Once you've made the decision to no longer outsource payroll processing, you're ready to begin evaluating in-house payroll systems.
A complete payroll solution will efficiently handle time collection, payroll processing, tax calculations, employee self-service requests, employee reimbursements, as well as HR and benefits administration. Oh, and it should integrate seamlessly with your company's General Ledger.
When evaluating options for the best in-house payroll solution for your company, start by defining your priorities. Here are questions to ask yourself as you view payroll software demos:
- Can we customize the system to meet our needs without additional programming?
- Will it automate the manual payroll processes that we're using?
- Is ACA reporting included at no additional cost?
- Are there benefits administration tools?
- Can employees request time off, change contact information, and check paystubs online?
- Does the system include time and attendance or interface seamlessly with third-party time clocks?
- Are advanced features such as paying in arrears or applying an unlimited number of wage garnishments supported?
- Will the system track late-to-work, unplanned absences, and unscheduled overtime?
- Can we secure access to applications or employee records according to the user's role?
- What about reporting? Does the system include a report writer?
