checking account payroll virtual wallets versus payroll savings account payroll payroll uh sorry papaya payroll payments forecasting payroll costs using virtual payroll accounts improving papaya Worldwide payroll payments as a tactical asset uh we’ll also go over a wrap-up and that must leave his time at the very really end for a q a session so as the title of the webinar recommends payroll officers on relocating to Virtual payroll accounts and here is why as dispersed to remote and Global workforces become a growing number of typical and managing them ends up being increasingly more complicated Global organizations are aiming to find Solutions and brand-new ways to streamline procedures especially from a payroll and cross-border payment standpoint lots of companies maintain separate bank account just for payroll while some have several accounts in various countries does it make sense for business to preserve different savings account sometimes in different countries it does however just for payroll exists a much better method what function do virtual accounts and digital wallets likewise called virtual wallets play in helping international business improve the episode complex processes of
making payroll payments properly effectively firmly and on time during this webinar we’ll stroll you through the global pros and cons of a payroll wallet versus a payroll bank account how companies accurately forecast their payroll expenses to increase working capital and how enhancing Global payroll payments can turn them from a siled pane into a strategic asset so payroll can be challenging in sufficient in one country but when you’re doing it worldwide it’s next level and Beyond it ends up being complicated for a range of reasons most notably regulations compliance data security and banking guidelines then there are the sheer numbers they add more intricacy the global Labor force is presently three and a half billion people by 2030 it’s estimated that in Africa alone they will contribute and additional 1.1 billion individuals that number is currently 500 million just for for a scale then consider that there are some 230 million companies and growing all doing their own thing worldwide in the conventional payroll design there’s typically an overwhelming number of various systems resulting in time-consuming manual procedures and silos the number of Integrations could be non-existent in big amounts and or very very standard there’s no real consistency structure we’re living in an era of tech but payroll has been slow to get on board in fact as much as 25 of payroll is still done by hand frequently with pen and paper which just blows my mind whenever I I think
about it to give you a concept of how far there still is to come according to Deloitte just 11 of organizations state they have Labor force information in real time that’s another number that offers me sleepless nights and rather frankly the more a company invests in international payroll the less of an image they see an absence of presence likewise extends to payroll payments and failure to accurately track these payments can lead to compliance accidents in the last mile of the transaction almost half of international organizations have actually revealed that they do not have the level of standardization they need in their processes or want and as a result eighty percent of mistakes are due to time reporting poor HCM information data entry mistakes improperly interacted hires and terminations in addition to absence management and system configurations and after that when you round everything off and the information is shipped to the incorrect location the typical cost of a global data breach at this moment is 3.9 billion dollars once payrolls are done we still require to move the cash worldwide payroll and payments don’t run smoothly if they depend on the necessary numerous procedures systems and partners it is simply not possible so Johnny from a payments point of view and in your experience what else needs to be factored into the challenges service face when they’re paying to staff members or otherwise that’s an excellent question I always throw this back and state what is it what doesn’t require to be consisted of ideal and what does
it require 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 consumer’s own in-country account so there’s intricacy wherever you look ideal eventually building a knowledge base is definitely crucial however all over you look with payroll payment they resemble very 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 acknowledgment that payroll payments are absolutely essential and innovation is permitting us to kind of move on with that it likewise as well to add to that payroll and finance need to work closer together um with varying Checking account Particulars varying banking requirements and setup procedures is definitely vital that payroll and finance teams work closer together than ever um I’m constantly amazed when individuals say I’ve split payroll and payment um if you stroll down the street and asked anyone what is payroll who does not operate in the payroll profession would they divide the payroll payment from estimation I would say no so why do we as an industry accept that why our payroll and payments so often split and cut up um eventually it’s payroll is an end-to-end process it’s the point of information collection all the way through to paying individuals anywhere they are but also paying statutory authorities and on statutory 3rd parties so with the
