Payroll gets noticed when it goes wrong. That’s about it. Which is a strange way to treat the function that pays everybody.
I’m Nick Day. Twenty years recruiting payroll professionals means I’ve had the same conversation hundreds of times, with people who were brilliant at the job and invisible in the business. The Payroll Podcast started because I wanted to know why that keeps happening, and what the ones who broke out of it did differently.
Every week I sit down with payroll leaders, global payroll operators, payroll technology founders and compliance specialists. We get into UK payroll and international payroll legislation that lands with three weeks’ notice. Fiscal drag, and what it quietly does to the people you pay. Pay transparency, AI legislation, earned wage access, salary administration, payroll AI tools and the payroll software everyone is being sold. Payroll system implementations that went sideways, and what was learned on the way out.
Careers come up constantly. What it takes to move from running payroll to being asked your opinion before the decision gets made.
And because I run a payroll recruitment agency, a fair amount of the conversation lands on hiring. Salary administration across a global workforce. Staff wellbeing in payroll teams that carry more risk than anyone above them realises. Should companies hire a Chief Payroll Officer? What role should a payroll body play in supporting the payroll profession? Why do good payroll leaders leave?
No script, no polite version. Mostly it’s the conversation you’d have with someone who does your job, if you ever got the chance to sit down with them.
Four hundred episodes in, it’s still the payroll podcast more people subscribe to than any other. Which surprises me, given nobody thinks payroll is interesting until their pay is wrong.
