When you hire corporate payroll services, the automated payroll system enables you, as the employer, to process your payroll with the help of a computerized system. On the other hand, a payroll system that is manual would require processing by hand. Therefore, it is considered a slower procedure as compared to an automated system. The automated payroll system makes payroll processing easier and leads to a reduction in errors that are likely to occur using the manual system.
Less time consumed, fewer mistakes committed!
The hourly workers get their payment based on the hours they work during the pay period. In order to track hours, the employer uses a time-keeping system, which helps in making payments to the hourly employees accordingly. Therefore, it becomes very critical to computing each employee’s time accurately. Various employers use the method of a time clock in order to track work hours. For using a manual payroll system for computing the time clock data, it needs to be processed by hand. This method, therefore, increases the possibility of committing mistakes while computing.
However, the automated time-keeping system gives the employer an opportunity to import time clock data into the payroll software. Hence, to clock in and out an employee uses a badge or swipe card, or the fingerprint or handprint method. The software computes the time worked after the employer transports the entries into the payroll software. This leaves the payroll staff member with the responsibility of ensuring that the time transported is appropriate and the necessary edits made.
How do the payment calculations work?
In order to compute all the wages, the automated payroll system uses payroll software. Based on the data fed in by the payroll representative, the payroll software, such as QuickBooks, calculates gross-to-net earnings. Hence, the main outcome or result depends on how accurate was the input fed in by the representative was. Therefore, if the payroll representative neglects to make the entry of a terminated employee who had due severance pay, then the system will not pay it. Thus, the system is as reliable as the entries made by the representative. When it comes to the automated system, it performs many payments: overtime, hourly, salaries, double-time, bonuses, commissions, retroactive pay, pay raises, wage deductions, tuition reimbursements, and auto payments. By now, you know that the automated system has the ability to eliminate manual paycheck writing. The system automatically enables direct deposit and generates stubs and paychecks.
