3Degrees Case Study

The search for one payroll solution for seven countries 

Jenny Chaney is the Associate Director of People Operations for 3Degrees, a global company that provides renewable energy and transports decarbonisation. Her role is all encompassing and includes HR and payroll operations. Receiving pay and benefits on time and in line with global compliance is central to Jenny's responsibilities overseeing seven country payrolls. But with expansion into the APAC region came multiple challenges that began to impact employee payroll operations that due to a lack of clarity, frustrated global employees and impacted business scalability.

activ8 integration supports local compliance

After a recommendation from workforce management solution UKG, 3Degrees tried several live demonstrations, eventually choosing acitvpayroll for its scalability. Integration began in June with a go-live date set for the entire payroll and HR system by August. The goal was to deliver one, streamlined payroll solution with standardised reporting. A team of global experts for all seven countries to alleviate administrative burdens, reduce pay inaccuracies and remove employee confusion was also a focus area for Jenny and her team.

activpayroll quickly transformed how 3Degrees handled people data, much to employee and staff satisfaction. Newly established payroll processes enabled consistent pay dates, simplified the management of payroll, and improved the employee experience with visibility, timely pay and tax accuracy. Complex global regulations were now able to be managed by a team of local experts and communicated through one payroll platform, helping 3Degrees to expand in APAC with sound confidence of legislation.
