21 Mar 2024How Flexible Pay Will Enhance The Workforce in 202401:09:36

This episode is from a live webinar recording of The HR and Payroll Foundation series.

In our third of five HR & Payroll Foundations webinars, we addressed crucial topics that HR & Payroll leaders should consider as their workforce face the cost-of-living crisis and may be struggling to make ends meet. 

How can a more flexible payment offering make a difference?

The reality is that the cost-of-living crisis is not likely to ease anytime soon. For millions of people, this means the value of their earnings is eroded; even if they receive a pay rise it’s likely to be well below their needs, meaning a cut in real earnings.

For employers, this poses several challenges, not least the potential damage that arises from having a stressed and underperforming workforce. But it also adds to the risk of staff moving on – something that is already being seen in the post-Covid ‘Great Resignation’ – with people more likely to seek a better-paid job.

According to a study by flexible payment provider Wagestream, nearly seven out of 10 employees (68%) are concerned about their finances and hiding this from employers, and as many as one-in-four (24%) worry about money every single day. One way in which HR can help is through strengthening their relationship with their payroll departments and more specifically through considering the use of flexible pay. This enables employees to access money they have already earned when they need it, rather than having to wait until a set pay-day. For those on lower incomes, this can make a real difference, potentially avoiding the use of credit cards or, worse, payday lenders.

In this time of uncertainty, our esteemed panel discussed all of these topics, including expert advice and real-life case studies in detail during a perceptive, 1-hour free webinar.

Watch now to discover:

  • How organisations with a fresh look on payroll can make a positive impact on recruitment
  • What changes flexible pay can make to your employees’ financial wellbeing
  • Workplace management systems that can further help employees manage their money and increase savings during a cost-of-living crisis
  • The key benefits of implementing flexible pay services
  • How to create a winning business case for HR and payroll’s strategic investment plans


Our panellists:

  • Nick Day, Founder of JGA Payroll Recruitment – nick@jgarecruitment.com
  • Emily Trant, Head of Impact & Inclusion, Wagestream
  • Ana Laiu, Head of Payroll, PPHE Hotel Group

Hosted by Nick Day, CEO of JGA Recruitment and host of The Payroll Podcast, this special Halloween edition of Payroll Question Time, brought to you by SD Worx, delves into the major payroll challenges triggered by the UK’s 2024 budget.

From small business struggles to larger employer concerns, our panel unpacks what these changes mean for payroll operations and the heightened compliance risks they introduce.

30 Jan 2023The Payroll Podcast: Episode 100 Special with Nick Day! #10001:20:21

Wow, I cannot believe I am bringing you the 100th episode!

Today I will summarise some of the critical topics The Payroll Podcast has covered. These topics include payroll tax compliance; employee benefits; the use of technology; automation; innovation; global complexities; education; payroll's evolution from transactional operation to strategic function; payroll career pathways, and much more.

The Covid pandemic accelerated a change in perspective towards Payroll. Payroll professionals were rightly praised as they worked tirelessly to keep the UK paid after over 11.7 million employee jobs were put through the furlough scheme at the cost of £70 billion. World leaders, such as the Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, even publicly thanked the efforts of payroll practitioners "for playing your part in what has been an extraordinary effort." As a result, Payroll has been thrust into the limelight, and with it, we have seen an explosion of new payroll career pathways open within the industry.

Therefore, as we embark on the next 100 episodes, I will continue to endeavour to cover a wide range of topics, from digitisation and automation to global payroll transformation and emerging trends, and much more!

However, before we look forward, I also want to look back at some of the many insights and conversations that have helped shape the payroll industry into what it is today.

