Types of payroll outsourcing companies
There are a number of service providers that you can tap for outsourcing company payroll. SMEs, firms, and even corporations rely on the services and expertise of specialist payroll companies, accountants, and bookkeepers. While there are those better at handling payrolls of small and medium-sized enterprises, others target big, multinational corporations. These are the two broad categories of payroll processing providers:
- DIY Service Provider
With this kind of payroll service, a business is required in maintaining employee records and recording the time and attendance of employees, while the payroll outsourcing companies in Dubai calculate the pay, taxes, and all other deductions to employee wages and reimbursements.
- Full-service Payroll Outsourcing Company
A full-service payroll outsourcing company can manage all aspects of company payroll, including the tough and complex aspects, but there’s a need for you to provide timely and easy access to timesheets (applicable for hourly workers), as well as notices of changes to employment terms.
What are the Steps to outsourcing company payroll?
Hiring the expertise of service providers in processing payroll is critical in effectively and efficiently running a business. To ensure you choose the provider that can meet your needs and requirements, follow these steps:
Step 1: Interview
Shortlist the payroll providers that offer services your business needs upfront. Then, ask them questions related to the following: turnaround; liability of the company for payroll mistakes; additional charges for changes and additions to employee payroll; annual or monthly fees; frequency of reports; accounting software used; customer service availability; and processes in securing employee and business data.
Step 2: Test Drive
You can assess the accuracy of the reporting of a payroll outsourcing company by requesting sample reports. If they are easy to understand and in the language you fully comprehend, plus they meet your requirements and expectations for running payroll processes, then you can move on to signing a contract with the service provider.
It is essential for you to hire a good service provider as its services will allow you to spend less time thinking and managing payroll, letting you focus on running your business.
