Abstract

The energy sector in Ukraine plays a strategic role in ensuring the country's energy security and supporting sustainable economic growth. Changes in this sector can have an impact on the lives of citizens and the economic sustainability of the country as a whole. In large energy companies, a separate service centre is responsible for payroll and payment processing, tax advice, IT and automation advice, and other services. It provides services to the corporate centre, operating companies and production enterprises within the holding. Therefore, the issue of automating payroll and social benefits is relevant for enterprises with a large number of separate divisions. In addition to the mandatory accruals and payments, energy companies may have special types of tangible and intangible remuneration, such as a grading system of remuneration, bonuses for innovation, social packages, etc., which should be reflected in the automated payroll and social benefits system. The article discusses two approaches to the automation of payroll and social benefits calculations using corporate systems SAP Payroll, SAP HCM, SAP ERP in combination with Microsoft Power BI, robotic business process automation tools and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macros. Automating payroll with SAP HCM and SAP ERP and using Visual Basic for Applications macros provides businesses with significant benefits, including increased efficiency and productivity; reduced risk of errors; improved data quality; and improved control and visibility. The combination of SAP ERP, robotic business process automation, and Microsoft Power BI analytics and visualisation tools allows for a visual assessment and analysis of deviations and errors in the available payroll data at energy companies. The proposed approaches were used to implement the payroll processing process, the sick leave management process, and the payroll verification process. The use of payroll and social benefits automation tools helps businesses identify any discrepancies in tax payments between different locations and cities. The visual map in Power BI gives an idea of changes in tax payments over time. Identifying inconsistencies in tax obligations helps energy companies correct errors, improve processes, and avoid financial risks.
