This can hinder the company’s day-to-day operations, especially in such a sensitive area as HR and payroll. The role of an external partner is to help the Client maintain operational efficiency, streamline processes, and ensure the continuity of critical business obligations.
Client profile from chemical industry
The Client is a Polish company belonging to an international capital group operating in the chemical industry sector. The company functions within an international organizational structure and conducts business activities in Poland, employing its own workforce under employment contracts. Cooperation with Grant Thornton has been ongoing for several years and includes support in both HR and payroll as well as accounting services.
Sudden changes in the management board structure
Following personnel changes within the company’s management board, it became apparent that the new board members had not received key information regarding HR and payroll matters. The individual responsible for this area and for communication with Grant Thornton’s Outsourcing Department ended their cooperation without transferring the necessary knowledge to their successors. As a result, the new management board assumed responsibility for the HR and payroll function without understanding how the process had previously been organized or which areas required particular attention. In this situation, Grant Thornton’s support was essential to quickly organize critical information, mitigate the risk of errors, and ensure continuity of ongoing services.
Proposed and implemented solutions in chemical industry
The team of experts from Grant Thornton’s Outsourcing Department helped the new management board quickly understand how the HR and payroll process operated and identified the key areas of risk. As a result, the Client was able to better assess the situation, prioritize actions, and ensure the safe continuation of ongoing services. A key element of the cooperation was explaining payroll processes and describing the input data used for calculating base salaries and employment regulations-based remuneration, ensuring that employees continued to receive their salaries on the established payment date.
In addition, the Grant Thornton team supported the onboarding of a new person responsible for HR and payroll communication ensuring the effective and proper functioning of these processes within the company.
Benefits for the Client from chemical industry
