There’s a common misconception that payroll offerings are only necessary when your organisation reaches a certain size. However, small companies should not overlook partnering with a payroll provider that fits their needs, especially when they’re looking to expand into new regions.

Already a key concern since the beginning of COVID-19, operational efficiency stays top of mind. Understandable, but don’t just concentrate on doing things right. Doing the right things is just as important. And HR analytics could well be the glue between efficiency and effectiveness. Check the opportunities in 3 HR domains.

Outsourcing HR tasks such as payroll implies handing highly valuable company and personnel information over to an external partner. How can you guarantee they handle those data professionally, with integrity and confidentiality, and in compliance with the strict EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)? The answer: ISAE 3000 attestation.

A recent employer survey by SD Worx, in which nearly 1,400 European companies shared their future intentions regarding HR, leaves no room for misunderstanding: internal mobility is top of mind. Companies are increasingly looking inwards for talent.

Global Payroll Week is an annual opportunity to put the world of payroll in the spotlight. At SD Worx, we have relied on our payroll specialists during the past month more than ever before.

Offering an interesting and competitive pay package, but not highlighting it afterwards, is a bit like a rainbow in the dark. As not even half of employees regularly look at their payslip, many will undoubtedly lose sight of what they actually earn.

GDPR has been a burning subject in the past three years now. It was enforceable in 2018 across European countries and things have evolved since then. In fact, since its implementation date until January 2020, some 160,921 personal data breaches with EEA have been reported (DLA Piper: GDPR Data breach Survey 2020). In this article, we’ll go about how to complete the data register followed by a data handling case by science giant Dupont.

Throughout the entire anniversary year of 2020, SD Worx invited 4,600 employees and 68,000 customers worldwide to collect 'sparks' through remarkable collaborations, heart-warming initiatives and great stories for charity. If we managed to collect 75,000 sparks, SD Worx would donate €150,000 spread across 75 charities.

In this increasingly globalised world, there is a vast array of opportunities for businesses to explore. For companies looking to expand their international reach, payroll is one of the biggest consideration factors.
