Done With Inaccurate Payroll Reporting? Here’s How to Stop Losing Money to Payroll Mistakes

Payroll is one of the most critical yet error-prone processes in any business. When payroll reporting is inaccurate, the consequences can be severe: frustrated employees, compliance risks, and significant financial losses.

Did you know, according to research from the Global Payroll Association:

• 91% of businesses across the UK and Ireland admit to making payroll errors every month
• 72% still use manual processes, causing discrepancies between different departments involved in payroll processing.
• Payroll mistakes cost businesses an estimated £150 million annually due to penalties, overpayments, and corrections.
• A staggering 49% of employees consider leaving their job after experiencing payroll issues.

For businesses managing complex workforces—especially in industries like hospitality, healthcare, retail, and construction — these errors often stem from disconnected systems: one tool for time tracking, another for shift scheduling, and yet another for payroll. These silos create inefficiencies, manual work, and endless opportunities for mistakes.

The Root of the Problem? Disconnected Systems 🤖⚡

Inaccurate payroll reporting typically comes down to one thing: fragmented processes. When you’re using separate tools to manage time tracking, scheduling, leave management, and payroll, you’re left:

• Manually reconciling timesheets and schedules, increasing the risk of human error.
• Chasing missing or incorrect data across multiple platforms.
• Spending hours cross-checking information just to make payroll calculations add up.

For businesses with shift workers, subcontractors, or multiple sites, the challenge grows exponentially. Payroll inaccuracies can snowball into delayed payments, compliance fines, and unhappy teams.
