Payroll outsourcing services

Payroll outsourcing is when an experienced team of payroll professionals, external to your business, manage your payroll. Payroll outsourcing can be delivered in the form of a fully managed payroll service, a more flexible part-managed payroll solution or processing only solution.

With one in three businesses opting for a fully managed payroll solution², payroll outsourcing can give you peace of mind that your people are paid correctly each payday, on time and with total security and compliance.

Payroll outsourcing works by having a team of payroll experts outside of your organisation handling payroll on your behalf. It enables employers to pay their people accurately and on time without the hassle and risk of running complex and time-consuming processes in-house.

It is particularly useful for businesses that employ a mixture of salaried and hourly paid staff and find that the growing cost of managing payroll in-house doesn't align with growth strategies.

Outsourcing payroll ensures that:

• Your data is compliant and secure
• Payroll is accurate and on time
• Costs are controlled
• Payroll can be scaled as quickly as your business grows
• Payroll isn't affected if one (or multiple) team members are sick or out of the business

'Outsourced payroll' refers to a fully managed payroll service. This is where an organisation delegates all of its payroll operations to a full-service third party provider to manage on their behalf. 

A managed payroll service is often where an organisation has HR and/or time and attendance software in-house - like our PeopleXD HR software- but work with a third-party payroll provider to manage their payroll processing. This can be more tailored and bespoke to the individual needs of each organisation and will ensure a seamless flow of data from the in-house HR software to the specialist payroll services team for processing.
