If you have a well-oiled payroll process, your staff will love you\u2014but if you run payroll inconsistently, you risk major upset.\n\nSince payroll processing is an admin-heavy task, it\u2019s understandable that some business owners believe it\u2019s easier to use outsourced payroll. However, bringing this process back in-house can give you greater control.\n\nWhat a company ultimately chooses depends on a number of factors. We\u2019re here to make the decision between in-house and outsourced payroll a little easier, by breaking down the benefits of both.\n<h2 id=\"what-is-in-house-payroll\">What is in-house payroll?<\/h2>\nIn-house payroll is when a company has a team or individual in their organisation who is in charge of running payroll.\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-benefits-of-having-in-house-payroll\">What are the benefits of having in-house payroll?<\/h2>\nBringing payroll in-house can be transformational for your business, but it has to suit your set-up and preferences. Here are just a handful of scenarios where in-house payroll could be the right choice for you.\n<h3 id=\"youd-like-to-have-greater-control-over-the-payroll-process\">You\u2019d like to have greater control over the payroll process<\/h3>\nDo you need to change a payroll rule? Do you need to enter a new employee into the system? Are permissions of pay reporting changing hands? When you\u2019re outsourcing payroll, these changes could take some time to take effect. You\u2019re waiting on someone external to complete what might be urgent changes.\n\nWith in-house payroll, you can make instant changes to your processes and start actioning them right away. It takes the middleman out of managing your payroll.\n<h3 id=\"youre-interested-in-utilising-technology\">You\u2019re interested in utilising technology<\/h3>\nThese days technology can do a lot of things, and one of them is supporting payroll. Payroll software is a great way to minimise the time your in-house team spends on payroll. It can also provide greater clarity on the trickier parts of payroll, and automate a number of processes, including statutory contributions.\n\nIf you\u2019re thinking about bringing payroll in-house but are concerned about the time-cost, introducing payroll software can be a great way to provide extra support.\n<h3 id=\"youd-like-to-instantly-and-confidentially-access-important-data\">You\u2019d like to instantly and confidentially access important data<\/h3>\nWhen you\u2019re outsourcing to a payroll provider, important employee data is being passed on to an external company to manage. While they might have great security and processes, there\u2019s nothing like having peace of mind in knowing that your data is securely held in-house and easily accessible to those with the correct permissions.\n\nSometimes urgent reporting is required, or an employee needs to access their details quickly. When the data sits directly within your company, it can save so much time and stress for your administrative and payroll team.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A person working on payroll processes\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-21325\" height=\"601\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/In-house-payroll-vs-outsourcing-MY-blog-image-1-768x451.png\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/In-house-payroll-vs-outsourcing-MY-blog-image-1-768x451.png 768w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/In-house-payroll-vs-outsourcing-MY-blog-image-1-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/In-house-payroll-vs-outsourcing-MY-blog-image-1-1024x601.png 1024w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/In-house-payroll-vs-outsourcing-MY-blog-image-1-1536x901.png 1536w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/In-house-payroll-vs-outsourcing-MY-blog-image-1-864x508.png 864w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/In-house-payroll-vs-outsourcing-MY-blog-image-1-440x258.png 440w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/In-house-payroll-vs-outsourcing-MY-blog-image-1.png 1728w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<h3 id=\"you-want-to-connect-timesheets-and-rostering\">You want to connect timesheets and rostering<\/h3>\nBy using technology like payroll software, you can easily connect timesheets and rostering directly to payroll services. With everything living on the same platform, approved timesheets automatically feed through to payroll. Rostering is also a breeze, with templates, dynamic rostering and budgeting tools.\n\nIntegrating these critical HR processes is another way that you gain more control over your business operations. With software solutions that speak to each other, you can easily manage your employees\u2019 time and payment from one single source of truth.\n<h3 id=\"employees-want-control-over-their-own-information\">Employees want control over their own information<\/h3>\nWhile we\u2019re on the topic of human error\u2026 Most administrative staff will know the pains that can be caused by one small data entry mistake. Something as small as typing an illegible number incorrectly into a system can cause hours of headaches to fix down the track.\n\nWhen you use an in-house system like <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/products\/payroll-software\/\">91±¬ΑΟ Payroll<\/a>, employees can enter their own payroll details into the self-service platform. They can easily view and manage their personal details, making updates as their life circumstances change.\n<h3 id=\"youd-like-to-control-reporting\">You\u2019d like to control reporting<\/h3>\nIs your company growing and evolving? Maybe you\u2019re looking to do a detailed audit of your finances and need specific information to do so?\n\nControlling your own payroll reports can give you back the flexibility to do things your way. You can pull reports instantly, easily sourcing any information you need.\n<h2 id=\"what-are-outsourced-payroll-services\">What are outsourced payroll services?<\/h2>\nOutsourced payroll services are when you hand over payroll management to an expert. While they\u2019re not a part of the business, they can take over all the manual tasks that take up critical time.\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-benefits-of-outsourcing-payroll\">What are the benefits of outsourcing payroll?<\/h2>\nIf you suspect that the time you\u2019re dedicating to running your payroll in-house is affecting your bottom line, or you\u2019re struggling to keep up with the constantly changing regulations, it might be time to outsource. We\u2019ve outlined some common scenarios where outsourced payroll would suit you better than in-house payroll management.