Imagine approving a payroll that has been calculated perfectly, only for millions in salaries and taxes to leave your control in a spreadsheet that can be downloaded, edited and emailed. For thousands of organisations, that is still how payroll payments work, and Jonny Nash believes it is time the global payroll profession declared war on the bank file and rethought payroll payment security. In th...

Most conversations about on-demand pay stop in the same place. Employees want their money sooner, employers want to hold onto cash for longer, and an app sits somewhere in the middle. But a product that only moves payday forward will never fix the real problem, and a system that judges people on credit scores alone will keep shutting out those with stable jobs. Behind every early pay request lies...

Most payroll and reward events cover the same ground. Legislation updates, compliance checklists, a few case studies, then everyone goes home. But an event built only around compliance will never move a profession forward, and a profession that only talks about compliance will never earn a seat at the strategic table. Behind the awards, the keynotes, and the networking drinks lies a much bigger qu...

Payroll careers are often written off as accidents. Someone needed a job, a shared service center needed a body, and thirty years later they never left. But staying in payroll for three decades and being recognized as one of the best in the profession does not happen by accident. So what actually separates people who simply work in payroll from those who go on to shape its future? In this episode...

Most businesses think payroll is simple. Checks go out, employees get paid, and nobody complains. But treating payroll as an administrative task rather than a strategic function is exactly what keeps it invisible, underfunded, and one crisis away from becoming the biggest story in the business. In this episode of @thepayrollpodcast, Nick Day, CEO of JGA Recruitment, sits down with Tiana Neal, Foun...

Most businesses think payroll is working. People get paid, deadlines are met, and no one raises a flag. But compliant payroll is not the same as strategic payroll, and in a regulatory landscape that is shifting faster than most employers realise, the gap between the two has never been more costly. In this episode of @thepayrollpodcast, Nick Day, CEO of JGA Recruitment, sits down with Julie Gunnell...

This is the final episode of our three-part...

Every year, the conversations at Payroll Congress shift. Five years ago it was platforms and providers. Then remote work and resilience. But at the 44th Payroll Congress in Nashville, every conversation kept circling back to the same two questions: what can we actually trust AI to do, and what is going to be inside our payroll teams in five years' time? In this special live episode of @thepayrollp...

Most organizations are rushing to add AI to their payroll stack. But here is the uncomfortable truth. AI does not fix broken payroll. It amplifies it.

Does Payroll Need a Rebrand? | The Payroll Podcast with Vickie Graham, Nick Day, Ana Laiu, Ian Hodson and Melanie Pizzey For years, payroll has been viewed as a back office function focused on processing pay, managing compliance, and making sure employees are paid accurately and on time.
