What factors impact payroll cost?
Payroll software pricing depends on how frequently you run payroll, how many people you’re paying and how often you add or remove payees. Add-on services, such as HR support tools, will also affect the total price.
How can I save money on payroll services?
You can save money on payroll services by purchasing a package with only the services you require today and adding others as needed. Scalable payroll also eliminates the hassle of having to switch providers if you outgrow the original solution.
What if I increase or decrease the number of employees on my payroll plan?
Some payroll plans charge by the number of people paid each payroll cycle. As such, adding employees increases costs while removing employees decreases payroll prices.
Is doing your own payroll worth it?
Paying employees and filing taxes without the support of a payroll service provider can be challenging and time consuming. You also run the risk of costly penalties if you make any mistakes. For these reasons, many business find that partnering with a payroll provider is worth it for the added peace of mind it gives them.
How do I switch payroll providers?
Switching payroll providers requires the transfer of data and training. A high-quality provider will give you a clear and comprehensive list of all the information required for a timely and error-free transition. They should also supply digital learning tools, dedicated account resources and in-product demos to help you become proficient on your new payroll system.
