HR Payment Practices: Marginal Improvement Seen as Average Score Rises From 80.4 to 82.0

The Comparison

Here's a data-driven look at HR payment practices in 2024 and 2025:

• 2024: A survey of 108 companies revealed an average payment practice score of 80.4 out of 100. This indicates a generally positive, but not outstanding, approach to HR payment processes across the examined organizations.
• 2025: Data from 91 companies shows a slight uptick, with the average score increasing to 82.0 out of 100. While the number of participating companies declined, the overall performance metric shows a move in a positive direction, albeit a small one.

What This Means

The 1.6-point increase, while positive, suggests only a marginal improvement in HR payment practices from 2024 to 2025. This minor shift could be attributed to various factors, including evolving HR technologies or increased attention to payment efficiency, but the impact appears limited based on the data. If you're dealing with late payments, consider using a late payment calculator to understand the potential financial impact.

In 2025, HR payment practices saw a marginal increase, reaching 82.0 compared to 80.4 in 2024.
