Case Study: Cognizant improves payroll speed, control, and compliance with Workday Payroll for Australia

Cognizant cuts payroll processing time from 9 days to 2 with Workday

Cognizant, a strategic partner and customer of Workday, faced the challenge of managing highly complex payroll obligations in Australia. The intricate legislation, such as Single Touch Payroll, made the process time-consuming and fraught with the risk of severe penalties. This complexity had previously forced Cognizant to outsource its payroll operations.

By implementing Workday Payroll for Australia, Cognizant brought the process back in-house. The solution from Workday automated calculations and integrated with other systems like HCM and Time Tracking. This allowed the payroll team to reduce processing time from nine days to just two, eliminated the need for mid-pay run closures, and improved overall accuracy. The team at Workday provided the tools for Cognizant to regain control, reduce manual work, and establish a foundation for using AI to further enhance compliance.
