Is it Possible to Save Money on Outsourcing?

Given the broad range of prices, you may be wondering if there are any ways to reduce payroll costs. The desire for less expensive alternatives has fueled the rise in popularity of Do-It-Yourself (DIY) online payroll software.

The savings come from you, the employer, taking on more responsibilities in the payroll process, such as personnel management, payroll detail entry, and report generation. These solutions are also paperless, so you can save fees associated with check delivery by paying your staff using other means such as direct deposit.

If you’re comfortable with web- or mobile-based systems and have little involvement with your provider, the DIY option can be a great way to save money for many firms. It’s also useful if your payroll company’s hours of operation make dealing with them during regular business hours difficult, and you’d rather do payroll before or after they open.

But it’s also vital to realize that there are some things you’ll have to give up if you go this route.

For example, if you require some level of support or help, many software solutions do not provide this as a feature. So, if you desire a connection with your vendor or the possibility of a call-in/call-out service, a payroll firm that enables you to just record your employees’ hours and they handle the rest may be a better fit.
