SAP has announced the end of standard support for its payroll module integrated with SAP ERP HCM as of December 31, 2027. This deadline presents an opportunity to modernize payroll management tools and ensure continuity and compliance.
In this context, GPE (Gesper Payroll Engine), developed by Microtis, stands out as a modern and robust alternative specifically designed to meet the needs of Luxembourgish companies. Compatible with any HRIS, this engine offers an innovative and efficient solution that meets the expectations of HR professionals in Luxembourg. It not only overcomes the limitations of legacy payroll engines but also anticipates upcoming regulatory and technological changes while ensuring compliant and efficient payroll processes in Luxembourg.

Challenges Posed by Aging Payroll Engines
Aging payroll engines present several challenges for Luxembourgish businesses:
- Fragile compliance: Legacy solutions struggle to incorporate frequent legal updates in Luxembourg.
- Technological rigidity: Their inability to integrate with other HR tools leads to errors and fragmented data handling.
- Rising costs: Maintenance and manual corrections significantly strain budgets. These issues hinder HR teams and increase risks for businesses.
It’s worth noting that a 2023 sector study conducted in Luxembourg revealed that 58% of payroll errors stem from manual interventions or insufficiently automated processes.
Why Modernize?
Modernizing a payroll engine brings substantial benefits:
- Cost optimization: Upgrading only the payroll engine avoids the need to replace the entire HRIS.
- Risk reduction: Automation reduces errors caused by manual handling by up to 90%.
- Time savings: HR teams can focus on strategic tasks like talent management.
