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?
