Why Should Businesses Choose Payroll Outsourcing?

The importance of correctly managing employee payrolling, combined with the sheer complexity of state and federal regulations, has led many business owners and CEOs to choose payroll outsourcing. The reasons for payroll outsourcing usually vary depending on the company and workforce size. For many smaller businesses, the lack of resources to hire the necessary qualified and experienced payroll professionals is often cited.

In some cases, small business owners and managers have to do everything themselves spending countless hours processing and managing payroll. As a result, strategic growth initiatives that help businesses to grow like sales and marketing are not giving the necessary amount of time and attention they need to succeed.

In other cases, companies have been forced to delegate payroll responsibilities to employees who do not possess the necessary payroll expertise. Oftentimes these same employees are not up on all the latest rules and regulations relating to the confidentiality of employee salaries and other personal information. Finally, there often are additional expenses for software licenses or online services used in processing in-house payroll. 

How Payroll Outsourcing Works 

While business leaders are ultimately responsible for ensuring their employees get paid promptly and properly (and all appropriate taxes and financial distributions are made), employing payroll outsourcing such as that offered by TPG HR Services eliminates many of the day-to-day details involved in processing payroll. Once they collect and send their payroll data to the payroll outsourcing provider, they can rest assured that all of the further processing will be done accurately and in a timely manner. The payroll outsourcing provider will import the data, perform all the transactional processes, deliver the payroll output to the client, and send any necessary data to third parties such as the IRS or other governmental institutions. 

In addition, they can also answer any questions or provide a variety of statistical information based upon an analysis of this data, tailored to the specific needs of the business. This can be an invaluable tool when planning for future hiring and retention decisions in response to changing business conditions. Essentially, payroll outsourcing can give business leaders the time and the financial data necessary to make the best strategic decisions for their company’s future – a “win-win” situation for all involved. 

What to Look for in a Payroll Outsourcing Provider  

There are a variety of important factors to consider when choosing a payroll outsourcing provider with whom to partner. These include their expertise and experience, commitment to compliance safeguards and data protection, flexibility and personalization options, and cost-effectiveness. 

Expertise and experience 

As any business leader knows, the world of payroll processing has enumerable details that often change frequently with new laws and regulations on the federal, state, and local levels. When choosing a payroll outsourcing partner you need to be confident in their level of expertise and experience. This is particularly true for organizations that have operations or employees in different states or countries. At TPG HR Services our team of dedicated HR professionals continually keeps abreast of the latest regulations and available technology to deliver the most seamless payroll outsourcing experience to our clients. And, by having an entire team at your disposal, you don’t have to be concerned about covering for an internal “payroll person” when they take time off or leave unexpectedly. Your payroll will always be handled professionally and in a timely manner. 

Commitment to compliance safeguards and data protection 

Non-compliance with payroll-related regulations can be a very expensive and painful proposition for any company – especially small businesses with already stretched resources and budgets. As a small business owner, you simply can’t afford to risk outsourcing your payroll to a company in which you don’t have the highest level of trust in their compliance and data safeguarding procedures. At TPG HR Services we have clear and redundant procedures in place to guarantee your compliance with all relevant laws and regulations and the security of your sensitive employee information. In addition, by using an outside payroll provider, you don’t have to worry about internal employees having access to confidential employee information as part of the payrolling process. Many of our clients appreciate this aspect of payroll outsourcing from business leaders to “rank and file” employees who can be confident that their personal information is secure.
