What Makes Affordable Outsource Payroll Services?

We have all heard of outsourced payroll services, of course. You hire a company to take over everything to do with payroll, for your business – leaving you more time free to concentrate on actually promoting your business. So far so good – but if the price of those outsourced payroll services is too great, then the whole deal becomes less like a good opportunity and more like an unnecessary expense. So what makes affordable outsource payroll services?

Whenever you spend money, as a business, you have to make a calculation. The calculation is really a modern version of that old school accounting cost benefit analysis, and it goes something like this. If I spend this much on this service, how much money would I have saved? Or, in other terms: Would it have cost me more to do my payroll for myself, than it does to pay someone else to do it for me?
In order for a payroll service to be affordable, it has to cost you less money than doing payroll for yourself would have done. The first calculation you have to make, before you can answer the question what makes affordable outsource payroll services, is this one. How much money am I losing by having one of my own staff member do payroll for me?
Calculations based on how much theoretical money you are losing, as a business, because an employee is doing one thing when she could be doing another, are never exact: but they do give you a good idea. In this case, you are losing money wherever your employee is engaged in doing something that doesn’t directly make money for your business: i.e., payroll. That’s because if she were doing something directly related to promoting your business, your business would be making more money than it currently does.

Affordable outsource payroll services free this employee up to do some of that work. But what if the cost of employing a payroll service outstrips the amount of money that she earns for you?
This is, of course, very unlikely to happen. The average fee of a genuinely good outsourced payroll service amounts to much less than you spend on the wages of your in house payroll employee (or employees, in which case you are losing even more money): and the service you get for your money is worth much more to you than the in house payroll service you have been used to.

See, it is not just the freed up time of your own employees that makes affordable outsource payroll services a good idea. The actual quality of payroll backup you receive, when you switch to an outsource company, is measurably better.

On a basic level, simple numbers make the service more helpful to you. There is always a payroll employee to step in, if you need more help. In house, you only have finite resources. Plus, of course, you get dedicated account managers and problem resolution experts and so on. Using an affordable outsource payroll services company is more than just switching off your in house payroll: it’s about getting a much wider service and saving money at the same time.
