What are the benefits to using payroll software?

Doing payroll manually gives you complete control of your payroll, however, it increases the risk of incorrect paychecks, tax and compliance issues, and a loss of productivity. There are many benefits to using payroll software, some of the benefits include;

• Time: Manually processing payroll can be a long process, by using payroll software you can run payroll in a matter of minutes, while by hand it will take hours.
• Money: Using payroll software can help save money by helping you stay compliant using trusted advisors and compliance checks and by fixing payroll processing errors, helping to avoid costly fees and overhead cost.
• Accuracy: Calculating payroll by hand leaves a large margin of error. Tracking time worked and multiplying it by wage, taking out proper payroll tax deduction based on location, then manually calculating other deductions can not only take time but leave a large chance for errors.
• Employee Empowerment: Whether your employees are remote or on-site there is a growing need for employees to have access to important documents and their pay history. Payroll software can help give employees access at their fingertips.
• Compliance: It can be difficult to manage complex tax regulations, minimum wage compliance, overtime compliance, and IRS compliance. Payroll software not only simplifies payroll tax deductions, but payroll software also comes with customer support to help guide you through regulatory changes.

How much does payroll software typically cost?

Payroll providers have a variety of packages you can choose from to suit your business needs. The packages range from lower-tier packages that cover basic payroll functions to top-tier packages that handle more advanced functions. There are a few additional costs that seem to be consistent for most payroll providers including; implementation, customer support, or maintenance.

The most common model is a per-employee/per-month subscription plan. You pay to access the software, and then you pay a fee for each employee every month. The next type of subscription plan is one popular with smaller businesses, the per-month subscription plan you pay just one flat fee per month, no matter the number of employees you have.

No matter which package is suited for your business, keep in mind that outsourcing payroll can still be a more cost-effective option than manual payroll.

How to choose the right payroll software?

It is important that the payroll software you choose supports your business needs.

Evaluate your business needs.

Before searching for payroll software, it is important to understand the exact opportunities you are looking to solve. Having this foundation will help guide you to make the best decision for your business when choosing a payroll software provider.

• Consider your company headcount, depending on the size of your organization there may not be a need to use payroll software. The more you continue to grow and scale, the increases need to ensure accuracy and timely payroll processing. Your company headcount may also show how much configuration you need from your payroll provider.
• Understand your budget, there are many payroll providers on the market, and it may help to narrow down that list by setting a budget.
• Payroll compliance can become more complex to fit your unique business needs. For example, if you have employees across different states then payroll taxes become complex because they may be different depending on what state or city your employee lives in. You want to understand the unique payroll needs that are time-consuming, this can help you to find a solution that takes a task that is normally daunting task, and make it easy.
• Understand your employees’ needs, the pandemic has changed the workforce in many ways. Employees are looking for more from their employers, and your payroll software can help in retaining employees. Your employees may be seeking a company that provides earned wage access to feel comfortable in the current economic state, or maybe your employees are looking for a company that has performance management software so they can professionally develop. No matter what your employees need, payroll software can benefit not only the employer, but the employee as well.

Do your research.

There are many payroll software providers that have a long history in the industry, and as the need for cloud-based software increases, there are software providers that have entered the market. Although product offerings may seem the same across platforms, there are key differences that set providers apart.

• It is important to do your research to understand what key industries a payroll provider may specialize in. Every industry has unique needs, you want to ensure your payroll provider can maintain compliance in your industry and that the software is configurable to fit your needs.
• Understand what company size the provider has success supporting. If you are a small-sized organization, you may not want payroll software that is used by large-sized businesses, they may have extra features you do not need or may not be a cost-effective solution.
• It can be helpful to understand your peer’s experience using the software, customer reviews can give you a feel for how the payroll software performs. Reviews provide feedback from real people who have real experience using the software to help support their business needs.
• Compare package offerings. Once you understand your business needs you will understand what features you need most for your budget. With so many different options for payroll software packages, add-on features, and stand-alone options, pricing can get very tricky.
• Be sure the software you choose can integrate with any existing products you already have, or you are looking to use for your business. Work with your IT team to ensure the software you choose is compatible with your business.
