04:05 FOREWORD
The CIPD Scandal
simple providers into true partners, and share an important update on gender pay gap reporting across Europe. A look at the collapse of HR from the inside has essential lessons for payroll, and an exploration of harassment not just as an HR concern, but as a mirror of company culture, challenges us all to think about the environments we create and maintain. What makes 04:05 special is the diversity of voices behind the text. Our contributors span continents and bring perspectives that reflect the lived experiences of payroll professionals worldwide. That same spirit of connection is what makes GPA events so powerful. From now until the end of the year, you’ll find networking opportunities in London, Melbourne, Sydney, Dubai, Johannesburg, Sweden, and Dublin, plus a Payroll Professional’s Guide to Navigating and Leading Through Change webinar with UKG. You don’t need to be a member to take part, just bring your passion for payroll and join us in elevating our exceptional global community!
T he CIPD scandal had everyone talking this month, and while it’s been interesting to hear the HR perspective, I keep asking myself, where is the global payroll community in all this? Here, at the height of the drama, instead of privately raking over the salacious details or thanking our lucky stars it isn’t us at the other end of the backlash, we need to forcefully and vocally change the narrative. As an industry, we need to capitalise on this moment to share all the positive things we do. The powerful data we hold, which can help grow and direct a business, the fortune we save in penalties and fines by averting compliance crises, and our unique insights. This issue of 04:05 delves into some of the ongoing challenges and thought- provoking conversations impacting global payroll today. We consider the complexities of navigating compliance risks when expanding into Africa, examine how EORs are evolving from
