5 benefits of payroll outsourcing services
Save time & money
Payroll can be very time consuming and, depending on the size of your business, could require you to hire multiple people to get the job done. Payroll outsourcing services not only negates the need for in-house, qualified payroll staff, but saves you time on small administrative tasks that all add up throughout the month.
Allowing payroll outsourcing services to take over your payroll function means that you don’t have to worry about the mammoth task of payroll, but your employees remain happy with accurate, timely wages and payslips.
Avoid penalties with HMRC
Payroll outsourcing services ensure that your payroll function is fully compliant, and minimises the risk of penalties from HMRC. Chartered accountants, like ARB Accountants, are fully up to date with current legislation surrounding payroll and pensions, meaning that less time is spent on head scratching, and more time is spent on your payroll function.
What’s more, we can also process pensions, bonuses, and other benefits during this time, ensuring regulatory compliance, accuracy, and speed.
Data security & GDPR compliance
Handling payroll in-house comes with a lot of risk due to the level of personal data required. You might think that having secure software removes this risk, however you must also consider the security of your network, servers, and whoever actually uses the software.
Quality payroll outsourcing services, like our Payroll Service at ARB Accountants, store personal data on highly secure servers, and are trained to handle sensitive data and personal information.
Improved accuracy & employee satisfaction
Payroll mistakes can be painful for everyone involved, but they usually hurt your employees the most. Outsourcing your payroll function to experienced accountants leaves no room for error, meaning that not only are your books accurate, but your employees are satisfied with accurate wages.
Speed
An in-house payroll function can take the entire month to process properly, depending on the size of your business. Outsourcing your payroll services to the experts speeds things along considerably, regardless of business size or payroll complexity, and doesn’t compromise regulatory compliance.
