Brent Skinner, Executive Community Leader at HR.com, notes: “Payroll is ground zero for the employee experience. When it goes wrong, it erodes trust. When it’s strategic, it becomes a powerful tool for engagement, equity, and efficiency.”
The HR Research Institute (HRRI), released its 2025 Future of Payroll Report. This report gathers insights from 206 HR professionals in nearly all industries worldwide, with the majority in North America, and representing small to very large organisations.
The findings highlight that most payroll functions strive to deliver compliant, accurate, and timely pay, the majority (two-thirds) do not respond to the organisation’s call for a more strategic and transformative payroll function.
Automation First, Strategic Transformation Second
“The research highlights how transformative payroll functions are differentiated by smartly deploying technology. Three-fourths noted improvements in automation compared to only 25% in transactional payroll functions. Transformative payroll functions, therefore, face fewer challenges in managing the overall technology stack, staying up-to-date with the law, and maintaining payroll security.”
Key Challenges and Future Trends
Despite the clear benefits of transformation, several hurdles remain. The top barriers include the lack of integration between payroll and HR systems, the high costs of upgrading payroll technology, limited automation, and poor data management. The results are in line with a prior news article by PayrollOrg (PAYO) covering ADP’s survey “The Potential of Payroll in 2025: Global Payroll Survey.”
The way ahead is clear: HR leaders point to an increased integration of payroll, HR, and attendance systems (55%), digitisation (43%), and AI-driven forecasting and analytics as the most significant trends for the next two years.
The top 3 for Modern Payroll Success
- Invest in scalable integrations (to and from payroll) to support automation and compliance, freeing up time from transactional work.
- Regularly update payroll strategies to respond to regulatory changes, market shifts, and evolving workforce needs.
- Prioritise employee-centric features, such as self-service portals, flexible payment options, and real-time pay transparency.
