Outsourcing your payroll and HR

Business creates some demanding situations for managing employee compliance. Whether you’re local or global, your payroll and HR needs can be a major administrative burden. Trying to do payroll and HR by remote control in multiple business environments can also be very problematic. It can also be costly in terms of time and use of business resources.

Outsourcing payroll and HR, the basics

Put simply, outsourcing payroll and HR is theoretically much like other types of outsourcing like IT outsourcing, but far more complex in so many ways.

Primary issues for outsourcing payroll and HR include:

• Basic business records management
• Information management and updates
• Multiple employment and payroll accounts compliance
• Equal opportunity obligations
• Potential employment dispute resolution
• Payroll obligations including tax
• Best practice HR solutions
• Training schedules
• Holidays
• Sick leave
• Employee entitlements
• Superannuation (401(k))
• Travel, expense accounts, fringe benefits management
• Work visa and permits

This is a very long, demanding shopping list of work for any business. Many modern businesses find that managing all these things in-house simply isn’t economic.

They’re right. Even with modern technology and expert organization, payroll and HR can be enormous additional workloads. Unforeseen situations can arise at any time. The net result is a dysfunctional, disruptive and expensive range of possibilities.
