My Payroll Career – by Nick Day, JGA Recruitment

"I didn’t plan to work in payroll when I was a kid, I just kinda fell into it like everyone did, I learned its importance as a critical function, Its place within business; it acts like a junction, For employee well-being, HR and accounts, We calculate pay and distribute financial amounts,

Keeping people paid correctly keeps businesses solvent, Earn money and save in a pension thanks to auto enrolment.

A new payroll anthem Nick Day ACIPP, managing director, JGA recruitment group, talks through the payroll anthem to lead payroll professionals through 2022 and beyond

“You see I love payroll and payroll loves me, I don’t mind liaising with H-M-R-C, I enjoy manual payments and calculating SMP, Payroll is the career for me!

“People think we just press a button and that makes me mad, Payroll is a Chartered profession, not just a fad, It takes training and experience to become a true payroll lead, Passion, commitment and personality, that is what you need, Experience the best of HR, tech and finance, It requires a hybrid of skills combined like a shared services romance, Benefits, tax changes, pensions, reconciliations and more, To us it’s a choice, a career, not a chore or a bore.

“You see I love payroll and payroll loves me, I don’t mind liaising with H-M-R-C, I enjoy manual payments and calculating SMP, Payroll is the career for me!

“Payroll is changing, and the landscape is looking bright, We look to new technologies to show us the light, Chatbots, AI and robotic process automation, Introducing blockchain technology and other innovations, The fact remains that payroll is essential and critical, Should probably have governance at a level that is ministerial, Titles changing to become more payroll analytical, Brexit will bring changes too but hey, let’s not get political!

“You see I love payroll and payroll loves me, I don’t mind liaising with H-M-R-C, I enjoy manual payments and calculating SMP, Payroll is the career for me! “You see I love payroll and payroll loves me, I don’t mind liaising with H-M-R-C, I enjoy manual payments and calculating SMP, Payroll is the career for me!”
