Payroll calculation within one day at ASSA ABLOY
Challenges
Based on previous and successful cooperation between Forvis Mazars and ASSA ABLOY, Forvis Mazars in Croatia was contacted by the client and soon the cooperation was agreed. The client wanted to focus more on its core activities and strategic goals and saw the improvement of the current payroll process as one way to achieve just that.
Solutions
The workplace management system used by ASSA ABLOY was a system which goal is efficient tracking of work records. This system wasn’t efficient enough and the employees didn’t use it in a full capacity. Therefore, the importation of the required information into the system was done partially manually and partially automatically. Forvis Mazars’ suggestion was that, since the company wanted to keep this system, they also make it mandatory by communicating internally. This led to improving the existing payroll process by allowing a complete automatic import. In extension, Forvis Mazars took over the monthly payouts by accepting the challenge of the tight schedule, under which we are required to produce a salary calculation for around 150 workers in about 24 hours from receiving the required input from ASSA ABLOY.
