Choosing A Payroll Provider
There are several key points to consider when choosing a payroll provider:
• Speed. What turnaround time do they offer? If there are mistakes in your payroll, how quickly can they be corrected and re‐issued?
• Accuracy. You are still liable for paying your employees correctly, even if you outsource the processing.
• Ease of use. Tracking and updating employee information should be easy and quick for maximum efficiency.
Also important is customer service. Unlike some other business services, you will need to communicate regularly with your payroll provider, so make sure they have qualified personnel available to work with you. Speak with customer service reps to verify that you will be able to get the help you need. Consider requesting references from current clients to gain a better sense of the provider's level of customer service.
Finally, check that the company is bonded to ensure your company will not suffer from any potential financial mishandling.
