Building confidence in payroll systems migrations

After conducting over 110 large-scale payroll compliance audits, one pattern stands out: payroll system migrations are a major red flag for non-compliance.

Why? Because these projects are not just about switching software. They are about migrating data, classifications, and pay rules that may never have been accurate to begin with.

When historical errors are transferred without scrutiny, technical risks compound. Old issues become embedded in new systems, locking in compliance problems that inevitably resurface.

In this webinar with The Payroll Collective and Clayton Utz, we unpack the data-driven risks behind payroll system migrations, and how to identify and resolve them before go-live.
