Episode 8 of DER PAYROLL PODCAST – ‘Smart HR – how AI enables better decisions’ – out now!

In episode #7 of the DER Payroll Podcast, my guest is Uwe Klappich, Cluster Lead for Payroll Technology at SD Worx. We talk about the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and innovations in payroll. Klappich, who is leading the development of a new in-house payroll software, explains how this technology can make work processes more efficient and what opportunities and challenges it presents for companies and payroll accountants.

Sabine Katzmair: Mr Klappich, do you personally already use AI applications such as ChatGPT or other tools in your daily work?

Uwe Klappich: Yes, definitely! I use ChatGPT and Gemini from Google, but only privately so far. AI tools like these are extremely practical for finding answers quickly, developing ideas and discovering alternative perspectives. Of course, it’s a bit more complicated when it comes to business data. Data privacy and security are very important, so I don’t use external AI applications for our company data yet. But I use AI almost every day in my personal life. The ability to ask questions and then tailor the answers to my needs is really helpful. For example, you can generate more polite or more detailed answers – this saves time and provides new ideas.