Here are 18 key takeaways I have discovered during the 99 episodes recorded to date:

  1. Automation of payroll processes is increasing, allowing payroll professionals to focus on more strategic tasks and improve efficiency. Meanwhile, remember that automation and technology will not replace the payroll professional, but tasks within the traditional payroll role will.
  2. Integrating AI and machine learning in payroll processes will become more prevalent, providing new opportunities for automation, data analysis, and process optimisation. Companies are continuing to invest in payroll technologies. HCM and Payroll tech is a multi-billion-pound industry. On-Demand Pay is a particular area companies invest in because these solutions help employers manage earned wage access requests. Will this mean the dissolution of our traditional payroll cycles? Quite possibly.
  3. The employee is now the centre of the payroll experience. The employee payroll experience is becoming more critical as companies strive to attract and retain top talent. Companies will increasingly focus on creating a positive payroll experience for employees to improve retention and attract top talent.
  4. Payroll professionals should stay informed about the latest trends and technologies in the industry to position themselves for success in the future.
  5. Continuing education and professional development are essential for payroll professionals to stay ahead of the curve. Skills are the currency of the future; employees need to take actions that enable them to prepare for the future of automation, analytics and AI.
  6. The increase in global workforces will result in more cross-border payments and expertise concerning country-related payroll legislation. The barrier to hiring talent in international locations has been lowered, so this trend will only increase. In addition, the ability to deliver global payroll services remotely will become increasingly important, requiring new technologies and strategies to ensure smooth operations.
  7. There are a variety of career pathways available in Payroll across Global Payroll, data analytics, and technology. In fact, we recently identified over 60 career pathways, and yet I suspect that number has already increased to almost 100.
  8. Cloud-based payroll systems will continue to gain popularity as they provide increased flexibility, scalability, and security for remote payroll operations.
  9. Smart Interactive Payslips will make the payment process more efficient and...

25 Jul 2023EWA - Opportunity or Threat for the Payroll Professional? with Ted Bechman #12100:51:02

Nick Day is joined on The Payroll Podcast by Ted Bechman, the Chief Finance Officer and Founder of Income Group!

Now, with everyone predicting that 2023 will be a year of evolution for the payroll industry, Nick invited Ted Bechman on to the 121st episode of The Payroll Podcast Show to find out more about a hot topic that exists right in the centre of this evolution and that’s to discuss Earned Wage Access (also known as EWA) or Pay-On-Demand services as its also known.

Nick wanted to determine what EWA means for payroll – is it an opportunity or a threat?

Income Group have recently developed IGsend, an Instant Payment service for busy payroll teams. IGsend is a solution that enables payroll teams and small business owners to make instant payroll payments in just a couple of clicks, enabling employees to be paid more frequently or in line with their working patterns.

There is a lot of misconception around current EWA solutions, with many payroll professionals still unaware of how far the needle has moved since the concept was first introduced. For example, the Income Group EWA IGsend solution comes at no additional cost to employees, meaning they can access wages earned in real-time for free.

So, with 80% of employees saying they would prefer to have their pay automatically streamed into their bank accounts as they earn it and with 91% of millennial workers stating that they think their employer should provide Earned Wage Access – Nick wanted to find out more today about the evolution of Earned Wage Access and who better to ask than the founder of Income Group – Ted Bechman!

In this “EWA - Opportunity or Threat for the Payroll Professional?” episode with Ted Bechman on The Payroll Podcast, we also explore:

  1. What does the word payroll mean to you?
  2. Why is the payroll professional community the best-kept corporate secret?
  3. Is humility always a strength?
  4. EWA is not new – why is it different this time?
  5. Are we now in the perfect storm of need, technology and management?
  6. There has been pushback from the Payroll community - are the concerns justified?
  7. EWA is just the beginning of the journey - what is the direction of travel?
  8. Is EWA a cost of employment?
  9. Should the employee bear the cost of EWA in part?
  10. Is the return on investing in EWA compelling?
  11. What do you think the future of payroll looks like?

03 Oct 2023Enabling HR & Payroll Systems to Drive Operational Efficiency (Payroll Foundations Part 2) #12700:49:17

Enabling Payroll & HR Systems to Drive Operational Efficiency #127

The second of five episodes, where we will address crucial topics that HR and payroll leaders can't ignore, as they seek to create the right people management ecosystem for their business.

