What Are The 3 Most Important Aspects Of Payroll?

• Payroll is a vital aspect of any businesss
  financial accounting, whether it be large or
  small, and it can affect every aspect of a
  business, too, from its financial stability, to
  the morale of its employees.
• Many companies deem payroll to be so important
  that they outsource it to a professional company,
  who go on to ensure that every aspect of it is
  carried out accurately and in a timely manner.
  Not only do they consider it to be a vital
  element of their business, but many business
  owners will happily hold their hands up and admit
  that they dont have the relevant experience and
  knowledge to be certain of complying with state
  and federal laws and other important aspects of
  payroll.

• Listed below are 3 of the most important aspects
  of payroll
• Taxes and deductions Recording pay and hours
  worked is just one element of a payroll system,
  other elements include recording deductions for
  benefits and tax purposes. There are many
  different deductions to be calculated, between
  federal and state taxes, social security,
  Medicare and benefit plans, and most payroll
  systems can be organised to accommodate the tax
  needs of each employee. A good payroll system
  should also calculate deductions obtained through
  pension and insurance plans. Making errors when
  determining which additions or deductions occur
  before or after calculations, can cause many
  problems for your employees. Outsourcing your
  payroll means that youll have a team of
  professionals or an

• individual who are highly knowledgeable in all
  these areas, and theyll ensure that all taxes
  and deductions are processed accurately.
• Timesheets While some employees may be
  non-exempt, others may be paid a salary or
  receive hourly compensation. Many companies offer
  web based or software systems to calculate
  payroll and billing time. Information regarding
  how many hours each employee has worked, can be
  recorded in a payroll system via an automated
  clock or manual timesheet. Keeping an accurate
  record of exactly how many hours each employee
  has worked, with an up to date payroll system, is
  the best way to avoid unnecessary costs and
  increase overall efficiency of the entire payroll
  system. A computer-generated timesheet will help
  minimize the amount of time administration staff
  have to spend reviewing and verifying the data.

• KPIs KPIs or key performance indicators are
  the ways in which you can recognise, measure and
  evaluate the success, or otherwise, of a
  particular activity of a business. Determining
  whether your business is making sufficient
  progress in each activity, requires a baseline to
  compare results with. Using such indicators to
  keep a check on payroll is a positive move for
  you, your business, your staff and your payroll
  team. Enhancing KPIs enables you to minimize - or
  even decrease the costs associated with
  payroll, and makes it much easier to determine
  whether there are any negative trends making an
  appearance. Productivity and effectiveness are
  two key performance indicators that should be
  used for a payroll system.

• While payroll may indeed be a time-consuming
  affair, it must be carried out effectively each
  month, and providing accurate information for the
  IRS is equally important. Outsourcing payroll
  means that the burden is removed from your
  shoulders, and you or your administrative team
  will have more time to focus on other important
  elements of the business.