world we reside in and wellness being a growing number of essential to contribute to kind of the level of intricacy there’s increasingly more benefits being organ or being used by services throughout the world so again you’re just aiming to add increasingly more payments to this already complicated landscape so if you type of got any experience well I’m from your huge experience here and I make sure however have you got any experience in kind of genuine challenges or genuine challenging type of pay uses to play to pay individuals I believe yeah I mean over the last well yeah a couple of years I would absolutely say that the larger an organization gets the more it tends to segregate the payroll and the payments operates um there are teams doing one part of the job there are teams feeding info into the next function as it were that’s really handling the payment side of things however you understand in in my opinion and my experience that doesn’t always require to be the case you know long gone are the times where we require to create extra handoffs while doing sos that we run in they simply make them more timely they make them less efficient and they don’t make them what they need to be in in an era of tech and an age that you know that we are working in today there is no reason we are still making this as difficult as it needs to be concurred and appropriately as you stated payroll is the single most significant liability that any organization has from a cost perspective from an impact viewpoint on workers it is definitely critical that it’s done correctly and on time so what we suggest by that is not a day before not a day after on pay day and payments have to be done right it has the biggest destructive impact on individuals’s well-being and lots of other aspects if people aren’t paid uh I’ve constantly been astonished entering into this Market sort of the last 5 to 10 years is how little thanks the
payroll team get um so I’m not sure anybody on this type of webinar has actually been informed thank you for processing my payroll correctly if you have it ‘d be excellent to hear your success story and whether that’s been from all employees or not um however eventually payroll is such an essential cycle all of us find out about it when it goes wrong everyone jumps up and down when it fails but when it goes right it’s just a tick box workout and I believe that’s how it’s seen from the external consider as well um so yeah it’s also like why WI-Fi Global why all of this stuff is definitely crucial that all of this things is done correctly so leveraging the first International Payments very first payroll payment service is a fantastic first step um offering an end-to-end payroll option for your staff members internationally again I think is another substantial um process again aligning and guaranteeing you have standardization International procedures all of those things are definitely crucial to success success of services and lowering the variety of tools platforms and checking account they need for their International payroll too could not agree with you more and on the the front in regards to of the thank yous for getting payroll done I’ve never had a hundred thousand of them within a payroll cycle don’t anticipate to you do get the odd 5 or ten or whatever it might be with the with the the problems where things have not gone rather where they’re suggested to be um I do not think any of us are actually doing that for for the thanks
anyhow we know how how essential a function it is which’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 likewise so imagine sorry I’m simply I was simply gon na say imagine the quantity of thanks you got if you might cover the quantity of individuals that we cover within this webinar I make certain we’re talking about numerous thousands possibly Millions imagine getting that numerous thank you keeps in mind um I mean it ‘d be interesting to see the number of Post-it notes you got but it would definitely be an interesting job attempting to clean all those up for sure oh absolutely I can’t imagine the size of my my Outlook inbox if that held true um you ‘d need days of the week to attempt to browse them and actually see what was going on and type of shot to get back to everybody so proceeding look why do companies select to main separate checking account there are Papaya Global Malaysia companies out there doing exactly this for specific nations and I have actually worked in a company or numerous services doing exactly that I can state it doesn’t constantly feel efficient and it does produce more work I understand we’re not deliberately doing that we’re not creating extra work for anyone where we do not need to and anyone that’s managing that process I ‘d be interested to hear your thoughts Johnny why do you believe that we’re doing that in in the in the quantity that we are I believe numerous factors one is it’s the requirement I believe people have got so utilized to we need a brand-new checking account we open an entity and appropriately so you need it for payroll functions however there are a number of markets where it’s not a requirement so I think it’s just been the requirement and the standard individuals have embraced and continue to do over years and years gone past to add to that people have actually looked at things like trust accounts and numerous other ways um to to kind of do it so I believe there’s a variety I think this is a procedure that needs taking a look at it requires changing but ultimately people are very stuck with what they’re familiar
with best um change is a tough thing we all do not like modification um so I think it’s simply kind of moving far from the standard as we have actually said so yeah so it keeps a lot of track of stuff um I understand certainly the advantages of having preserving multiple savings account but there’s a huge quantity of intricacy goes with establishing a savings account maintaining it guaranteeing it can send out International transfers ensuring it’s established with the right user accesses for private people so the intricacy is huge however I believe the honest answer is modification um individuals have not been able to alter or have not had always the understanding to actually make that change into alternate Solutions other than opening a checking account I think you’ve hit the nail on the head I believe it is understanding you know and there is an element of resistance to change but we’ve always done it that way is no genuine excuse for not taking a look at the the advantages and the possibilities of moving on and moving into you know what might nearly be determined to be the next Century or two there is a lot to keep an eye on and this method does pose a number of obstacles um so Johnny could you tell us about those obstacles yeah naturally so there’s a range right there is so
