Making the Most of Outsourced Payroll

Posted On : Jan-30-2012 | seen (1070) times | Article Word Count : 550 |

Outsourced Payroll is a way to save on operation costs, as well the time and energy of your staff. Having a payroll service provider also helps you simplify your business process while reaping several benefits.

One of the most obvious advantages of hiring a payroll service provider is that you save time that you would otherwise spend on payroll processes. Handing it over to experts who can, aside from process the payroll, calculate withholding and other taxes, prepare and send out all related forms on employee salary, cut and send out paychecks; and provide answers to employees’ questions about the payroll. You then get to focus your energy on other important aspects of your organization like sales, customer service, thinking of ways to improve your business operations and product launches, to name a few.

Saving on operation costs is one of the reasons businesses, particularly small businesses, prefer outsourced payroll. Employee hours spent on processes involved with payroll do add up and often, they end up costing more than what it would take it to have a service provider handle the payroll. There are also additional costs brought on by having an in house team handle payroll: printing expenses, for example, as well paid employee time that would be spent on processing tax documents and check distribution.

Having a payroll service provider lets your company benefit from the accuracy, insight, reliability and experience of a well-trained team of payroll experts. You should also make sure that you get on time delivery. If you’re hiring a team of payroll experts with impressive training, experience and technical resources, you should expect topnotch payroll service and state this expectation clearly.

Your payroll service provider should be able to handle the responsibilities of managing the payroll, including all the paper work and processes involved. So if there are delays, mishandling and other problems arising from payroll issues, you won’t have the unenviable task of finding the cause of the problem, finding solutions and providing the most effective communication to explain to your employees what happened. These will be the responsibilities of your payroll service provider who would have enough skill and experience to provide solutions that are delivered in a timely manner. Make sure that your contract with your payroll service provider states this responsibility clearly. In most cases, companies even have the option to sue the service provider if they fail to provide solutions to the payroll problem.

The keyword here, of course, is “experts.” Find the service provider that can give you a reliable group – one that has the credentials, training, and impressive track record – and then you can stop worrying about payroll mistakes that can cause low morale and even government action against your company.

You can also stop worrying about delays that may be caused by extended holidays, long weekends, sick leaves and vacation leaves. Outsourced payroll leaves all that behind. Focus on the delivery dates and make sure that you get the most reliable and consistent service. Make sure your contract with the payroll service provider includes a specific clause allowing you to seek financial restitution in case the service provider commits errors in payroll processing.
