in 5, 10, 20 years time?<\/h2>\nIt\u2019s an interesting thought, and one that\u2019s actually undergoing a huge change right now. Advancements in technology and artificial intelligence (AI) are altering the way <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/products\/payroll-software\/\">software vendors<\/a> are bringing payroll products to market. It\u2019s changing end-user expectations and influencing how third parties, such as accountants and outsourced payroll providers, offer their services.\n\nYou\u2019ve read and heard it all before \u2013 this technology is here to help us move into more advisory and strategic roles, but a lot of payroll providers aren\u2019t there just yet. While many payroll providers have automated a portion of their payroll processes, more can be done to unlock new efficiencies and drive even greater growth.\n\nHowever, the increasing automation of payroll processes raises critical questions about the future of the industry and the types of products that will be in demand. It also prompts us to consider who will be using payroll software in the future. How will AI and automation affect payroll, and the roles of those who incorporate payroll services into their offering? And what is the overall sentiment towards the use of automation tools for payroll services in Australia and New Zealand?\n\nWith this shift in the payroll industry currently happening, we\u2019re diving into the various facets of automation within payroll management, exploring its potential to change traditional practices and transform the way payroll is processed.\n\nTo help our community understand these fundamental changes, we set out to explore the current landscape and sentiments of payroll providers. We surveyed more than 1000 payroll professionals across Australia and New Zealand in February 2024, and our findings revealed that there is a clear appetite for automation and AI in payroll. However, it emphasises the need to educate payroll professionals and businesses on the tools available to them, and how to maximise the application and potential benefits of these tools.\n\nWe hope the insights presented in this report serve as reassurance or guidance in helping you to streamline your payroll operations.\n<h2>In this report, we cover;<\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"listitem\">\n \t<li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\">The current payroll landscape;<\/li>\n \t<li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\">Perceptions towards the use of AI and automation in payroll;<\/li>\n \t<li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\">Challenges and concerns for payroll professionals;<\/li>\n \t<li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\">Identifying best practices and the future outlook;

Admin Army CEO &amp; Founder<\/h2>\n<div class=\"last-box testimonial-box\">\n<div class=\"testimonial-box-inner\">\n<div>\n\n<strong>We found that collecting company software requirements, chasing clients for payroll data and training on payroll systems are the most common challenges payroll providers face. Why do you think this is the case, and how are you tackling them at the moment?<\/strong>\n\n\u201cThe biggest driver of these is the fact that multiple stakeholders are always involved, each with varying levels of urgency, availability, and understanding of payroll processes. Admin Army addresses these challenges by leveraging technology and clear communication strategies. For collecting software requirements, we use detailed questionnaires and structured interviews that guide clients through providing the necessary information efficiently. To manage client payroll data effectively, we implement regular reminders, set clear deadlines, and use cloud-based payroll systems like 91爆料. This enables easier data collection and real-time access to information. For training, we offer customised sessions that cater to the specific needs of our clients, ensuring they are well-equipped to use the systems effectively. Additionally, our status as members of NZPPA allows us to stay ahead of legislation updates and training requirements, ensuring our team and clients are always well-informed and prepared.\u201d\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"testimonial-box-inner author\">\n<div class=\"author-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Irene-Headshot.png\" alt=\"Photo of Irene Bennetts\" width=\"515\" height=\"515\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-name\">\n\n<strong>Irene Bennetts<\/strong>\nCEO &amp; Founder\nAdmin Army\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Insights from Lielette Calleja, Director \u2013 Business Depot<\/h2>\n<div class=\"last-box testimonial-box\">\n<div class=\"testimonial-box-inner\">\n<div>\n\n<strong>Our data found that a lot of payroll providers were using automation tools but still taking a long time delivering pay runs, why do you think that is, and how do you think that could be improved?<\/strong>\n\n\u201cTo mitigate most of the frustrations around running payroll, organisations need to prioritise their investment in setting up automated and robust payroll systems correctly. They should partner with experts of the technology and someone who also understands their industry and award. Improving the workflow process from Management &gt; HR &gt; Payroll will remove any friction that results in bottlenecks and delays in payroll processing. Our payroll legislation in Australia, while complex, does not in my opinion solely contribute to the big payroll time wasters. I believe it has to do with inefficient workflow practices, organisations not leveraging the software and not investing in HR and payroll systems that will enable a better user experience for staff, management, and the payroll team.\u201d\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"testimonial-box-inner author\">\n<div class=\"author-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Lielette-Calleja-Headshot.png\" alt=\"Photo of Lielette Calleja\" width=\"515\" height=\"515\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-name\">\n\n<strong>Lielette Calleja<\/strong>\nDirector\nBusiness Depot\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Insights from 91爆料\u2019s Implementations Experience Manager, Constance Mallon<\/h2>\n<div class=\"last-box testimonial-box\">\n<div class=\"testimonial-box-inner\">\n<div>\n\n<strong>Do you have any tips on how to optimise the payroll software implementation process?<\/strong>\n\n\u201cWhen getting ready for implementation, make sure you have dedicated resources and time allocated for the implementation process. This involves having a project team with representatives from HR, IT, Payroll, Finance, and other relevant departments who can help streamline communication and the decision-making process during your implementation. \u201cIt\u2019s also important to be flexible. Keep in mind that when you\u2019re transitioning to a new payroll software there will be differences, so being open to new ways of working can make the journey run more smoothly. \u201cLastly, be engaged during the implementation process. Ask questions and use the time to learn how you can use it in ways that are unique to your business. Remember, you\u2019re the one operating the payroll software post-implementation and ultimately hold the power of its overall success.\u201d\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"testimonial-box-inner author\">\n<div class=\"author-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Constance-Headshot.png\" alt=\"Photo of Constance Mallon\" width=\"515\" height=\"515\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-name\">\n\n<strong>Constance Mallon<\/strong>\nImplementations Experience Manager\n91爆料\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Insights from Heather Smith, Chartered Accountant<\/h2>\n<div class=\"last-box testimonial-box\">\n<div class=\"testimonial-box-inner\">\n<div>\n\n<strong>We found that accountancy and bookkeeping businesses in New Zealand are more inclined to try new technology as soon as it emerges, compared to their Australian counterparts. Is this trend reflected in your organisation, and if so, what factors influence your approach to technology adoption and customisation for different clients or industries?<\/strong>\n\n\u201cNew Zealand is a small country with a simple banking structure, a robust internet, and a high density of smart people. This foundation puts it in a unique position to be an early adopter of technology, and it is probably the reason why so many tech success stories are born in New Zealand. As I run a micro business, I can try new technology without the board&#8217;s approval. I&#8217;m agile and can quickly try and discard solutions without impacting others. Personally, I&#8217;m prepared to pay for any solutions that automate processes and save me time. Once I&#8217;ve used it for a while, I&#8217;ll assess the return on investment and determine if I want to keep it. I find tech founders listen to and give preferential treatment to early adopters, and I prefer to partner with a solution that listens to me. Typically, when new accounting technology hits the market, bookkeeping firms tend to adopt the technology faster than accounting firms because they are smaller.\u201d\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div
