Payroll resources for HR leaders

A reliable HR-to-payroll handover

Record effective dates, approval, employment status, classification, hours and supporting evidence for every change. A change register should show what was received, what is missing and who resolves it before cut-off.

Leave and employee exits

Bring HR’s reason for termination and employment records together with payroll’s leave balances and pay components. Agree responsibilities for entitlement decisions, sensitive correspondence and approval of the final calculation.

A shared view of the workforce

Use approved, access-controlled reporting for headcount, FTE, turnover, absence, leave exposure and overtime. Agree definitions and reconcile the report to payroll so HR and Finance can discuss the same population.

Employee confidence and confidentiality

Make payroll query ownership visible and close the loop with employees. Restrict access to sensitive records, document authorised changes and explain corrections clearly.

How SESAY supports HR

SESAY can help build change checklists, query logs, leave and termination workpapers, reporting definitions and an agreed payroll review process. The aim is a more predictable handover and fewer unresolved questions at pay-day.
