Payroll sits at the intersection of finance, compliance, technology, and people’s livelihoods. Small decisions can have outsized consequences for employers, payroll providers, and the millions of workers who depend on accurate and timely pay.
To help elevate the critical payroll function, we’re launching the Payroll Advisory Council, a group of experienced payroll leaders, operators, and industry experts. Through our 30x30 network and other channels, they’ll offer real-world guidance on the evolving challenges and opportunities facing modern payroll.
Why we created the Payroll Advisory Council
Payroll doesn’t operate in a vacuum. It’s shaped by regulations, legacy systems, workforce needs, and ever-changing expectations. We built the council to ensure Chime Workplace is guided by payroll professionals who live those complexities every day, and to give practitioners a stronger voice in the tools and technology built for them.
The council will provide perspective on:
Operational and compliance realities across the payroll ecosystem
Trends and challenges shaping the future of payroll
Real-world edge cases and failure points that are often overlooked
Who’s on the council
Members of the Payroll Advisory Council bring deep experience across payroll operations, workforce payments, compliance, and payroll tech. From hands-on payroll executives to strategic leaders and published authors, they reflect the diversity of today’s payroll landscape.
All members participate in a personal capacity, offering insight and expertise, not representing a specific company or solution.

How the council works
The council meets quarterly to review product ideas, share feedback, and weigh in on industry developments. This isn’t just symbolic. It’s designed to be a high-impact partnership, one that helps shape real decisions and product direction.
Council insights will also help power the 30x30 movement, ensuring payroll professionals stay connected, informed, and equipped for the future.
Looking ahead
Payroll is where financial systems meet real people. Getting it right takes more than tech, it takes insight from the people doing the work. The Payroll Advisory Council brings that insight to the table and ensures we keep building with empathy, accountability, and precision.
We’re excited to learn from the council, and to share more as the work unfolds.
