Payroll outsourcing FAQs

Why should I outsource my payroll?

The benefits of outsourcing payroll include:

  1. Save time
  2. Reduce costs
  3. Get industry-leading accuracy and precision
  4. Reduce risks, including compliance-related risk
  5. Stay compliant
  6. Access to experts
  7. More time to focus on core business activities

Processing payroll in-house can be complicated and time-consuming. The devil is in the details, and your internal teams need to grapple with ever-changing legislation to avoid possible censure, penalties or fines.

By outsourcing your payroll, you free your team from these responsibilities and risks. You leave your payroll processing in the expert hands of specialists with the expertise to ensure that your employees are paid accurately on time, every time, and in line with current legislation.

The result? Less risk and more time to focus on core activities, productivity and results.

Why do some employers choose to outsource their payroll duties?

There are many reasons to outsource payroll. Some employers want to save time and money, and not have to take on even more employees. Payroll is often handled by an HR department, which means they have less time to focus on legislative changes or getting accurate results. An outsourced payroll team is able to focus utterly on payroll.
