Improving Payroll Accuracy

Controls that catch payroll errors before they reach employees.

By AiHxM Editorial Team · · 2 min read

Accuracy is a process

Most payroll errors are not arithmetic. They come from wrong inputs, late changes and unexplained differences. Controls around the calculation matter more than the calculation.

Controls that work

  • Compare each run with the previous month and investigate large changes
  • Lock inputs by a cut-off date and handle later changes as adjustments
  • Run a simulation before the real run
  • Require a second person to approve
  • Reconcile payments with the payroll after the run

Keep an audit trail

Know who changed a salary, when, and why. If a finalised run is wrong, correct it by reversal and a new run so the history stays honest.

Check statutory settings

Whenever a tax or contribution notification changes, update the settings with an effective date and review a sample payslip.
