10. What changes might we make to the payroll process in the next 5-10 years?
It’s not always possible to know what the future holds. At the same time, try to have a good idea of what’s possible.
What if the payroll process is moved in-house? Or, will the organization need to negotiate with your payroll provider for lower rates? Be sure the systems you review will integrate with a variety of payroll providers and software solutions.
What level of growth is predicted? Will you need more employee licenses to accommodate this, and if so, what will this cost?
Are future upgrades included, or will these be available at an additional cost? Will there even be upgrades released?
The implementation and training process, if it is done right, is thorough and time-intensive. Don’t get tied into a system you will want to leave in three years!
