⚠️ The Critical Validation Gap

72% of payroll migrations experience data conversion errors. Most teams don't discover these until after go-live, leading to incorrect paychecks, compliance violations, and £500K+ recovery costs. VeriDiff catches these errors during the safe pre-load phase when fixes are still possible.

Payroll Validation Process

Step-by-Step: How We Compare Your Payroll Data

1

Secure File Upload

Upload your legacy payroll extract and converted data files (Excel/CSV). Files are processed in your browser - no data leaves your device during assessment.

2

Smart Field Mapping

VeriDiff intelligently maps fields between legacy and converted formats. Recognizes common payroll field patterns like "Employee_ID" → "EmpID" or "Gross_Pay" → "Total_Earnings".

3

Payroll-Specific Validation Rules

Apply specialized validation: numerical tolerance for currency calculations, date format conversions, percentage calculations, and payroll-specific business rules.

4

Comprehensive Comparison

Employee-by-employee, field-by-field comparison identifying: missing employees, salary discrepancies, incorrect deductions, misaligned benefit elections, and calculation errors.

5

Executive Reporting

Generate detailed validation reports showing conversion accuracy, error counts by category, and risk assessment. Perfect for steering committee updates and go/no-go decisions.

Payroll-Specific Validation Algorithms

💰 Currency & Calculation Validation

  • Rounding Tolerance: Handles currency rounding differences (±$0.01)
  • Percentage Calculations: Validates tax rates, deduction percentages
  • YTD Accumulation: Verifies year-to-date totals and running balances
  • Cross-Field Validation: Gross pay = base + overtime + bonuses

🔗 Employee Record Matching

  • Multi-Key Matching: Employee ID, SSN, name + DOB combinations
  • Fuzzy Name Matching: Handles "John Smith" vs "Smith, John"
  • Terminated Employee Tracking: Ensures final pay accuracy
  • New Hire Detection: Identifies employees added during conversion

📅 Date & Time Processing

  • Format Conversion: MM/DD/YYYY ↔ DD-MM-YYYY ↔ ISO dates
  • Pay Period Alignment: Weekly, bi-weekly, monthly periods
  • Effective Date Validation: Salary changes, benefit elections
  • Accrual Period Matching: PTO accrual start/end dates
