Benefits of payroll outsourcing
A specialist payroll service staffed by experts often costs less than doing it in-house – why not get a quote for outsourcing your payroll?
The benefits are mainly due to the ever-changing requirements and the cost of the expertise and specialist software. And the efficiency of the process. And, the opportunity costs of having other people spend time on payroll.
Why use an outsourced payroll service?
People outsource payroll mostly for one of the following reasons:
Expertise
You simply don’t have or need an in-house payroll manager. Unless you run a very large and complex business, having payroll expertise in-house is not necessary. But you do need your payroll to be done accurately and on time by a specialist. When you add RTI submissions and pensions, this becomes critical.
Specialism
If someone has payroll as one of their many responsibilities, it’s unlikely to be the most efficient method. They might be running payroll once a week or once a month. Taking them away from other tasks to do this as a non-specialist is likely bad for them and the business.
Costs
Specialist software, updating and supporting that, keeping up with changes, and financial penalties for getting it wrong.
Assurance
Capacity
What if there are enquiries from staff? HMRC? Auditors? Having an outsourced provider with all of the payroll information to hand is valuable.
