If you own of a small to medium size company and  trying to process your own payroll in house, use, the cost of the time spent is even greater.

Mistakes can lead to audits and penalties

According to the IRS, at least 40 percent of small businesses pay an average penalty of $845 per year for late or incorrect filings and payments. Penalties for errors, omissions or late payroll tax filings can be very costly. Payroll mistakes are painful, angering employees and not reporting timely or accurately to the government posts red flags to the IRS. Small business owners aren’t experts in the challenging world of government tax regulations. At the same time, they are legally responsible for any cases of misrepresentation or a failure to accurately report employment taxes to federal and state government agencies.

Mistakes lead to audits and penalties -- situations no business wants or needs. Government rules and regulations are always changing and business owners can’t be expected to stay on top of these changes. Professional payroll providers, on the other hand, must stay current with rules, regulations and changes in tax rates. A good payroll-services provider is far less likely to make a serious error than your in-house staff.

Outsourced payroll providers calculate payroll taxes, manage filings and payments and will assume the cost of penalties due to incorrect calculations or late payments as long as you provide the necessary information and funds on time. Keeping abreast of state, federal, local and industry-specific regulation changes can be at best a real challenge. A reputable outsourced payroll provider has a staff dedicated to keeping up to date on all of the changes that could affect your payroll, ensuring that you stay in compliance.

In general, outsourcing payroll can cost half of what it would to do it in-house. Hiring an outside service also eliminates the need to hire a full-time payroll manager, and you’ll free up time to work on other aspects of your business.
