How?
By outsourcing payroll processing.
Payroll is a tedious process that requires time and focus. Even with the simplest of payroll processing systems like Gusto, you may still find yourself overwhelmed and frustrated at the time spent working on it.
So let’s talk about five reasons you should outsource payroll processing.
Save Time
Payroll isn’t a one-and-done task. Instead, it’s ongoing, which means you dedicate time each month to completing this task.
Even if you only have a few employees, payroll can take a lot of time. And time is something that you, as a business owner, know is precious and valuable.
By outsourcing payroll you allow yourself extra time to focus on initiatives that grow your business instead of tasks that maintain it.
Reduce Errors
Have you ever accidentally paid an employee wrong? It isn’t fun and resolving the problem just takes more time. You can avoid miscalculation and accounting errors by hiring a pro!
You will be working alongside them and likely the platform they choose (such Gusto). By using a cloud-based platform and having a professional in charge of the process, you’ll greatly reduce the chance of errors.
Stay In Compliance
Taxes. That almost seems like it should be a bad word. With any business, you need to comply with local, state, and federal tax laws.
It can be extremely hard to keep up between federal, state, and local laws and regulations changing constantly. By choosing to outsource payroll, you won’t have to worry about keeping up with the changes; your payroll specialist will handle it!
Employee Self Service
By utilizing payroll platforms, you can offer your employees a way to see all of their payroll information.
They can request time off, see their hours, print their pay stubs, review their deductions, and more. They can also get access to their W-2s at the end of the year!
This also goes along with saving time! Giving employees access to their information will reduce the questions about this specific topic. They will have everything they need right there in one spot.
Stay Organized
You will be able to enter your employees’ schedules and track time off, sick days, and more with a payroll processing platform.
This is helpful because you won’t be caught short-handed on a day when multiple employees request off. You’ll be able to see and approve requests, allowing you time to re-arrange schedules when necessary.
Giving employees their requested time off is a huge win because it shows your employees that you care and value their time and dedication.
