Reduce Time Theft

What is Time Theft?

5 Mistakes to Avoid while doing Payroll

1.     Miscalculating payroll: Employers who do their payrolls by themselves are vulnerable to making mistakes while calculating their payroll.  They may not be aware of the
recent tax updates and how to deduct the various taxes properly.  This could lead to paying a huge amount of penalties every time while running the payroll.

2.     Late Tax Deposits: Employers have to be cautious about the numerous deadlines they have to meet for depositing the federal and state taxes.  Different types of taxes have different
filing dates, so employers have to make sure they do not forget about filing the taxes at the right time.

3.     Misclassifying workers:  There are different types of categories that employees come under such as independent contractors, hourly or salary employees.  Classifying an employee with an hourly pay type under salary will cause to inaccurate tax withholdings and tax deposits.

4      Poor record keeping:  When hiring an employee, the employers have to make him fill out numerous forms such as W-4 and I-9.  Misfiling or forgetting to fill out any one of these forms can get your company in trouble during an audit.

5.     Not running payroll on time: Completing a payroll is a strenuous process that utilizes a lot of time and resources. Sometimes, companies either delay their payroll processes or they completely forget to do so.  They are continuously under pressure to complete their payrolls and hence, it is advised to outsource the payroll to more specialized companies such as Garden State Payroll.

5 Reasons to Outsource Your Payroll

5 Reasons to Outsource Your Payroll

1.   Accurate: By outsourcing its payroll,  a company can avoid any penalties related to improperly filing payroll related paperwork.  A payroll provider such as Garden State Payroll will use its specialization to make sure that the paperwork is filed on time and the tax calculations are accurate. 

 

2.    Time Efficient: A company can save hours by subcontracting its payroll to an external company.  The opportunity cost of a company not outsourcing its payroll is the time it could
have spent on doing the work the employees are there to do.  The revenue generated from giving your payroll to other companies is way more than the cost of time lost by doing it
internally.  

3.     Convenient: It is better to give someone else the task of doing your payroll rather than tackling the paperwork by yourself.  No need to worry about any delays, no pressure on your mind about dealing with the work, everything is taken care of!!

4.     Cost-effective: Processing payroll internally requires training and continuously buying updated software which could waste thousands of dollars.  When outsourcing the task of handling payroll, a company can cut down its costs significantly.  Hiring a Payroll Accountant just to do your payroll is more expensive than having another company do the same calculations in an accurate manner.  

 

5.     More-personalized: Small companies need their payroll provider to thoroughly know the business.  At Garden State Payroll, we work on frequently interacting with our clients and providing them with solutions about their payroll.
