Why Outsource Payroll?

Cost savings:

Outsourcing payroll can be a cost-effective solution for businesses of all sizes. By outsourcing, businesses can eliminate the need for in-house payroll staff and related expenses such as salaries, benefits, training, and overhead costs. Outsourcing payroll also reduces the risk of costly errors and penalties related to payroll tax compliance.

Compliance:

Payroll processing involves complex and ever-changing regulations, including tax laws, wage laws, and benefits regulations. Outsourcing payroll to a provider that specialises in compliance can help ensure that a business stays compliant with all applicable regulations, reducing the risk of penalties and legal issues.

Access to expertise:

Outsourcing payroll can provide access to specialized expertise that may not be available in-house. Providers can offer a range of services, from basic payroll processing to more complex HR functions such as employee benefits and compliance management.

Time savings:

Payroll processing can be a time-consuming task that requires significant attention to detail. Outsourcing payroll can free up time for business owners to focus on other critical aspects of the business.

Accuracy and reliability:

Outsourcing payroll to a provider that uses the latest technology and processes can help ensure that payroll is accurate and reliable. Providers also often have robust quality control measures in place to catch any errors or discrepancies before they become significant issues.

Scalability:

As a business grows and its payroll needs evolve, outsourcing payroll can help ensure that payroll processing can keep up with demand. Providers can often scale their services up or down depending on the needs of the business, allowing for flexibility and agility in payroll processing.

Reasons Why Australian
Businesses Outsource Payroll

Pay compliance

Australia has a complex myriad of laws governing employment at both a State & Territory and federal level that cover minimum pay rates, minimum terms and conditions, leave entitlements, public holidays, termination of employment, workers compensation, privacy, superannuation and taxation (including fringe benefits), jury duty and record keeping.

The Fair Work Act is the primary piece of legislation governing employment in Australia. The Fair Work Ombudsman is now targeting directors, HR professionals, payroll officers, accountants and franchisors to make them potentially liable to prosecution in the event of any contraventions of the Fair Work Act by their business or franchisees.

Outsourcing your payroll will give you access to specialised expertise to not only navigate pay compliance queries but also receive advice on best practice approaches in managing your payroll.

Better utilisation of technology

Businesses are often finding themselves subscribed to a number of different solutions for accounting, rostering, HR and payroll – or perhaps only using the basic payroll features within their existing accounting suite and therefore not gaining any additional value from product features that exist today in leading payroll and HR software systems.

Any change in technology also adds to implementation and training costs for your staff if running payroll internally – and the resistance to change is also greater.

Risk Management

Risks that need to be managed relate to security, fraud and key person loss. Payroll fraud costs businesses a lot of money and can arise in a number of different creative ways such as ghosting, inflating time or rates and redirecting funds.

Save time

Sensitive processes such as payroll management are procedures that add significant weight to a single person or team of people that already have their hands full. When you outsource payroll, it frees up your time to focus on the other responsibilities that come with running a business.

Save money

In addition to the costs associated with maintaining in-house payroll software, you also have the cost of financing in-house payroll resources (salaries and on-costs), ongoing training, administrative overheads and recruitment costs.

The latest payroll benchmarking report discovered that it costs the average business with under 200 employees $36.30 per payslip* to manage payroll in-house. Small businesses can save up to 75% of their payroll overhead costs** by outsourcing their payroll

What are the consequences of payroll errors?

There are typically only 3 things that contribute to errors in the payroll process – people, processes and technology. Highly skilled payroll professionals are very hard to attract and retain in Australia – they are in high demand. Most payroll mistakes are made because the person processing payroll lacks knowledge, skills and training.

Symptoms of poor payroll processes and systems that need improving include:

  • Employees and managers complain of errors and delays;
  • There is a significant amount of manual work involved;
  • Information is not easily accessible, and reporting does not provide any valuable insights; and
  • Frequent off-cycle payments are being made to fix errors.

 

If your payroll processes display any of these symptoms, it may be time to think about outsourcing your payroll. You can complete a self-service health check using Employment Innovations resources.

How to choose the right Outsourced Payroll partner

In 2018, it is estimated that 24.7% of all Australian businesses and 37.8% of Australian SMEs with less than 200 employees are now operating under an outsourced payroll model, up from 21.3% and 28% respectively in 2017*.

Choosing the right outsourced payroll provider for your business comes down to a few critical factors:

  • Expertise;
  • Proven track record;
  • Compliance focus;
  • Technology and features;
  • Reporting capabilities;
  • Integration options;
  • Access to services that drive long term partnerships and expansion with your business.
