Purpose

The purpose of this document is to clarify how the payroll is to be processed for [COMPANY] ("the Client") if the Client is unable to complete their usual processes due to unforeseen circumstances. The overall objective is to ensure there is the least amount of disruption to employees and their pay. Note that this is only initiated as a last resort after the Client has exhausted all options internally. As our payroll is cloud based, the Client can submit payroll from anywhere even if they have no access to their own offices or own server. We encourage at Clients have an internal BCP in place that covers Payroll submission to Datacom based on different events that could occur. This is a standard BCP and the Client is welcome to make changes based on their requirements and Datacom will edit the document once both parties agree on the changes made

.

Deadlines

The success of the BCP will depend on when Datacom is notified that BCP is being actioned. As Datacom have other BAU duties to perform the below deadlines must be met to guarantee pay runs are finalised on time.

Time Restraints

Assumptions, Constraints and Risks

Assumptions

• The Client will send through Timesheet in the correct format from Time and Attendance provider if that is how the data is usually submitted to Datacom.
• Datacom will not process payroll indefinitely as this is only a BCP

Constraints

• Leave requests will be imported as they are (no adjustments
• Leave requests will only be processed if they have been approved.
• If client has already entered some changes online in payrun modifications, these will be actioned. However if any changes are not clearly understood my Datacom, these will not be processed.
• Reconciliations will not be completed by Datacom
• If the Client's current process is to upload the bank file themselves, the Client needs to have a plan for this in place and communicate to Datacom. Datacom can not process these bank files on behalf of the Client. If Datacom needs to email the bank file to an alternative authorised contact, this person must be provided as a contact in this BCP stating the role they will play.
