Outsourcing your payroll to GRANITE PAYROLL can provide your small business with a number of important benefits:

Save time

Using our payroll solution is typically more efficient for a small business than processing payroll internally. Leaving payroll to experts frees up hours that you can devote to other important parts of your business. Whether it is your time, staff time, or a combination, chances are the hours could be better spent winning more business, improving customer service, fine-tuning business operations or launching a new product line. Among the areas where outsourcing will save time are:

  • Processing payroll
  • Calculating and paying withholding and employment taxes
  • Preparing and distributing W-2s and 1099s at year-end
  • Handling employee payroll inquiries

Save money

Many business owners underestimate the cost of processing payroll internally by failing to account for all hours spent and resources allocated to pay employees and maintain payroll paperwork. A thorough cost assessment usually proves that a small business saves money by outsourcing the processing, tracking and filing of payroll documents. To assess your own internal payroll costs, consider:

  • How much the time spent is actually worth: consider the cost of your time and the time
    of anyone who processes or “touches” payroll. Often, many people in a small company
    are involved in the various parts of payroll processing.
  • What savings would outsourcing provide: since an outside provider can handle all the
    responsibilities involved in managing payroll and answering employee questions, a small
    business can often eliminate or reallocate an internal payroll resource.

Avoid penalties

Calculating federal, state, and local employment taxes and filing payroll-related tax paperwork can be more than just a hassle. If it’s done incorrectly, your small business may face penalties and even interest on money owed since the mistake was made. In fact, it is estimated that one in three small businesses receive a tax penalty costing over $800 each year. Outsourcing payroll does away with the risk of many of these costs and hassles because:

  • Granite Payroll calculates payroll taxes, based on its expertise and close tracking of
    regulation changes.
  • Monthly or quarterly employment tax reports are managed by Granite Payroll, ensuring
    they are submitted correctly and on time.
  • Granite Payroll may assume penalties that come as a result of incorrect tax calculations.
  • End-of-year paperwork — such as W-2s and 1099s — are handled by Granite Payroll, so
    they are sent out on time.
