Benefits Of Outsourcing Payroll

You can manage your firm’s payroll in two ways. The first, more traditional method is to employ an in-house clerk and purchase dedicated payroll software. The challenges of this self-management route are:-

• It’s expensive: employee recruitment, salary and training fees can run into tens of thousands of pounds; not to mention the cost to purchase software and hardware for staff to use
• It consumes valuable desk space: with office rates at a premium, accommodating another employee is costly
• It’s a specialised role: your clerk must be up-to-date with all the latest payroll and pensions-related legislation; likewise your software should be RTI-ready, auto enrolment-compliant, HMRC-integrated, PAYE-recognised and Bacs-authorised
• It’s heavily regulated: there are, rightly, strict rules and regulations surrounding your employees’ salaries and auto enrolment pensions; getting it wrong could land you a hefty fine and damage your business’s reputation
• It’s highly confidential: there’s nothing more sensitive than your payroll data; your employees won’t thank you if their confidential salary details are leaked so information security’s paramount
• It’s subject to constant change: keeping on top of ever-changing legislation – such as shared parental leave, abolition of National Insurance for under 21s, real time information PAYE reporting and auto enrolment – takes some doing
• It’s time bound: not only do you have HMRC and The Pensions Regulator submission and staging dates to meet, you’ve also got to pay your workforce on time!
