What You Need to Know Before Outsourcing Your Payroll

Signing up with new outsourced payroll processors can be a scary prospect for many businesses. Chances are you’ve been using the same payroll services for years, whether you rely on an internal H.R. team to complete the work alone or on a third party to prepare all documents accurately. But what happens when the “same old” just isn’t enough?

A wise person once said, “The most dangerous phrase in the language is, ‘We’ve always done it this way.’” Is it time for your company to upgrade its payroll tax services? If you’re asking that question, the answer is probably yes.

Ready to get started? Here’s what you will need to sign up today:

• Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN)
• State Identification Number
• (states without income tax: AK, FL, NH, NV, SD, TN, TX, WA, WY)
• Company bank account number and routing number
