Payroll: to Outsource or Not?

A smaller payroll management
company may best serve your
small business needs.
Today, small and mid-sized businesses have a wide spectrum of payroll options. On the one hand, you have in-house administrators who often employ payroll software to do the job. On the other, you find large, traditional payroll services—and a slew of smaller competitors vying for their piece of the outsourcing pie.

Can the big players meet the specialized needs of today's small and midsize businesses? Or is bringing payroll back in-house and using specialized software the best route for small to medium-sized businesses?

For a small business of around 10 people, sources have found that the cost of paying an outside agency to manage payroll, tax liabilities, documentation, and process the physical checks is less expensive than having an internal dedicated person.

Here are a few quick comparisons:

Benefits of outsourcing:

  • Improved compliance and accuracy
  • Time savings
  • Lower long-term costs for some businesses
Benefits of in-house:

  • Instant access to data
  • You may be doing most of the work anyway
  • Cheaper if business has under 10 people

State Business Tax Climate Index 2015

How does your state rank?
While taxes are a fact of life, not all tax systems are created equal. One measure, total taxes paid, is relevant, but other elements of a state tax system can also enhance or harm the competitiveness of a state’s business environment. This Index boils down fifty complicated state business tax systems into one easy-to-use ranking.

While there are many ways to show how much is collected in taxes by state governments, the Index is designed to show how well states structure their tax systems, and provides a road-map to improving these structures.

The index enables people to gauge how their states' tax systems compare.

Here is a highlight, which shows the five best and worst states in the index this year:

Best:

  1. Wyoming
  2. South Dakota
  3. Nevada
  4. Alaska
  5. Florida
Worst:
  1. New Jersey
  2. New York
  3. California
  4. Minnesota
  5. Vermont

Outsource Your Payroll and Reduce Costs for Your Expanding Small Business!

Save money for your growing
business by outsourcing payroll.
Consider the amount of time you and your employees spend on payroll-related activities. 

And don’t forget expenses such as the cost of printing checks, computer software, training and support. Outsourcing your payroll functions will most likely save you money because your payroll provider will handle all of these things for you.

Many professional payroll providers offer packages for small employers starting as low as $50 per month.

Aside from the obvious tremendous time-save to your business, you will also be able to:

  • Avoid IRS penalties.Penalties for errors, omissions or late payroll tax filings can be very costly. Many outsourced payroll providers will calculate payroll taxes, manage filings and payments and will assume the cost of penalties due to incorrect calculations or late payments so long as you provide the necessary information and funds on time. Keeping abreast of state, federal, local and industry-specific regulation changes can be at best a real challenge. A reputable outsourced payroll provider has a staff dedicated to keeping up to date on all of the changes that could affect your payroll, ensuring that you stay in compliance.
  • Expand payment methods.
    In addition to printing and shipping checks directly to your door, most payroll companies also offer the convenience and security of direct deposit services. Because pay is deposited directly into your employees’ accounts, having to put a stop payment on a lost paycheck and reissue it becomes a thing of the past. Many payroll providers also offer a paycard service for unbanked employees, usually at little or no cost to the employer.
  • Eliminate payroll pain and worry.
    With the help of a professional payroll service provider, the hassle and pain often associated with processing payroll is gone! You provide the basic information, and your payroll company takes care of the rest. And with guarantees of error-free payroll and tax filings and payments, you can eliminate the worry that many experience when it comes to paying employees and taxes correctly and on time.

Questions to Ask When You've Decided to Outsource Your Payroll

Make sure the Payroll Service you
choose responds quickly to your
questions and has excellent skills
regarding customer service.
While the majority of U.S. businesses process paychecks internally, this is not always cost-effective. At minimum, internal payroll processing requires the purchase of a computer or manual accounting program and extensive training to use it. In addition, businesses need to keep up to date on changes in personnel, deadlines, and tax requirements on an ongoing basis.

Using a payroll service generally makes sense if your payroll changes with each pay period. If your company has employees working varying amounts of hours each week or has a significant turnover rate, a payroll service can be a time-saving and cost-effective alternative to internal processing. Using a payroll service can also be helpful if you have to pay payroll taxes for multiple states.

If you have decided to outsource your payroll, here are some tips to help you hire someone:

Features

  •  What does your basic service include?
  •  How quickly can you re-run a payroll if there is a mistake?
  •  How long does the average client stay with you?


Tax filing

  •  If I use your tax filing service, do you cover the penalties and/or interest charges?
  •  Do you provide filing assistance for local taxes?
  •  What is the cost to file taxes for multiple states?


Charges

  •  What is the cost for your service for one year, including year-end W-2 forms?
  •  How long are these rates in effect? What rate increase should I expect after that?
  •  If there are payroll data mistakes, how long will it take to reconcile the errors and what will it cost?
