Small Business

• If youre the owner of a small business, youll
  know just how important finances are in measuring
  your businesses success. Most financial
  considerations are kept within the company, and
  often strictly so, but payroll is one part of the
  business in which every company member has a
  vested interest. Often the biggest expense for
  companies, too, its vital that payroll be
  processed accurately and efficiently.
• When youre researching payroll software systems,
  its important to consider your specific needs
  and how the different options available to you,
  weigh up.

• Here are some points to consider when youre
  searching for payroll software for your small
  business
• Be sure to properly evaluate the needs of your
  business
• The nature of your business, may vary greatly
  from that of another business, and so what works
  for one, may not work for another. Payroll
  software that can be customised to suit your
  businesses specific needs will make life much
  simpler all round.

• When thinking about the needs of your business,
  consider the following points, such as the size
  of your company, your budget, and what is your
  level of comfort and familiarity with the
  legalities, rules and regulations surrounding
  payroll.
• Look in detail at the features of the payroll
  software
• TAX FILING
• Whatever a businesses size, managing and
  recording taxes can be tricky and time consuming,
  particularly as state and federal tax rules and
  regulations change frequently. If a payroll
  software system offers tax filing features, then
  this could help you manage the complexities and
  stay he right side of the law.

• EMPLOYEE SELF SERVICE PORTAL
• This gives employees the ability to manage their
  personal payroll data quickly and easily, and
  helps to keep the data recording process more
  streamlined, without the need for continued
  communication between all parties. A self-service
  payroll portal for small businesses should
  include information such as pay stubs, W2 forms
  and paid time off balance.

6

• DIRECT DEPOSIT
• This feature is vital for streamlining the
  payment process for all parties, and this is
  increasingly being considered as the norm within
  companies. Paper checks are inconvenient in many
  ways, for both employer and employee, involving
  trips to banks to withdraw funds and the physical
  act of handing out paper checks. Cutting them out
  of the process saves time and resources, and
  direct deposits are now a key feature of most
  payroll software systems.

• HR INTEGRATION
• There are myriad benefits of HR integration in
  small business payroll software, and these
  include streamlining the way in which departments
  communicate and organize between each other, and
  in the long run, will reduce time and resources,
  and often costs, too.
• Look closely at the cost versus how it functions
• Opting for the cheapest payroll solution may seem
  tempting, particularly if youre used to dealing
  with it all yourself, but its usually not the
  most sensible decision, and will often require
  more manual work.

8

• Spending a little more may well end up saving you
  money in the long run, as a good payroll software
  system will provide you with more accuracy and
  enable you to be fully tax compliant, therefore
  avoiding potentially costly penalties.
• If choosing the right payroll software system for
  your small business is too baffling or time
  consuming, why not consult the advice of a
  payroll company who specialize in working with
  such systems and who can help you to manage it
  better?
