Where does Payroll Belong?

This has been a question I have been asked ever since I began in payroll in 1977.  Does payroll report to human resources (personnel way back then) or to finance?  Where should the functionality and operations of payroll be housed? And it is not a questions with a simple answer.This age old question is the heart  of the APA’s next PayNewsChat on Thursday, December 8 at 3pm Eastern time. Dan Dycus, CPP, APA’s Senior Director of Education Services, and Jodi Parsons, CPP, Director of Payroll for the Kansas City Royals Baseball Club, will share their thoughts with you during this half-hour talk at #PayNews Chat. You can be of the conversation by using the chat portal Twubs or participate directly on Twitter by following along with #paynews and including the hashtag in your tweets.  Be a part of the conversation if you can.
