Welcome back to The Payroll Podcast! I’m your host, Nick Day, CEO of JGA Recruitment, and today we’re going to explore the fascinating future of payroll—more specifically, how payroll is “potentially” fundamentally broken and why therefore, embedded payroll could be the game-changer we’ve all been waiting for.
