With winter coming to an end, the sun is coming out of hibernation and spring is rolling around. But as we prepare for the time of new beginnings, with flowers blooming and the leaves back on the trees, how can you use HR Tech to make the most of the new season? Rather than being stuck in the office, battling through endless admin and other time-consuming tasks, introducing HR tech into your organisation can put a spring back in the step of the payroll function.

Running company payroll throughout multiple regions comes with complexities that can be hard for a single HR and payroll department to handle—from understanding local legislations to language barriers. With local providers often struggling to fulfil global capabilities, multinational payroll providers are paramount in today’s modern payroll operations. 
 

The Christmas festive period might be over, but winter is certainly not. With snow thick and fast in some regions, it’s understandable that HR and payroll teams may want to pack up and hibernate for the next couple of months.  So, how can HR and payroll teams beat the January blues and feel inspired in the New Year? To start with, they can begin to minimise the mundane back office admin tasks that absorb so much of their time.

After a year and a half of negotiations, on 13 November 2018 British Prime Minster May and the European Union reached a technical agreement on the UK leaving the European Union. The deal sets out the general terms on how the United Kingdom and the European Member states will cooperate after the UK has left the EU. The impact for you as an employer with employees inside or from the UK is now also clear. What you should know. 

This tests an organisation's planning but offers an opportunity to revolutionise the way that your business runs, reducing overheads, saving time, and improving efficiency. For an employee, this, if done badly, can result in much frustration, a lack of productivity, and the desire to look elsewhere.

It’s likely that no matter whether an organization works in the EU or not, its heard of the General Data Protection Regulation. GDPR, which was implemented on the 25th May 2018, changes the ways that data is processed, stored, and used by organizations. Although GPDR focuses on the data of EU citizens, it is not limited to EU organizations. Wherever an organization is around the world, if they handle the data of EU citizens they must comply with GDPR laws and legislations. 
 

On 31st October, SD Worx is hosting an exclusive webinar, in collaboration with Ascender, to discuss the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and how it affects organisations outside of the EU.

If no agreement between the UK and the European Union is reached at the EU summit on 18 and 19 October, the transitional period that would have applied until the end of 2020 will expire. As a result, on 29 March 2019, the UK’s membership in the EU will end, and EU law will no longer apply. If your company employs people in or from the UK, this change could be far-reaching. So, take the bull by the horns and avoid unpleasant surprises caused by a ‘no deal’ scenario by making the right preparations.

September: the month that children dread as they make their return to school after the freedom of the long summer months. But for adults, especially those in the payroll industry, after the quiet summer period September should be a time to be motivated and to adopt that ‘back to school’ thinking.

In the lead up to 25th May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was everywhere as organizations across Europe (and further afield) prepared for stricter regulations on handling customer and employee data. Three months have passed since its implementation, but what’s new with GDPR?

Is your HR and payroll team feeling the heat this summer? With the weather heating up, most of us want to get out and enjoy the sun or escape on a holiday. However, with more staff members out of the office, this can mean that the payroll team might be running on reduced numbers.
