What is Payroll Management?

Payroll management encompasses all the tasks necessary to ensure that workers are paid correctly and on time. A payroll service is a third-party organisation that takes on these responsibilities, simplifying tasks such as recording employee time and attendance, calculating wages, withholding the correct payroll taxes and arranging direct deposits. Modern payroll services act as complete management solutions: they track attendance, collect wage and time data, calculate wages, monitor workers’ compensation premiums, maintain electronic payroll records, comply with federal and state laws, prepare tax forms and integrate benefits. By outsourcing payroll you guarantee that every worker receives the right amount at the right time.
