As HR outsourcing becomes more popular, companies are seeking options that relieve more of their burden than just HR, such as payroll processing, benefit administration, and training & development. With the intricate tax laws, complex regulations, and rigorous reporting requirements of today’s working world, there are numerous benefits and advantages to outsourcing payroll in addition to HR functions, including:

  • Ensuring your payroll is never delayed or complicated by employee absences or departures
  • Accessing the latest payroll technologies without costly software upgrades
  • Reducing risks of fines, penalties, and angry employees by using an accountable provider, who will take responsibility for accuracy and compliance

When looking for the right fit for your company, what should you consider?

  • Will they save you money? How can you reduce costs without sacrificing quality? While the majority of cost savings come from the salaries and benefits for HR and payroll positions, you will also save on administrative and operational costs for those additional staff. The Outsourcing Institute found that companies who outsource payroll and HR averaged 9% cost savings for those functions.
  • Will they save you time? Will you and your staff find better ways to use the time currently spent on inefficient payroll and tax preparation, and other administrative tasks? A Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) survey of hundreds of companies found that of those who outsource HR, 23% do it to better focus on their business strategy, and to avoid spreading themselves too thin with administrative tasks.
  • Will they save you frustration? Many companies have had unsuccessful or unhappy experiences with certain payroll providers. HR Knowledge prides itself on ‘concierge-level service’, assigning each client a cohesive team of experts who make sure the client remains satisfied.
  • Will you have access to the latest technologies? When you outsource your payroll, your provider should be able to offer you technology that moves you to a paperless environment backed by a powerful Human Resource Information System (HRIS) software.
