Why Ageing Payroll Tech is Stealing Your Time and Money
About two‑thirds of payroll leaders say that the biggest roadblock in their day‑to‑day operations is a tangled, old‑school tech stack. It’s not just a headache – it’s a money‑purse‑thief.
The Numbers: How Much a “Classic” Payroll System Wins You
- Companies stuck with legacy systems lose an average of 80 workdays a year.
- Each payroll mishap costs on average $291 in wasted effort and error correction.
- Two‑thirds (67%) of leaders list “technology limitations” as the biggest payroll hurdle.
That might sound like a spreadsheet with too many commas, but it’s real – thousands of dollars lost every year.
Why the Status Quo Holds On (Anyway)
Breaking the “carry‑on” mentality is hard. Payroll upgrades compete with marketing, capital projects, and even the coffee machine budget. Yet, if you keep the old system, you’re inviting:
- Escalating compliance risks – regulatory updates can hit you with a wrench.
- Being left in the dust – competitors who automate can move faster and cheaper.
Cutting the Gordian Knot: A Unified, Modern Pay System
Chief Customer Officer John Pearce of CloudPay sums it up: “Keep rolling out the same old hand‑written forms and you’re adding extra minutes to every payroll run and risking errors that cost hundreds. A single, modern platform stops the chaos, free‑swinging the team to find new ways to add value.”
“Using a modern, unified approach to pay reduces mistakes, liberating a huge chunk of time for value‑adding initiatives and innovation.”
In a world where tech is part of everything from streaming to smart fridges, it’s a surprise how many firms cling to antiquated payroll processes – especially when accuracy and timeliness are everything.
