"Payslip’s automated reconciliation report is a huge time saver for my team. Previously it took 1 to 2 hours to gather all the data together manually. Every payroll country, every pay cycle. This feature from Payslip creates huge time savings and efficiencies while removing the frustration associated with payroll reconciliations. It is so much faster."
"Using Payslip, we can manage all our payrolls across nine in-country vendors on one platform. When the global Covid-19 pandemic arose, it was not an issue from a payroll perspective, and critically getting everyone paid. The Payslip platform enabled continuity for our international payroll service including the fast and seamless implementation of the Payslip Employment Self Service during this time."
“Payslip helps us deliver payroll more efficiently while moving through specific tasks with speed and purpose. The 3-way platform sharing between the client, ICP and client employees provides visibility and control with everybody operating in the same platform. The in-system alerts and notifications help us streamline and track communications and it is very useful to have 1 tool to access a range of different reports in real-time via self-serve.”
"Payslip has transformed our payroll capabilities and provider management process. We now have a single system of record and can consolidate our payroll data for enhanced reporting. The Payslip platform, process and experienced people are the right mix for our specific payroll goals."
“We have greatly benefited from Workday integrations with Payslip. Our pre-payroll dataflows are now automated, and we no longer have to manually build GL files which Payslip now generates automatically, saving our finance team a huge amount of time.”
"Payslip as a technology platform has added a missing piece in our payroll set-up. It helps us simplify reporting and communication with local providers, and means we have one simple employee-facing solution across all locations."
"Payslip is firmly bedded into Kirby's payroll process now, and we've seen massive efficiencies in the way we are processing our payrolls across Europe. We hope to bed in Italy & Switzerland now in Q2 so onwards & upwards!"
"Payslip positions your team for success, and allows you to onboard hundreds of people when you need them very quickly and efficiently, in the same way for each country. The uniformed approach empowered our payroll teams to keep pace with our business. Payslip also made our payroll process entirely transparent, which is invaluable to our payroll teams as we continue to grow and scale at such a rapid pace."
"Reporting is now standardized globally across all countries for the first time ever which is fantastic. Now it is very easy for us to run a report straight away and spot, for example, if the commission payments went up this month and the reason why. We've saved a lot of time in our month end process."
"A year ago, our Global Payroll lead presented Payslip to me & the CFO. I now realize why. I see Payslip is taking us forward to be the scalable $billion business we want to be."
"With business and employee growth rates of above 50%, we rely on our vendors to deliver on time, every time. Payslip’s workflow automation, enables Phorest to manage our payroll provider process – data driven, real time and transparent. Payslip saves us time so we can focus on our business growth."
