Small Business Payroll Services

Small business payroll services are available for those business owners who either cannot or do not want to do their own payroll processing for their business.

Even if you have a small business with very few employees, unless you are knowledgeable about the tax law in your jurisdiction, industrial awards, mandated employee conditions, and the regulations about employee and employer contributions to things like health funds, superannuation or 401k, it might pay to consider hiring a payroll service.

How does it Work?

These days transferring your payroll data to your payroll service is so much easier than a decade or so ago as it can now be done electronically. All you have to do is e-mail or fax your employee's time-sheets through to your payroll service and they will be able to process your pays for you.

All you have to do is to provide the source data (the time-sheets) and of course provide the actual cash to pay your employees. Your payroll service will calculate how much each of your employees should be paid, calculate all deductions, and update their service and leave records.

Once the payroll has been processed you should receive an individual payslip for each of your employees and a report summarizing payment to and behalf of all of your employees. In some cases, your payroll service may even be able to arrange for an electronic transfer of the net pays directly into your employees own bank accounts. But bear in mind, if you choose to go with a small business to do your payroll processing, they may not have this capability.

If you generally pay your employees using cash, your payroll service will also be able to provide you will a report listing the total amount to be paid to each employee and details of the denominations you will need (i.e. how many of each type or denomination of note and coin to be able to put the pays together).

How to Find a Payroll Service

Depending on the type of service provider you are looking for and the level of service you require, there are a number of different ways to locate a payroll service.

If you are after a large established business, you could try asking for a referral from your accountant or tax adviser. Business Directories or the yellow pages is another option.

For a small business that specializes in offering payroll services, the best place to look is generally in your local paper, as these businesses often rely on print advertising for reaching their target customers.

Your other option is to ask other business owners that you know to recommend a payroll service.
