We have put together a short survey to give you an accurate picture of how efficiently your payroll and social security administration processes and employees are currently operating. Evaluate the current situation and see exactly where your development points are in the company.

Are there any sufficient staff available to carry out payroll tasks, currently?

• Yes, we have the right number of employees with whom we can perfectly solve payroll tasks. (3)
• There are already qualified workers to carry out the tasks, but in order to be prepared for all situations, it would be necessary to hire more staff for the right number of people. (2)
• We do not have the sufficient workforce and we cannot solve this problem at this time. We often cannot meet deadlines, and substitution is also a serious challenge. (1)

Is the substitution of the payroll accountant solved for the duration of her leave, illness and prolonged absence?

• Yes, we can solve it perfectly, the employees receive the previously requested leave, the substitutions are also solved within the team. (3)
• Generally, we can solve it, however, it happens that due to unexpected diseases or other reasons it causes us great concern who to replace the colleague with. (2)
• No, we cannot solve the substitution for a longer period of time, unfortunately, we are few of us. (1)

Is the knowledge of the payroll/social security colleagues always up to date?

• Yes, we constantly train them, their knowledge is up to date. We draw up a separate annual training plan for our colleagues. (3)
• We do not train them, many information can be found on the Internet, so that sometimes happens that we have to spend more energy on solving a problem. (2)
• I don’t know if they go to training courses, I trust, they train themselves. (1)

Are the payroll / social security administration processes optimized adequately within the company?

• There are some processes that we have already managed to optimize, but there is still more to be done. Besides our everyday work, we try to improve our work processes, but we progress slowly with it. (2)
• No, unfortunately, we did not have time to deal with it yet, but it has already been planned. We know where the points that need to be improved are, but currently we have more important challenges. (1)

How often does it happen that an error slips into the accounting or the payment of social security benefits?

• It has never happened yet, this is why we train our colleagues and improve our processes constantly. (3)
• Unfortunately, it has happened once or twice, but we trust that it will not happen again. (2)
