Assessment and Reorganization of Payroll Department

This case study details the assessment and reorganization of a payroll department for a leading global Content Delivery Network, cybersecurity, and cloud service provider. The assessment was initiated due to the company's rapid growth from 250 million to over 2 billion in yearly revenue. The evaluation uncovered several payroll issues, including improper taxation and inefficient timekeeping practices. The findings were presented to the executive team, who were given three options for resolution. Ultimately, the decision was made to hire a third party for assistance. The solution involved reorganizing the payroll department by sourcing key roles and implementing an automated time tracking system. This approach addressed tax issues effectively and standardized payroll processes, significantly reducing payroll runs and costs. The collaboration with the Finance department further streamlined stock distribution, enhancing operational efficiency. The results included reduced liabilities and improved resource effectiveness, providing a roadmap for future milestones.
