In 2010, Friends of the Earth implemented Dataplan Payroll ePayslips to outsource and modernize its Payroll function.

Governance was structured around a managed service relationship, with Dataplan responsible for compliance, accuracy and monthly payroll runs rather than in house payroll execution.
