Whilst training existing staff may seem like a viable solution, often this proves to be time-consuming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the payroll staff shortage isn\u2019t about to resolve itself any time soon, there are a few things you may need to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What would you do if your current staff fall ill?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are any members of staff nearing retirement?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What if one of your payroll staff resigned?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>An outside payroll provider could provide some welcome relief, whether you choose to outsource your payroll function entirely or keep some of it in house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But how do you make sure your payroll partner has the skills you need?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your payroll provider should deliver a positive experience for employees, which means pay accuracy has to be a priority. Question if your payroll partner has experience in your region and industry, and if they\u2019re familiar with in-country regulatory legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pay is just the start, your partner will need to factor in a list of variables such as holiday entitlements, employment contracts (permanent or temporary), training and professional development, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ability to adapt and change with your business shouldn\u2019t be overlooked. A partner who can quickly produce sophisticated reports to suit your business is just the start, your payroll partner should be committed to understanding your business model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With fewer qualified entrants into the HR and payroll space, it makes sense to partner with a provider who has the reputation, credentials and longevity to support your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/info.adp.com\/za-services?utm_source=BusinessTech&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_campaign=July+2023\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/info.adp.com\/za-services?utm_source=BusinessTech&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_campaign=July+2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Download the free ADP guide to learn more.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leading payroll provider ADP has published a valuable whitepaper that delves into the scarcity of payroll staff and how to tackle the ongoing talent shortage. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":57,"featured_media":700985,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10459],"tags":[17745],"class_list":["post-700953","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-industry-news","tag-adp"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/700953","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/57"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=700953"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/700953\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":701081,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/700953\/revisions\/701081"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/700985"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=700953"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=700953"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=700953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
