Pros

Some good people on the ground.

Cons

Top heavy org structure, lots of ‘execs’ that come and go with no notice. Ineffectual leadership of UK payroll department, dept head takes little to do with staff. Unpaid overtime. Attitude that work should be done no matter how many additional (free) hours you need to do it, management don’t care. Workloads are too high, everyone over resourced so no available cover if anyone goes off sick/on holiday/leaves.

activpayroll Response

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We recognise that people are our greatest asset, so it is important that we keep engaged with the positives and the negatives that people experience with us. While company growth is positive for all of us, we appreciate that this can also bring new challenges which we are working hard to support everyone with. We are always keen to hear any feedback that our colleagues have either through our regular employee surveys, or via team channels to identify potentials solutions and areas where we can improve this.
