Feedback
I have always found the GPA events to be extremely informative with high quality speakers covering key topics, great networking opportunities and fantastic value for money too!”
A great day and so good to have so many payroll professionals under one roof! As always the speakers gave a very good overview as to what is going on in the real payroll world
The GPA team were very helpful, professional and welcoming. This really made the day most very enjoyable as well as being informative. The setting for the venue was well-chosen for getting there and the meetings were well-organised and structured. There was something for everyone concerned with the complexities and issues in payroll both in the UK and globally, thank you GPA!

A Tale of Two Journeys: How to be Best Prepared for Success in a Global Payroll Consolidation
Global payroll consolidation is a topic on the minds of many organizations and payroll teams, but not all are truly ready to go on this journey. Teams must have a deep understanding of their reasons for global consolidation before going to market for a new solution and they must ensure alignment of strategy between their department and the broader business. This session will guide attendees on articulating the desires of their future state, shape requirements for a new payroll solution and undergo the process of transforming their processes and technology on a global scale. We will tell the tale of two organizations who began on similar journeys and encountered with very different experiences – one who got it very right and the other who encountered pitfalls all along the way.
During this session, you will learn –
- Reasons to go to market for a new solution and what needs to be in place before you do
- The factors that contributed to the success and to failure
- A roadmap for the success of your consolidation project

What Is Payroll?
In this interactive session, we'll discuss the key question of what is payroll? What is a payroll issue, and what isn't? What is payroll now vs what it used to be and certainly vs what it is likely to be in the future. We'll delve into technology, payroll management, tax treatments and implications, payroll reporting, and data analysis - at least! We'll start by unpacking some of the nuances of Irish enhanced reporting requirements, including discussing the key stakeholders who should be involved in this process for organisation. Join us for a practical, inspiring, discussion on the essentials of payroll.
