How efficient is your payroll operation?
Fifteen questions measure your process speed, compliance risk, automation, integration, budget planning and operational continuity. At the end you get an efficiency score out of 100, a comparison with companies of your size and improvement steps written for your answers.
Scored across six dimensions
Before you start
The questions map your current payroll setup. Your answers are kept on your device for one day so you can pick up an unfinished test; your result is stored anonymously to help us improve our services.
The six dimensions scored
- Process & TimeMonthly close duration, data flow and how often corrections happen.
- Compliance & RiskHow you track social security and tax changes, and your filing history.
- AutomationManual effort in calculation and employee self-service.
- IntegrationData exchange between payroll, HR, accounting and ERP.
- Budget & PlanningHow the workforce cost budget is built and kept current.
- Cost & ContinuityHow many people can run the process, and how advances are handled.
Method
How the score is calculated
Every answer carries a raw score of 0–10, multiplied by the weight of its question; your score is those weighted points over the highest you could have earned. The weights are not equal: the areas that produce the largest time cost and the risk that turns into penalties count for more.
What decides your score?
- Process & Time26%
- Compliance & Risk21%
- Automation15%
- Budget & Planning15%
- Cost & Continuity14%
- Integration8%
Percentages show each dimension's share of the total score in the 15-question test. If you run payroll in more than one country, an extra compliance question is added and that share grows.
