Payroll errors frustrate your staff members, create hassles for your HR team, and can cost you money in unnecessary overpayment or penalties for compliance violations. In the past five years, employers paid more than 1.2 billion in back wages due to payroll infractions. https://www.dol.gov/whd/data/
Today’s post is for SMB owners who are currently processing payroll in-house and want to improve the accuracy of their practices.
The two most important changes you can make to reduce payroll errors:
1. Automate Employee Time and Attendance
Manual payroll processes continually present opportunities for inaccuracies—missed punches, deliberate time theft, unwitting miscalculations, failure to withhold the proper amounts, innacurate PTO tracking, and data entry mistakes. But accuracy is not the only benefit of automation. It also saves time (and money) by allowing your HR team to be more productive. Workforce Management Suite from SwipeClock takes the human error out of the payroll equation.
2. Outsource Payroll
Take advantage of the expertise of a payroll service provider who has earned the trust of companies in your industry. Outsourcing will reduce your audit liability substantially and expedite HR operations at your business. Worried that your business can’t afford to outsource payroll? Consider the big picture. If you are currently cutting checks for workers, computing withholding amounts, reconciling data, filing the necessary tax forms, and tracking PTO and overtime, how much time does this take you? What is that time worth?
Perhaps you have an HR manager handling all things payroll. How much do you pay her/him? Is this person a payroll specialist? Does she/he vigilantly keep up with all changes to the myriad laws that impact your organization? Do you have an effective document management system at your organization? These are important questions for all business owners to consider.