Due to rapid growth or change accelerated by a revolution in ways of working post-pandemic, some businesses have been forced to streamline their operations and reduce multiple systems and tools into one. With no central governance, this caused havoc for payroll and HR.

Add in the complexities of an increasingly remote workforce and a looming threat for businesses that have inherited legacy tech from M&As, and operations could well be at their most fraught. So much so that some believe payroll should defect and become its own function away from HR and finance.

In this climate of operational uncertainty, our esteemed panel is discussing all of these industry trends, expert predictions and real-life case studies in detail during an insightful, but accessible episode.

In this payroll podcast episode, we discover:

  • What our comprehensive Future of Work and People insight survey is telling us
  • How inefficiencies in your operation really happen in the first place
  • The threat of historic mergers and acquisitions pose on wider strategies
  • The opportunities of remote working from talent to wellbeing
  • Both sides of the debate: Should payroll become its own function outside of HR and finance?
  • How to create a winning business case for HR and payroll investment

Creating the foundations for Payroll & HR Success (Payroll Foundations Part 1)


This episode focuses on the six key drivers that lead to payroll success.

The first of five episodes, where we will address crucial topics that HR and payroll leaders can't ignore, as they seek to create the right people management ecosystem for their business.

HR leaders are driving overall business strategy, and they’ve got their work cut out for them. Now they are tasked with cultivating people ecosystems that are cost-efficient, future-proof and primed for growth.

However, without a solid operational HR foundation, organisations can run into compliance issues, payroll problems, or process issues that erode employee trust and derail HR’s strategies.

In the first in our series of five Foundations episodes, we combine a wealth of HR research and a panel of industry thought leaders to look into the future.

In our first episode, we will discuss the shared challenges that organisations experience when it comes to payroll and HR, dive deep into what is driving these challenges, and give actionable advice on how businesses can develop a solid HR ecosystem to overcome them.

What are the discussion points in the episode?

  • How to create the conditions for HR to thrive as strategic leaders
  • The biggest problems organisations face in payroll, from cost and complexity to compliance
  • Updating older systems and processes to make your data work for you
  • Real-life examples of the HR strategists who got it right
  • How to start mapping your HR and payroll foundations blueprint

Who should listen?

Senior decision-makers tasked with steering business strategy for HR, Payroll and Workforce Management, or managers looking to maximise the efficiency of existing HCM systems and software.

Welcome to "The Payroll Podcast," where we uncover the latest trends and technologies shaping the payroll industry. I'm your host, Nick Day, and today we have the privilege of speaking with Jason Sweby, a veteran in payroll software development. 


With over 25 years of experience and deep involvement in legislative transformations, Jason's insights are sure to enlighten us on the evolution of payroll systems and the future of payroll compliance.


Jason Sweby has played a pivotal role in advancing payroll and HR software solutions. Starting his career by joining his father's business, Carval Computing, Jason not only rewrote the company's primary product for the Windows platform but later as Technical Director and co-owner, led its acquisition and transition to the cloud with Civica. 


Recently, Jason has returned to his first love — software development — focusing on legislative changes in payroll and HR, bringing a wealth of knowledge about government compliance and the software industry's dynamics.


Key Topics:

  1. Evolution of Payroll Software: Jason Sweby shared his journey from software developer to payroll expert, highlighting the evolution of payroll systems and the need to adapt to changing legislation.
  2. Importance of Accuracy: Precision in payroll is critical, with even small errors having significant consequences. Compliance with tax, national insurance, and other statutory regulations is essential.
  3. AI Skepticism: Sweby is skeptical about AI’s current role in payroll, noting that while it has potential, human oversight is still necessary for handling complex compliance issues.
  4. Future Integration: The future of payroll lies in integrating payroll systems with HR, finance, and other business tools for improved efficiency and seamless data flow.
