Payroll Model

Payroll Model refers to the structure and framework an organization uses to deliver payroll services across its workforce. It encompasses the operating model (centralized, decentralized, or hybrid), service delivery approach (in-house, outsourced, or shared services), enabling technologies, governance mechanisms, and geographic coverage. A well-defined payroll model ensures scalability, compliance, efficiency, and a positive employee experience. At The Hackett Group®, organizations assess and optimize their payroll model using benchmarking insights, best practices, and digital enablers to align with business strategy. The right payroll model supports consistent global operations while adapting to local regulatory requirements and workforce needs.
