Standardizing Multi-Entity Payroll for Operational Efficiency
PRIME Business Advisory Solutions supported IMTT, a bulk liquids logistics company, in standardizing payroll policies across multiple legal entities. By evaluating current practices and advising on best-in-class standards, PRIME helped IMTT identify a unified approach that improved payroll accuracy, fairness, and operational efficiency.
The Challenge: Disparate Payroll Across Multiple Entities
IMTT, a leading bulk liquids storage and logistics company, needed to standardize payroll across multiple legal entities with over 700 employees. Inconsistent payroll practices created risks to accuracy, fairness, and compliance. Aligning payroll before an ERP migration was critical to ensure operational continuity and workforce confidence.
The Solution: Payroll Policy Evaluation & Advisory Support
PRIME Business Advisory Solutions conducted a detailed evaluation of IMTT’s payroll practices and advised the HR team on recommended best-practice standards. While IMTT’s HR department led implementation and change communication efforts internally, PRIME’s advisory role ensured the new structure would support fairness, consistency, and operational goals ahead of the ERP rollout.
Challenges
- Inconsistent Payroll Policies: While all legal entities shared the same payroll system, policies varied around time-off, bonuses, and even workweek schedules.
- Employee Impact Risks: Unifying policies across entities risked confusion and dissatisfaction without thoughtful planning.
- Tight Implementation Timeline: Payroll alignment needed to be finalized prior to the ERP migration, requiring a focused timeline with no room for delays.
