Considerations When Selecting a Payroll Provider

Payroll is an integral part of business operations, but some construction companies still process payroll manually or use outdated systems. Taking advantage of the latest advancements in payroll processing can be a game changer for your business.

If you think your payroll could use a refresh, here are some considerations for effectively selecting payroll software or changing providers.

Integration 
When selecting a payroll provider, ensure that the new solution will integrate seamlessly with your current software. Integrating your project management, accounting, and payroll systems provides one unified view of your business, so you can be confident that all team members can access the data they need when they need it. 

Integrating payroll with other solutions allows you to use applications such as remote time capture to link your field information with your payroll and accounting systems. It saves time in the field and the back office while reducing costly delays. PMs won’t have to contact payroll or accounting staff for project-related financial data, and payroll and accounting staff can focus on their work without having to stop to respond to information requests. It also eliminates error-prone double entry, which can lead to outdated or incorrect data.
