CIPP SOFTWARE DIRECTORY 2022

Editor foreword

measures introduced. If outsourcing or, conversely, bringing the payroll in-house is something you and your organisation are considering, then this directory is a good place to start. As we emerge from the pandemic and start to see a return to some semblance of normality, businesses may start looking in more detail into what their payroll software provider can offer. This directory gives an overview of what the current market offerings are, and hopefully will give you the information you need to identify the right software provider for you to reach out to. In recognition of just how important selecting the right payroll software is, this year’s software directory has been given a complete revamp, to make it more up-to-date and relevant than ever. The directory can be used as a tool to help you determine which software provider can offer products to meet your organisation’s needs. It can be used as an effective tool for liaising with senior stakeholders, to put your business case forward and to highlight why you believe a certain software provider would work particularly well within your organisation. All information is held in concise, easy-to-read tables, and this year’s directory contains more software providers than ever before. The payroll world is your oyster… Contents Supplier overview ���������������������������������������������������������������������������������� 4 Payroll features���������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� 6 HR features���������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� 16 Expenses and benefits features������������������������������������������������������ 17 Workforce management features�������������������������������������������������� 18 Self-service features��������������������������������������������������������������������������� 20 Microsoft Azure technology: taking payroll to new heights (Moorepay) ���������������������������������������������������������������������������� 25 5 tips to simplify and save time on your payroll processes post-pandemic (Ceridian) ������������������������������������������ 26 Supplier directory �������������������������������������������������������������������������������� 28 It’s time to make pensions digital (PensionSync)�������������������� 30

One of the most rewarding (if not time-consuming!) projects for a payroll department to be involved in is the implementation of new payroll software. Having appropriate software in place to align with the specific requirements of an organisation, which teams can rely on to perform calculations accurately, is imperative in ensuring the correct payment to workers within pre-agreed timeframes. This is so important because research highlights how workers paid incorrectly only twice, may start seeking alternative employment. I’ve watched the evolution of payroll software during a decade of working within the industry, and the progression has been nothing short of amazing. There will be many reading this today who’ve seen that progression over multiple decades. This includes the introduction of more sophisticated systems, which interface with one another, removing the requirement for duplication of work and manual entry. Also, the advancement of the payslip – once regularly printed out and distributed manually, now hosted on cloud-based servers and readily available for review at any time. In addition, employee self-service creates the opportunity for individuals to make changes to their personal details themselves, and interact without the need for a paper trail. I hesitate to mention the dreaded ‘p’ word, but the pandemic had a massive impact on how payroll was processed. Not only were changes made to statutory sick pay, and a whole new scheme introduced in the form of the coronavirus job retention scheme, but everyone had to adapt to a new way of working from home. This forced many organisations to take the plunge and invest in new payroll software, with popularity for software that could be accessed remotely surging. We also heard numerous reports that outsourcing of the payroll function became increasingly common during this time. This could have been for several reasons, including staff absences during the pandemic or increased complexity of the payroll due to the government support

Although the information within this directory has been supplied by providers of payroll and/or HR software or services it has not been verified by the CIPP. Additional market research should be conducted before engaging with any new supplier of software or services to ensure business needs are met.
