We Are Celebrating National Payroll Week 2023

HR Connect is celebrating National Payroll Week 2023 an event dedicated to recognising the crucial role that payroll professionals play in ensuring employees are paid accurately and on time.

Importance of Payroll - What is Payroll?

The main aim within the payroll department at HR Connect, is to ensure our customers are paid:

• Accurately

• Correctly

• On time

• Compliantly, in line with legislation.

As a payroll team, we ensure that our customers are performing their legal duties, all staff are paid their hard-earned wages and ensure the economy continues to run.

The bottom line is, its all about pay! Employees who are paid correctly and accurately are happy employees, and our team at HR Connect make sure this is the end goal!
