Payroll Management is a crucial part of any business. Any business primary responsibility is to keep the payments clear to employees, vendors, and clients.
If the payments are due & outstanding, it affects the credibility of the business and negatively impacts cash flows & operations of the business. Thus, payroll management plays a vital role in ensuring the payments & dues are clear to ensure smooth cash flows & operations of the business.
A business can do payroll management in 2 ways- outsourcing or in-house.
In-House Payroll Management
In large-scale companies, the in-house human resources or finance department team does payroll management.
Dedicating the payroll management internally to a dedicated team eases the process as a single team is handling & keeping records of the payroll of employees.
The In-House team uses an online system to keep track of leaves, holidays, and the number of working days to calculate the payroll of the employees.
Advantages of In-House Payroll Management
1. Complete Authority & Security
You will have complete control over the payroll process through which you can ensure the safety & security of sensitive information of your employees.
2. Effectiveness
In-House Payroll Management means one team will solely take care of the employees’ payroll management by effectively managing their salaries, salary slips, leaves, bonuses, PF Deductions, and more tasks in an accurate and timely manner.
3. Cost-Saving
Having In-House Payroll Management will help your company save a substantial amount of money in the long run compared to outsourcing payroll.
Outsourcing Payroll will cost you a set-up cost fee and a monthly or annual contractual fee, depending on the plan you are opting for.
Hiring an employee who is a payroll specialist will help you save a considerable amount of money over time. The payroll specialist will work jointly with the HR & Finance Departments for maximum efficiency.
4. Flexibility
Having In-House Payroll Management allows you to make last-minute changes to employees’ payroll if there is any leave taken or absenteeism by an employee or if any incorrect charges are applied while calculating PF deductions. Also, it allows you to access the daily reports of employees’ payroll & keeps you updated with their information.
Disadvantages of In-House Payroll Management
1. Time-consuming
In-House Payroll Management consumes much time as the team or the payroll specialist will be working only on one task of managing payroll, & it chews up much time and affects the company’s productivity.
2. Accuracy
The payroll specialist might need training from time to time with updated software tools for payroll management to avoid errors that can impact employees’ payroll. The training is cost & time consuming and will affect the business productivity.
3. Lack of knowledge
Due to time constraints, the in-house payroll team might not keep themselves updated with changing laws & in-depth knowledge about payroll management which can hamper the quality of payroll management.
