Why should I outsource my payroll?

Payroll processing is essential to the success of any business and to the wellbeing of employees but it is also time-consuming, often plagued by errors and prone to non-compliance as regulations change. Because of this, outsourced payroll services are becoming an increasingly popular option.

By outsourcing your payroll, you:

  • Gain access to the specialist expertise of professionals who focus solely on payroll services
  • Benefit from advanced payroll technology, which harnesses automation to increase accuracy and efficiency and generate enhanced reporting
  • Can rest assured that your payroll is compliant with the latest legislation
  • Drive cost-efficiencies by not having to maintain your own in-house payroll function
  • Free yourself up from cumbersome administration to focus on your core business

Which types of companies benefit from outsourced payroll services?

Most companies benefit from outsourcing their payroll. We are increasingly seeing companies outsourcing their payroll as part of an internal restructure aimed at freeing up time to focus on growth and innovation.

Good payroll companies can also scale their offerings quickly, which is why payroll outsourcing is a popular choice for start-ups and fast-growth businesses. Payroll services such as ours do also provide essential infrastructure for businesses moving into the UK as well as essential knowledge for those unfamiliar with local regulations.

What should I look for in a new payroll provider?

Payroll is a critical area for any business so choosing a payroll provider is an important decision. When assessing payroll companies, consider the following:

  • Is this a reputable firm that you trust to take responsibility for your payroll?
  • Have you received an accurate quote? Unfortunately, hidden fees are common among less reputable payroll firms
  • Does a dedicated payroll staff member come as part of the service? They will operate as an extension of your team, which can make the world of difference to the service you receive
  • What kind of team structure does the payroll provider have? A payroll hierarchy usually means better quality control measures and a clear path for escalating issues if necessary
  • Are the payroll staff qualified? A CIPP (Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals) qualification is a good benchmark but experience counts too
