Tips for efficient personnel administration

by Marie-Laure Dekeyzer

Social legislation and personnel administration are constantly evolving. Just when employers think they have mastered the new regulations, a new government agreement introduces a series of changes. Efficient personnel administration is becoming more important than ever. Here are some practical tips to help optimize your processes.

A dedicated point of contact

Smooth and accurate payroll administration starts with a dedicated point of contact who knows all about your specific situation. An experienced advisor can provide tailor-made advice, suggest tools that fit your company's needs, and proactively think along with you about optimizations in payroll processing or cost structure.

Use an annual calendar

Certain payroll-related obligations recur every year, such as holiday pay, year-end bonuses, determining collective leave days, and/or substitute public holidays. By incorporating these events into an annual calendar, you can avoid last-minute administration and ensure you are prepared for the year ahead.

A clear calendar can also be useful for employees, as it informs them exactly when certain payments and leave days occur and when action is required from their side. This reduces the number of questions directed at your HR department and ensures a smoother information flow within your company.

Make your data tangible

HR and payroll administration are not always easy to quantify, or fit into fixed frameworks. However, data analysis can make this more concrete and help with strategic decision-making within your company.

Our payroll tool offers numerous standard reports that provide useful overviews within seconds—for example, of wage costs, guaranteed wages, or absences. Using automated reports, you can quickly and easily identify trends and take timely action.

Rely on experts

Personnel administration involves much more than just payroll processing, and every company has its own unique characteristics. Situations such as dismissal for urgent reasons, performance evaluations, contract changes, international employment, or flexible work schedules all require tailored solutions.
At Vandelanotte, we support employers in efficiently and legally handling complex cases—so you can focus on what truly matters: the growth and development of your business.
