Reduces Cost
Having payroll staff in-house is often more expensive than using an outsourced payroll provider.
Time and Resources
Payroll processing inside your business is a time-consuming process for staff. Outsourcing payroll allows employers to concentrate on their core business and frees up the business owner, human resources or accounting personnel to work on other areas of the business.
Training
It can often be expensive to employ staff with the necessary training and expertise to operate a payroll system. Your payroll staff will also need to keep up to date with current legislation. Outsourcing to a trusted provider allows owners to effectively wash their hands of these worries.
Experience
Certain types of employment can lead to complicated payroll structures or scenarios. It pays to have a wealth of experience at your disposal which is something you are unlikely to have with a small in-house payroll department. A good payroll service provider will know all the ins and outs of payroll and current legislation.
Getting Payroll Right
Payroll is a thankless task. Errors are a common occurrence which can be painful, upsetting and stressful for all involved. A good payroll service provider is far less likely to make a serious error than your in-house staff, as you are paying them for their expertise, knowledge and checking procedures they have in place. It can also be difficult to find experienced payroll professionals as the role requires a lot more than just number crunching and requires a thorough knowledge of tax regulations, due-dates and changes in HMRC legislation.
Stress Free
Outsourcing payroll services can bring peace of mind to a business owner or manager. No headaches, no hassles, no stress, no worries – you are left to focus on running your business. Processing payroll is more than calculating numbers and issuing payslips. Payroll hides an intricate web of legislation and tax regulations under its sleeve, so don’t be fooled into thinking that anyone can do it.
So…….to outsource or to not outsource
The benefits for businesses to outsource payroll go far beyond a simple cost reducing exercise. A fully outsourced payroll will allow you to free up valuable resources that can be redirected elsewhere as well as reduce the risk of penalties from HMRC for non-compliance or late submissions. You will have the comfort knowing your payroll is being handled by fully trained and experienced payroll professionals and reducing your stress or worries about ensure you are compliant.
