Case Study · Payroll Modernization
Before: recurring payroll cleanup. After: a steadier payroll cycle.
We focused on handoff quality, review checkpoints, and accountability before payroll submission.
The constraint
Payroll runs were regularly followed by avoidable corrections. Teams spent time fixing data issues instead of using payroll information to improve planning.
The fix
- Standardized pre-submission review for coded labor entries.
- Clarified who owns exception handling at each stage.
- Aligned payroll timing with weekly operations cadence.
Before → After
Before: Payroll data quality issues surfaced late and forced reactive corrections.
After: Issues were identified earlier, exception volume dropped, and payroll reporting became more useful for operational decisions.
Outcome
The client saw cleaner payroll cycles, fewer repeated correction patterns, and stronger trust in labor data used for planning and profitability review.
