The PayrollBADIes are In the House!

On this episode of HR & Payroll 2.0, Pete and Julie, welcome ‘The Payroll OG’ himself, Todd Acevedo of SAP SuccessFactors, and ‘The Payroll ATLien’ Imran Sajid of EPI-USE to the show to talk all things payroll! A couple of industry rock stars, together with Payroll BADIes crew, on a mission to put the swag in payroll (with the gold chains and track suits to prove it) and change how organizations think about payroll, its strategic value, and the professionals who power it! From the origins of the Payroll BADIes podcast and movement to the evolving role of payroll as a data-driven powerhouse in enterprise decision-making, Todd and Imran unpack the cultural, operational, and technological forces redefining the modern payroll landscape. Together, they explore why payroll is no longer a back-office function, but a mission-critical intelligence engine driving compliance, analytics, M&A readiness, and AI-powered service delivery across today’s global enterprises.
