NZPPA 1ST ANNUAL PAYROLL TECHNOLOGY SHOWCASE (VIRTUAL) 24 November 2022

The technology showcase is a new annual event so payroll practitioners and anyone involved in payroll can find out about the latest technology impacting on the payroll space.

Payroll technology is not about “keeping up with the joneses” or “change for change sake” it is about using technology effectively to add value to the payroll function, reduce cost, enhance compliance, create payroll best practice while always paying employees correctly and on time. Bottomline payroll manages a business-critical system and any use of new technology must not undermine but enhance this.

The aim of the technology showcase is not to sell software or show the latest trend or gimmick, it is to educate payroll practitioners so they can make informed decisions.

Areas that we plan to cover in the Technology Showcase (subject to change) are:

  1. Increased Use of Cloud Technology
  2. Embracing Artificial Intelligence
  3. Integration of HR Technology
  4. Increased Demand from the Gig Economy
  5. Financial Wellness Included in Your Package
  6. Pay Transparency

Please note: NZPPA does not sell payroll software, we are neutral.

The technology showcase is a half day (virtual) event from 9am to 12.30pm, on the 24 Nov 2022.
