The calculating salaries process is a bit more complicated because it should take into account a number of legal constraints, therefore the accuracy, compliance and risk management come into play.
Moreover, the payroll draws attention to all employees every month, from the CEO to the lowest position in the hierarchy of the organization – ensuring optimal functioning of the payment process at the end of the work month.

Simultaneously, these organizations that preferred the old safety systems in the detriment of technological innovation just lose the opportunity to get what is most important from payroll data.
