A large percentage of small and medium sized businesses outsource their payroll to a payroll service and it’s no wonder why.

 

Obvious Reasons Businesses Invest in Outsourcing Payroll

Having Less Employees- having payroll in-house means more employees to pay, give insurance to and find space for Office expense of extra paper, stamps, envelopes, computers, etc. Time- running your business is hard enough, let alone the time it takes to organize payroll and make sure it’s accurate, taxes and dealing with vacations, benefits and schedules.

 

Other Reasons Businesses are Taking Advantage of Outsourcing Payroll

Legality- a business can outsource all of the human resource related issues to another company, including legal responsibilities and other administrative responsibilities like worker’s comp which allows more time for a small business to do what they do best- run their business. Outsourced payroll services are offering more than small businesses expect such as 401k and excellent benefit packages. Outsourced payroll services absorb the liability risk if there should be a payroll mistake. Having a payroll service file business taxes and IRS reports can not only save time but eliminate costly penalties by errors done by a small business. Several time and money saving reasons including cost of payroll software, training and all the time researching tax and necessary IRS information can dwindle away countless hours that could have been productively spent on creating a profit while you focused on your own business- not the human resource details.

 

Most small businesses who invest in outsourcing payroll enjoy the option of providing better benefits to their employees verses the benefits they would have been able to provide- if any at all. Outsourced payroll services deal with hundreds if not thousands of businesses so they are able to give great rates on 401k plans, health, dental and vision benefits because of their size. Also, businesses save money by outsourcing instead of thinking they would save money by doing it in-house. Businesses also use the time they would have spent on processing payroll on creating more of a profit because they are using their time to focus on their business and make money, not watching it slip through their fingers on expensive computers and payroll software.
