GLOBAL PAYROLL MAGAZINE
03
Foreword
Welcome to the debut issue of 04:05 and the start of an exciting new chapter for the GPA.
04:05 is Global Payroll Day and 04:05 is an online magazine that uplifts global payroll industry voices. The wizardry of payroll often happens behind the scenes, it’s so important that we champion the achievements of our community and the remarkable individuals within it. Every month industry leaders and respected payroll professionals will offer their perspectives on contemporary payroll issues and share their wins, advice and challenges to give us a window into their region of the world. We will include pieces from writers from across the globe to make this a truly inclusive publication that represents us all. Following the success of the GPA’s six-part Phoenixed podcast series documenting the Canadian government’s botched payroll transformation project and its ongoing impact, our debut centres articles about getting payroll right. From selecting a great partner to protecting employee data and - wherever you are - compliance, compliance, compliance.
In this month’s cover story Beyond Numbers: Empowering People Through Payroll Transformation , Victoria Thatcher gets behind the headline-grabbing payroll system failures of recent years to focus on the humans beyond the payslips, while Ayşe Nazmiye Uça guides us through The Birth of the Turkish Payroll Association . Features to look for include our monthly columns: Jeni Morris’s straight-talking and informative NMW Agony Aunt and the witty Diary of an HR Manager plus articles with regional insights from all over the global payroll community. 04:05 is not an ordinary name for a magazine, however, it is the perfect name for THIS magazine where we will showcase the wealth of knowledge that global payroll professionals have and discover the huge range of experiences that happen under the payroll umbrella. 04:05 is not an ordinary name because we intend to be extraordinary, just like the people of payroll!
