Costly errorsWorldwide statistics indicate that payroll is the most challenging back-office process for most companies. For instance, according to
The Workforce Institute, 49% of employees would begin searching for a new job after two issues with their paycheck. Even one small mistake in payroll may affect the well-being of employees and ultimately their efficiency in the workplace. Everyone wants salary to be paid on time, so it's vitally important for employers to make the payroll process absolutely accurate.
Diverse legislationWhen it comes to payroll, there are federal and local authorities with diverse, country-specific rules and serious penalties.

So, HR and legal departments are caught in the middle and have to comply with all requirements on different levels.
