If you’re thinking about taking your Canadian payroll in-house, this is the guide for you. See how making the move gives you greater control, saves you money, and gives you more time back in your day.
Your time is precious, let’s save you a few clicks. Here are some of our most asked questions.
Essentially, in-house payroll is when an internal payroll team processes payroll for the entire organization. This means your organization’s payroll team would handle all steps of the process – from preparing and double-checking remittances to submitting them. In-house payroll processing provides control, peace of mind, and the flexibility teams need to make timely changes and better decisions.
The right payroll processing method for your organization depends entirely on your workforce needs, resources, and budget. What makes sense for one company might not make sense for another.
In-house payroll software gives your organization complete control over your entire payroll process. From last-minute cheques to running trial payrolls for accuracy. Outsourcing isn’t as flexible. If you need to make last-minute changes, it’s usually too late for the payroll run. From reporting to changing earning codes and more – an in-house self-service model puts you firmly in control.
One downside to outsourcing is that everything must be done on your vendor’s watch. Some providers require you to have your payroll ready 4-5 days in advance, followed by your payment two days in advance. This means you have less time to get your work done every cycle, which is convenient and profitable for your provider, but may not be the best option for you.
One of the biggest benefits of outsourcing is supposed to be the time you save letting someone else handle your payroll, along with saving on labour costs. But you may not save as much on time and labour as you think.
Larger enterprises (4000+ employees) are typically able to turn around mass payroll files to their outsourcer for processing. But if you’re a smaller or mid-size business (200-3000 employees), you likely still need software to enter some of your payroll data manually. And it doesn’t matter how an outsourcer processes a file, you or someone on your staff will still need to provide additional payroll data (timesheet data, PTO, salary information, etc). If you already have to collect and send that information, it doesn’t really take much more time or labour to handle your entire payroll process in-house.
