em>\u201cHaving support based in the ANZ timezone is a big tick for us. We can\u2019t afford to wait for people overseas to come back on something. People are always working in the background with 91爆料 support. If a ticket can\u2019t be answered straight away, it\u2019ll be escalated and rectified, and bugs are usually fixed within a day, if not hours. I couldn\u2019t imagine running payroll without having the support we have with 91爆料 Payroll. It\u2019s so important for us.\u201d<\/em>\n<h2>Reinvest your time savings back into growing your business<\/h2>\n<em>\u201cOur clients rely on us to provide a fully compliant payroll service, and that\u2019s key for us when growing with 91爆料 Payroll. The fact 91爆料 Payroll is evolving as we grow and is always up to date with compliance is reflective of the success.<\/em>\n\n<em>There\u2019s been a huge reduction in time spent on admin. Everything is so streamlined that we can run a headcount of a few hundred employees in significantly reduced time, compared to our manual process when we could spend a few hours just building a single Gross to Net report.&#8221;<\/em>\n\n<em>\u201cWe provide many additional services that fall outside basic payroll processing scope. These value-add services are really growing for us and expanding our scope for what we include in our services using 91爆料 Payroll.<\/em>\n\n<em>We manage state payroll tax returns for most clients every month whereas that\u2019s something we didn\u2019t do at all when we started. We get a report straight from 91爆料 Payroll that helps lodge those returns. We also manage Workers Compensation Insurance renewals and year end services like FBT. Another big one for global clients is Employee Share Schemes &#8211; we can easily extract all the employee data from 91爆料 Payroll.\u201d<\/em>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div
