Running a business requires many things that are very important for the success and development of a company. The first thing has enough money to start your business. But money is useless if you do not have good organizational skills letting you have corresponding record keeping from the very start, do knot know the market demands, do not have strategic planning and qualified and professional staff, and are not ready to learn and teach.

One of the essential points is to have a qualified payroll team who can prevent fraud, maintain conformity and prepare crucial documents in a timely and proper manner. Payroll functions are essential in any organization, including business enterprises. They extend to a wide range of administrative and labor matters and make analyses, prepare reports including salary registers, employee attendance reports, reimbursement, organize and keep data, etc. Employees of a company are its most valuable capital, and the enterprises try to choose the corresponding payroll system to ensure the company’s health, development, and future success. A proper payroll system lets you pay compensation and salary to your employees as required promptly and under legislation in force, as well as regulates and controls employees’ working hours.

Companies may keep employees to execute these tasks in the office or may outsource them by professionals on their behalf. One of the essential parts of a payroll system is a software solution making it possible to calculate and pay wages, taxes, and all kinds of deductions for employees. Payroll tax software is to be used for accurate tax calculation under existing requirements and regulations, reducing the risk of fines and penalties. Using a payroll system, the owners understand the business needs and demands well and make the right decision weighing the benefits and risks.

There are four types of payroll systems:

In-House Payroll – is very suitable for small businesses with limited staff. The payroll tasks are executed internally by the company’s employees using stand-alone or integrated payroll software. In-house payroll has advantages, as it ensures privacy by keeping the financial data and documents with the company’s staff. It requires the company to keep the payroll employees aware of all changes and amendments to payroll tax and labor laws. Being uninformed of other systems, the possibility of error is a disadvantage of an in-house payroll system.

Bookkeepers/CPA-managed payroll – this means hiring a bookkeeper or a CPA to manage the payroll process when the company employees cannot complete payroll needs and are not qualified enough to execute such tasks. These tasks of the payroll system are carried out by a professional and skilled bookkeeper/CPA in payroll. While using a payroll software system, it is monitored by the bookkeeper/CPA. Hiring an outside bookkeeper or CPA to execute the work has advantages for employees. It lets the company accounting department know about changes and amendments to labor laws and payroll tax regulations. Besides, involving an outside bookkeeper or CPA raises knowledge of the company employees concerning possible errors in the payroll, taxes, and deductions. The company also creates a system of checks and balances in the payroll.

Agency-managed payroll – involves a firm that is only engaged with processing payroll and undertakes the responsibility of your company’s payroll. This system requires payroll experts to bring high-level expertise to the company. The agency executes all payroll functions, including administrative work, deductions, and bank deposits. Agency-managed payroll develops and broadens the company’s accounting department’s knowledge, increases company payroll expertise, ensures the correctness of the payroll process, and decreases the risks of mistakes. Agency-managed payroll is more expensive than the other systems, but companies affording the price gain as accurate, timely, and professional work is worth it.

Software-managed payroll – 1C Software, Oracle, SAP, Xero payroll software, MYOB payroll system, or QuickBooks payroll software is a computerized cloud-based payroll system that are automatically updated with information and can be used 24/7 with the company’s data from any location.

These are its advantages, but there are disadvantages, as it requires in-house employees to interact with it and lacks the checks and balances of other systems.

So, companies have choices and can use the most favorable and advantageous system for their work, considering all these systems’ advantages and disadvantages depending on the size of their enterprises. These were the central payroll systems that companies use. Should a company have professional and skilled payroll employees, it will be an additional chance. Employees are the most valuable capital of all companies because none of the systems and programs can work without human beings. If a company does not have professional payroll specialists, they can apply to outsource companies.
