Increased payroll accuracy to more than 99.9%

Cut off-cycle payments by 50%

Reduced paper-based payroll processing

Improved regulatory compliance

Land O¡¯Lakes¡¯ previous, on-premise payroll platform made payroll processing extremely difficult. All new hire and termination paperwork was manually entered. Compliance was a pain point, too.?

For example, the payroll team used to do paper entry of all W4 and direct-deposit data, plus any bonus and garnishment information. Manual processing of compliance audits was time-consuming and error-prone.

Before ²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµ, we used manual paper entry for W4, direct-deposit information, and bonuses.

A global payroll platform with strong support.?

A global company doing business in 50 countries, Land O¡¯Lakes found cloud-based ²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµ HCM and its Payroll Management module to be the ideal successor to its outdated, on-premise payroll system. It eliminated most manual operations, either by automating them, especially audits, or shifting them to an employee self-service portal. Examples of the latter include entry of W4 and direct-deposit information. Managers use the portal to make employee bonus payments.?

The new ²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµ payroll platform provides consistent regulatory updates to help ensure the company¡¯s compliance worldwide. ²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµ Community, an organization of other ²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµ users, strongly appealed to Land O¡¯Lakes because it offers a potent network of experience and expertise as well as substantial training and support. As an active participant, Land O¡¯Lakes can learn from others how to get the most from its new payroll platform.

Streamlines payroll processing.?

²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµ Payroll enabled Land O¡¯Lakes¡¯ payroll team to automate much of the payroll process, eliminating manual calculations and freeing the team¡¯s time. ¡°Year-end once was a nightmare. With ²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµ, we¡¯ve turned it into a complete non-event,¡± Payroll and Compliance Manager John Gardner says.?

In fact, his team boosted payroll accuracy to more than 99.9 percent, while decreasing off-cycle payments by 50 percent or more. The ²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµ platform also improved payroll data visibility with dashboards populated in real time, enhancing collaboration with other business units. In addition, the company dramatically reduced its use of paper with ²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµ, saving the environment, time, and errors.

Automates compliance audits.?

Smart Audits reduces the number of audits that Land O¡¯Lakes needs to run for review. Regulatory compliance is also better supported in ²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµ, helping the company proactively deal with the latest global payroll rules and regulations.?

The ²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµ team of dedicated experts are continuously monitoring and researching legislative updates, which are pushed out to all customers at once since everyone is on the same version of ²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµ. For example, in one year of operation, ²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµ delivered 510 U.S. compliance and regulatory updates¡ªaveraging nearly two each working day.?

These frequent updates help Land O¡¯Lakes stay ahead of global compliance. This way, the company can avoid mistakes in payroll auditing and accounting that could otherwise lead to non-compliance with regulations such as the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which governs minimum wage, overtime, and other payroll issues.

We¡¯ve run 100% remotely during the pandemic via ²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµ and couldn¡¯t have done so with an on-premise solution.

Supports secure remote access.?

From the start of pandemic-driven work-from-home mandates, the Land O¡¯Lakes payroll team could run payroll remotely and without a hitch using its cloud-based ²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµ solutions. ²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµ gives team members highly secure and anytime, anywhere access to all the payroll data needed to ensure paychecks and auto-deposits happen on time. According to Gardner, this capability was impossible with the company¡¯s previous on-premise system.
