PAYROLL INSIGHT SURVEY REPORT 2025 | IN-HOUSE

Sponsor foreword

Today’s organisations face more complex workforce challenges than ever. The CIPP Payroll Insights Report 2025 reveals just how stretched in-house payroll teams have become, with some professionals now processing nearly 1,000 payslips each month. With tight cut-off deadlines and constant tax and pay queries, it’s clear the pressure on payroll teams has never been higher. At Dayforce, we applaud the dedicated payroll professionals who deliver accurate, timely payments every time. We’re proud to sponsor this year’s Payroll Insights Report – In-house and to help raise the profile of payroll professionals, recognising the huge value they bring to organisations across the UK and worldwide. Our brand promise at Dayforce is to “ Make Work Life Better ” by helping people “ Do the Work You Are Meant to Do ”. This isn’t just a slogan – it’s what we enable millions of people globally to achieve every day. As today’s workforce seeks more flexibility, personalisation, and purpose, our global people platform helps organisations cut through complexity and shape the workforce of tomorrow. So how does technology free payroll professionals to focus on the work that matters most? Take payroll processing. Many leaders still only discover errors after payroll has closed – when it’s too late. Traditional payroll runs in batches: upload data, press the button, hope everything balances.

This creates problems: ● no visibility into live errors (e.g. duplicates, missing timesheets) ● CFOs and CHROs forced to make decisions on outdated data ● compliance breaches only discovered after the fact. With continuous calculation and real-time data, payroll can become proactive. Errors are flagged as they happen, payroll cycles are more flexible, and organisations can even offer on-demand pay – an increasingly valuable benefit for employees. A second area where technology makes a real difference is AI . Too often the risks of AI dominate the conversation, but when delivered responsibly – secure, compliant, and on your terms – it can: ● give employees quick access to information, reducing payroll queries ● detect anomalies early, increasing accuracy ● boost productivity so payroll professionals can shift their focus from admin to strategic work. We’re proud to be working with the CIPP on this year’s report and to support payroll professionals across more than 7,000 organisations worldwide. Together, we’re helping to Make Work Life Better .
