🤣Well, let's take a vote. Does payroll belong with HR or Accounting?

Payroll belongs to payroll. Isn’t it normal for most larger companies to have someone specially for payroll within their compensation team?

It depends on the company’s size. If the company is small, it is not uncommon for HR personnel to also do payroll.

I've seen different sized orgs do it differently. Small places usually stick it with HR or accounting based on team size. Medium to larger size places have a separate person or team handle it.

Ideally, I think it's handled separately with HR working with them on the people side of things and then accounting booking the entries and reconciling.

Well I don’t know… accounting is going to post the entry to the GL anyway, but they don’t need to deal with the “people” part of it like onboarding, pay rate changes, etc., I’d say it’s mostly an HR thing but accounting will ensure the #s are right in the end?

Organizationally it could be either and that’s fine but functionally needs to be operating somewhere between the two. To be effective and avoid burnout Payroll needs to stay out of managing employee data and also needs to stay out of Payroll accounting.

I wish it were accounting. It is always a headache when it's an HR role.

HR initiates changes and has the permanent files of EEs. Accounting makes the changes to the payroll systems and ensures every change has back up, every change order is initiated. HR advises and signs EEs up for benefits. Accounting makes sure deductions are made and they match the invoices from the insurance company. Duties must be segregated.

I once worked for a small company that didn’t have an HR department. I was responsible for the payroll and worked in the accounting department.

I’m a new analyst at an IB group. I’ve felt that I’ve done well my first month or two and delivered higher quality work, but I feel that lately I’ve been slipping up the past few weeks given the intensity of the deal as well as having multiple peripheral work streams. It also doesn’t help the second year analyst quit so I don’t necessarily have a resource to lean into. (Cont.)

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence
