SESAY / Payroll services
Payroll Consulting & Governance
Make the payroll process easier to explain, review and trust.
Built around your payroll function.
For Finance, HR and payroll leaders who need to understand process gaps, support a system change or establish repeatable controls.
Clear responsibilities
A scoped review identifies observations and practical actions. It is not an audit certification or a guarantee of compliance. Legal interpretations and specialist tax advice are referred where needed.
A considered transition
Define the question → review evidence and sample transactions → prioritise findings → assign actions → check completion.
Agree the scope before the first pay run
Define employee numbers, pay frequencies, entities, locations, awards or agreements, payroll and time systems, reporting, historical issues and cut-off times. Document who prepares, reviews, approves and releases each output.
Can this support HR and Finance as well as payroll?
Yes. The scope can include an HR change register, payroll queries, workforce cost reports and a shared escalation process. Access to personal information is limited to authorised responsibilities.
How is pricing determined?
Pricing depends on complexity, service coverage, capacity and transition requirements. The website cost comparison is a fictional planning example, not a SESAY quote.
What should we prepare for a discussion?
Bring a non-identifying payroll summary: workforce size, pay frequency, systems, locations, current team and the problems you want to solve. Do not send employee files through public channels.
Start with a clear brief.
Use the planning checklist to capture your needs, risks and responsibilities.
