How Can Payroll Inefficiencies Affect a Company’s Culture?

 In India, an incompetent salary is one of the most significant reasons employees resign. Nothing new, isn't it? But did you know that an incompetent and non-compliant payroll system could also lead to employee resignation? 

Yes. That's true. Payroll inefficiencies could frustrate employees and compel them to resign. But surprisingly, that's not the only damage that an incompetent payroll system could do to a company. There's much more. And, what is it? Let's see.

Payroll Inefficiencies Could Affect Company Culture in 3 Ways

Payroll outsourcing is a massive responsibility. It isn't merely about processing an employee's salary but complying with various other aspects. Failing to comply with them could lead to dissatisfaction among employees. But what's even more harmful to the company in the long run, or perhaps to its existence, is the culture that an incompetent payroll system could develop.

Accordingly, let's look at three ways payroll inefficiencies could spoil a company's culture and image in the long run.

Dissatisfaction Due to Deprivation of Employee Benefits

This is a problem seen mainly in the case of smaller companies with fewer employees. Such companies ignore aspects like providing Mediclaim, gratuity, PF, etc., to their employees. They get away with only PT (Professional Tax).

Although deductions prove to be beneficial for employees in the long run. For instance, deducting PF, wherein employer and employee contribute, helps employees after resigning from the organization. They can withdraw the PF and get a hefty amount to fulfill their needs. 

But if the company doesn't deduct PF, even if mandated to do so, employees feel dissatisfied. Many don't find a point in working in a company, as they wouldn't have any economic benefit after leaving the company. 

Even while applying for loans, banks check the employer's credibility. Pay slips are a crucial factor in doing it. PF and other statutory deductions signify the company's trustworthiness and how compliant it is. Often, employees working in such non-compliant companies, no matter their salaries, are denied loans. That's another cause of dissatisfaction!

Bad Word of Mouth

Employees are the company's biggest brand ambassadors. Payroll inefficiencies could also lead to bad publicity. It could affect existing and incoming talent. 

Existing employees (perhaps, who are still in the company because they don't have any other option) and resigned employees may discourage new talent from entering the company. So, on the one hand, where HR devises talent acquisition strategies, on the other hand, they are oblivious that their employees are closing their doors, making their attempts to hire the best talent futile.

In addition, ex-and existing employees putting up bad reviews on Google and citing payroll incompetence as a reason could prove to be another setback. But all of it could become part of the culture that payroll inefficiencies may be building.


Frequent Arguments with the HR Department

Arguments with the HR department are undoubtedly an unhealthy sign. While some employees reserve their frustration for themselves, some are vocal about it. Face-to-face confrontations, complaining emails, etc., do not create a positive image of the company, especially in the case of novices. All these factors affect the company's reputation, standing, and overall identity.

Conclusion

Payroll and compliance aren't merely essential but necessary. Companies cannot afford to let payroll inefficiencies and, therefore, a steady buildup of dissatisfaction among employees.
