What makes employees the happiest?
Hi Nagarrians, it's been 45 days now since I joined Nagarro I was assigned a team at the time of joining but since then I am waiting for interview to take place. Is this normal procedure? Although from day 2 my project manager asked me to fill the timesheet corresponding to one project which is no billable. I am having concerns now as I don't know if this is normal ?

Payroll is processed by me (HR Manager) and one member of our accounting team. I handle any manual adjustments and make sure time/benefit deductions look correct. Accounting handles all the reports, journal entries, etc., basically all the money side of it. We do it this way (two person payroll team) to have two eyes on the process and to share the burden.
We usually have it housed under HR, feel like that's pretty standard in the US
Former HR consultant here…it’s a 50/50 split as to whether HR or Finance owns Payroll across the ~50 or so clients I’ve worked with. My current firm has it under Finance. I even worked with a client where Payroll was it’s own independent organization. There’s really no “right” vs “wrong” and there isn’t necessarily consistency across industry either.
I work at a company of about 120 in BC, Canada. Payroll is done by our accounting team, working closely with HR. I used to work at a company with 3000 employees in Canada, and Payroll had 2 employees that were a mini department on the HR team. Before that, a 500 person Western Canada company with a payroll and benefits specialist on the small HR team. This is one of those it depends questions, in terms of where the person with that skill set sits. However, this role can be quite consuming and needs someone with the right skill set, aptitude and interest. Can they fund a second HR person?
I hope we can convince the new finance head to leave well enough alone. 🤦🏻♀️
I’ve had it both in HR and Finance-was most effective in Finance when HR initiates pay changes then payroll processes-creates better internal controls which those in Finance should appreciate
I work for a large company in Massachusetts (100,000 people) payroll is a finance function but can be considered HR. Are they saying they want you to take the function or they want to lift and shift the entire department to be under an HR cost code?
