Payroll Audit

Payroll is one of HR’s greatest responsibilities — and one of its largest costs. Mistakes can lead to financial losses, labor risks, and rework.

With Bernhoeft, you benefit from a complete and continuous payroll audit that ensures process accuracy and gives your operation greater peace of mind.

Our team performs a technical review of your data, identifies inconsistencies, advises on corrective actions, and delivers clear reports with strategic, actionable insights.

Frequently asked questions

How does Bernhoeft’s payroll audit service work?

We begin by thoroughly mapping your payroll structure — including roles, work schedules, payroll events, contributions, and benefits.

Next, we cross-reference this data with legal frameworks, collective agreements, and operational records (such as time tracking and benefits).

The analysis covers calculation accuracy, exception handling, tax compliance, and reporting obligations.

At the end of the process, we deliver a detailed technical report outlining risks and providing clear, practical recommendations for correction or prevention.

What sets Bernhoeft’s payroll audit apart?

 

  • A strategic approach fully integrated with other services (payroll, time tracking, legal calculations, and labor consulting)
  • Consultative support with customized, actionable recommendations
  • Highly qualified technical specialists
  • Ongoing support, including regular review meetings and “Coffee with the Client” sessions
  • Focus on reducing labor risks and strengthening HR governance

This service goes beyond compliance — it promotes security, operational efficiency, and continuous improvement across your people management processes.

What areas are evaluated during the payroll audit?

We assess a wide range of elements: employee records, fixed and variable pay items, overtime and legal premiums, deductions, social security and labor charges, and compliance with ancillary obligations.

We also review the alignment between your internal policies and applicable collective agreements or labor laws.

When combined with time tracking and benefits management, the audit becomes even more accurate and comprehensive.
