Why should I pay to outsource payroll service when I could just do it in-house?
Earlier it was possible for almost anyone to process payroll without making any mistakes. However, in recent times it has certainly become a more professional service as there are too many things to consider. All employers are now required by law to submit an RTI (real-time information) return every single time employees are paid as part of the payroll activities, and if this is not done correctly, they may have to pay heavy fines too. You may have sufficient time to do your payroll. However, the risks to a business in doing so compensate the money saved by managing payroll in-house.
