Get Through Year-End with Fewer Issues, Better Productivity

If you work on a calendar year, you know the next few months are going to get hectic in the payroll department, to say the least. You aren’t alone. Businesses are dealing with holidays and employees using vacation time while trying to prepare month-end, quarter-end, and year-end reports. As employees work hard to keep up with daily tasks and reporting deadlines, mistakes may be made. Provide employees with simple, yet effective, technology to strengthen the payroll process and correct payroll mistakes faster.

It's Not Always a Winter Wonderland in Q4

Why does it always seem so hectic in the office at the end of the year? It’s pretty predictable if you work on a calendar year schedule. There are several multi-day holidays at the end of the year, employees take extra days off for vacations and there are more reports to complete than at other times of the year. That combination usually means a reduction in productivity.

While vacationing employees and an increase in reporting doesn’t necessarily mean you should sound the alarms, there is the added pressure to get things done quickly. Distractions and over-stressed employees create conditions that are ripe for mistakes. Unfortunately, making mistakes with payroll and financial reporting makes matters even worse. It takes even more time to correct mistakes, which further impacts productivity and puts important year-end tasks further and further behind.
