Implement Accurate Salaries: Payroll Services for Small Business

Dealing with your business’s payroll can be challenging, especially when you’re a small business.

Payrolls don’t just stick around computing salaries for your employees and aligning them to their working hours. They are also concerned with managing employee benefits and leaves, maintaining records, and complying with taxes.

A survey shows that small businesses face 59% of payroll processing problems in keeping track of federal, state, and local compliance records.

When unsure, it is best to seek help from a payroll company. Pearl Lemon Accountants offers a payroll processing service that can relieve the burden of payroll and pension management and other associated compliance.

By outsourcing payroll services, you can focus on more things that matter.

Importance of Payroll Services for Small Business

Payroll Compliance

Employers must understand that labour laws, tax laws, and other laws affecting payroll processing are not set in stone. Laws and regulations can be amended, updated, revised, or repealed at any time.

In light of this, employers must remain vigilant in understanding their payroll obligations and anticipate when they may change.

It can be challenging for small business owners to stay on top of this, especially when they are focused on other aspects of the business. A payroll provider, on the other hand, can help. Employers no longer need to constantly monitor government announcements, thanks to the help of a payroll services provider.

The outsourced payroll provider will ensure that all payroll computations and processing tasks are fully aligned with the most recent application of labour law or “payroll law” and that their client companies are immediately notified of any changes or updates.

Payroll Tax Compliance

When you think of payroll tax compliance, you probably think of legislative changes and withholding calculations. Compliance causes headaches for even the most experienced payroll and HR professionals.

However, payroll taxes issues do not have to consume you. Payroll services can assist with payroll tax filing and compliance by ensuring required tax and other withholdings.

Enhanced Payroll System

When your business decides to use a payroll outsourcing system, it is critical that the person (or team) in charge of operating understands the system and is clear on what is required to ensure that it adds value to the company.

Ensure that the system is configured correctly to align with business operations, input the correct data, and that payroll is processed through the system under the necessary procedures. These tasks must be completed correctly.

A payroll service provider that provides end-to-end full service payroll can handle all of this, removing the need for your team to worry about data integrity, proper processing, or system functionality.

Leave it to the professionals!

Maintain Employer Compliance

Some business owners wonder about the need for written policies and procedures. They are part of the overall risk management of the company.

If you don’t spell out policies on progressive discipline, for example, and choose to fire an employee, you could face a lawsuit. While this is unusual, written policies and your ability to demonstrate compliance with these policies will ultimately protect you.

Your compliance standards, as well as your employee compliance standards, are risk management tools that can protect you from misunderstandings. Payroll services can help in developing employee handbooks with clear policies and procedures.

Reduced Risk

Another advantage of payroll services for small businesses is risk reduction. A small business owner may be unaware of all the payroll regulations they must follow. But outsourcing the services of an expert eliminates this problem.

The most common small business payroll mistakes include failing to pay employees on time, misclassifying workers, and failing to comply with federal and state wage and hour laws. Even the slightest payroll error can result in significant penalties.

Time-Saving

As previously stated, payroll and the associated tax preparation can consume significant time. Consider everything that goes into payroll management:

Pay calculation for each pay period
Payroll reports and payroll checks
End-of-the-year tax forms distribution and filing

And many more.

Not only does actively processing payroll take time but so does learning all of the associated laws and regulations. If an error occurs, it may take additional hours to go back and correct it.

Many payroll service providers have an online payroll platform that automates the payroll process and makes it available to your employees, saving them time. Your employees can access paystubs, manage their W-4s and direct deposit, and download W-2s at any time with a payroll platform.
