Large-scale payroll involves many different aspects that require knowledge of the law, technical competence and constant availability. The workload of payroll accountants is often uneven, concentrating at the beginning of the month. It is important to choose a reliable service provider to reduce stress and effort. There are a variety of service providers on the market, from simple payday solutions to complex systems that also include HR management.

  • Daily customer support: Reliable customer support is essential to deal with the day-to-day changes in payroll.
  • Automation: Errors are reduced and accuracy is increased when payroll is automated.
  • Inspection process: Quality payroll ensures that you are up to date with legislative changes and follow all processes.
  • Integrations: It is important that the system supports the accurate calculation of hours of scheduled employees.
  • Reasonable fees: A good service provider does not charge high premiums for adding rewards and bonuses.
  • Detailed reporting: The reports provide valuable information on labor costs and hours worked.