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A group of colleagues working together\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-21326\" height=\"601\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/In-house-payroll-vs-outsourcing-MY-blog-image-2-1536x901.png\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/In-house-payroll-vs-outsourcing-MY-blog-image-2-1536x901.png 1536w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/In-house-payroll-vs-outsourcing-MY-blog-image-2-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/In-house-payroll-vs-outsourcing-MY-blog-image-2-1024x601.png 1024w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/In-house-payroll-vs-outsourcing-MY-blog-image-2-768x451.png 768w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/In-house-payroll-vs-outsourcing-MY-blog-image-2-864x508.png 864w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/In-house-payroll-vs-outsourcing-MY-blog-image-2-440x258.png 440w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/In-house-payroll-vs-outsourcing-MY-blog-image-2.png 1728w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<h3 id=\"the-team-are-spending-too-much-time-on-payroll-tasks\">The team are spending too much time on payroll tasks<\/h3>\nAsk yourself how much time you\u2019re spending on payroll and tax calculations, keeping on top of payroll compliance, cross-checking details and training new employees to use your tools. Then there\u2019s time spent updating HR information in the system, including new hires, leave requests and more.\n\nAre you managing these processes manually or on spreadsheets? You\u2019re probably frustrated by the inefficiency. If your business is growing, your in-house payroll processes will start taking up more and more valuable time. Outsourcing payroll can cut down wasted processing time by taking it out of the business\u2019 hands entirely.\n<h3 id=\"youre-finding-that-payroll-costs-are-too-high\">You\u2019re finding that payroll costs are too high<\/h3>\nRunning payroll in-house means you\u2019re footing the bill for resources such as:\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Employing someone to process payroll<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Ongoing training for payroll staff<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Payroll software<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Time and attendance software, if it\u2019s not contained in the payroll system<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Professional membership to a payroll organisation that provides assistance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThat\u2019s not all \u2013 as payroll legislative requirements change, you might find yourself saddled with impromptu costs from keeping up to date with these changes. You might need to attend training courses, allocate additional time or resources to conduct payroll calculation audits, engage a third party to review your payroll software, or consult a legal firm for advice on compliance.\n\nAll of this adds up into a hefty sum. If you\u2019re in the midst of growing your business and being mindful of cost per head, an outsourced payroll model could be the right move (and might not be as expensive as you think).\n\nSome outsourced payroll providers roll everything you need into an all-inclusive package \u2013 this can be a cost-efficient solution, and lets you manage your organisation\u2019s payroll operations budget a little better when you don\u2019t have to account for all the inevitable ad hoc costs.\n\nIncorrectly paying people can come with hefty fines and you don\u2019t want to find yourself in this position. That\u2019s why outsourced payroll can be a huge lifesaver.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A woman smiling while at work\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-21327\" height=\"601\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/In-house-payroll-vs-outsourcing-MY-blog-image-3-1536x901.png\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/In-house-payroll-vs-outsourcing-MY-blog-image-3-1536x901.png 1536w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/In-house-payroll-vs-outsourcing-MY-blog-image-3-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/In-house-payroll-vs-outsourcing-MY-blog-image-3-1024x601.png 1024w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/In-house-payroll-vs-outsourcing-MY-blog-image-3-768x451.png 768w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/In-house-payroll-vs-outsourcing-MY-blog-image-3-864x508.png 864w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/In-house-payroll-vs-outsourcing-MY-blog-image-3-440x258.png 440w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/In-house-payroll-vs-outsourcing-MY-blog-image-3.png 1728w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<h3 id=\"youd-like-more-focus-time-for-running-and-growing-your-business\">You\u2019d like more focus time for running and growing your business<\/h3>\nIf you think about it, you already outsource a bunch of critical functions \u2013 your internet, your accounting software and maybe your inventory management. It\u2019s pretty standard for small and medium businesses to hand these vital tasks over to the experts, so you can get on with what you\u2019re supposed to do.\n\nIf you\u2019re spending time training new staff, chasing timesheets and running reports, you\u2019re not focused on revenue-generating activities, such as increasing sales or strategising your business plan. And all the other people who were helping to manage payroll? They\u2019ll also get time back to focus on their own areas.\n<h3 id=\"youre-struggling-to-keep-up-with-compliance\">You\u2019re struggling to keep up with compliance<\/h3>\nCompliance. Every business owner\u2019s favourite word. Have you looked at each detail in your workplace agreements? Are you on top of the latest legislation? There are leave entitlements and tax obligations to consider.\n\nIf all this incites fear, you\u2019re not alone. If you make a mistake, there are often significant penalties, and as a business owner, it will be your legal and financial responsibility. Outsourcing payroll means that you can be sure that an expert is taking the lead, leaving you less liable to such possibilities.\n<h3 id=\"you-arent-sure-whether-your-data-is-secure-enough\">You aren\u2019t sure whether your data is secure enough<\/h3>\nDo you know if your payroll data is prone to hacking? It\u2019s not just the banks that are at risk anymore. Your payroll system has sensitive identity information that cybercrime would just love to get their hands on.
