Payroll outsourcing – say goodbye to the stress of managing payroll

9th April 2018

Payroll is a high importance, legislation-riddled responsibility in any business, regardless of size or sector. You could have one employee or one thousand, be a farm or a factory; your staff still have to be paid accurately and on time, every time. Thousands of companies choose to either fully or partly outsource their payroll so that they can have all of the benefits of a flawless payroll department, minus the overheads and responsibility. Why stress over something that you can easily and affordably delegate to award-winning industry experts?

Here are a few key advantages to outsourcing your payroll:

Payroll errors are surprisingly common in businesses or all shapes and sizes. Keeping abreast of ever-changing tax codes, laws and legislation can take its toll, and the result of this is often employees who are wrongly paid or not paid on time. Many choose to outsource their payroll to a company that has the expertise and required processes in place to avoid errors of this nature.
The administrative side of payroll is time consuming, and many companies decide that this time can be better spent elsewhere. Maybe you will use it to focus on core business values, or to take the pressure off of a specific team, or to knuckle down on strategy, growth or development. The possibilities are endless.
You may find that outsourcing your payroll results in dramatic cost savings for your business, as you no longer have to employ a dedicated person or team for this task.
The data required to process payroll is confidential and sensitive. Especially with GDPR coming into effect on May 25^th 2018, many companies are questioning if they are confident that this data is compliant to UK laws and if the data is sufficiently protected. By outsourcing your payroll to a company with state of the art data security systems and world-class accreditations, you can rest assured that your data is safe.
