CloudPay Releases APAC Payroll Efficiency Index

CloudPay has announced the publication of its Asia-Pacific (APAC) Payroll Efficiency Index (PEI) that  examines payroll processes of the 15 highest-volume countries in the region, sourcing anonymized data directly from CloudPay’s unified payroll platform.

Accounting for nearly 60% of the world’s population and spanning 11 time zones and two continents, APAC, according to the company, presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities for multinational companies. The PEI report considers such implications using five key metrics to explore APAC payroll processing and provide insight into outcomes, bottlenecks, breakdowns, and areas of improvement that might otherwise be missed. The report includes the following: first-time approvals, data input issues, issues per 1,000 pay slips, payroll calendar length, and more.

“This year’s APAC Payroll Efficiency Index provides detailed information about critical differences that multinational companies need to understand and overcome when processing payroll here,” said Paul Bartlett, CEO of CloudPay. “APAC is a highly dynamic, diverse region, with three of the world’s top 10 economies and several others emerging. It takes local expertise and global technology to support this fast-growing region and its workforce.”
