Vickie led this interesting discussion focusing on how the role of payroll is changing and technology is enabling payroll to add strategic value to organisations. Financial awareness has been a hot topic for payroll for a while, even more so since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic and the impact that has had on the lives and livelihoods of employees. Our panel discussed how payroll can support employees in financial awareness, including how it is an important aspect when considering offering PoD. Often a controversial topic, our panellists talked about how their organisations enable PoD, and provided food for thought regarding access to earned wages. Whilst ‘true’ PoD would require significant change, models currently available do support employee engagement within organisations.

In addition to PoD, our panellists briefly explored cryoptocurrency as an alternative payment method.
