Atlab’s interim support enhances Wicotec Kirkebjerg’s payroll operations

Intro

Amid rapid growth, Wicotec Kirkebjerg, a national provider of engineering contractors and services, recognised the need for more seamless operations and process initiatives that would support its payroll department.

 

With heavy workloads, tight deadlines and continuing business growth, the company sought a flexible solution to streamline its payroll processes, enhance efficiency, and support the payroll team with compliance and salary payouts.

Client

Wicotec Kirkebjerg

Project lead

Goals achieved

  • Optimised and streamlined processes and data flows for 1500 employees
  • Ensured compliance and accuracy of payroll operations
  • Implemented new reconciliation models for accurate salary payouts
  • Created scalable processes to support the company’s growth trajectory

The context

Boasting a workforce of 1500 employees and an annual turnover exceeding DKK 2.5 billion, Wicotec Kirkebjerg had its work cut out for them with the implementation of a new time registration system. If not done correctly, this would lead to discrepancies across the time registration, payroll, and ERP systems.

With an already busy team, Mikael Holmgreen, the payroll manager, reached out to Atlab for support. He wanted to create more transparency between the new systems, by streamlining the payroll process and making sure all regulatory requirements and reporting obligations would be met.

What we did

During this demanding period, Atlab provided support to the team by deploying tailored, skilled resources to address the specifics of their day-to-day challenges. With a plug-and-play approach, we seamlessly integrated into the payroll team, working with systems, processes and data analysis. Our role later expanded beyond task execution to interpreting regulations, implementing new agreements, and refining setups across the payroll domain.

 

From the client

“The support from Atlab has been transformative for our payroll administration. Their experience and hands-on approach was a great addition to the team. With Atlab’s assistance, we’ve been able to enhance efficiency and accuracy, ultimately creating a better work environment for our team”

 

– Mikael Holmgreen Jensen, Payroll Manager

Result

In close collaboration with the payroll team we managed to enhance the stability and efficiency of Wicotec’s payroll department.

This was accomplished by prioritizing several key areas: Conducting thorough analyses, implementing reconciliation models, improving transparency in data flows, and streamlining the payroll processes overall. Consequently, more sustainable solutions emerged, enabling the team to better manage peaking workloads instead of constantly battling fires. Ultimately, these initiatives also contributed to an improved working environment.
