Featured Case study

COLONY

The Colony ER Hospital

Before switching to Netchex in April 2019, The Colony ER Hospital was using ADP – and was not thrilled with their experience. As the facility administrator at their small business, Alexis found it impossible to manage and process payroll correctly with ADP in the event she had to trust another employee to do so. She did not find ADP’s flow of payroll software to be user-friendly, often causing errors.

What is payroll software?

Payroll technology manages all tasks associated with payroll from beginning to end. This ranges from calculating wages to filing payroll taxes. Business payroll software allows you to organize and simplify these complex processes to work towards an accurate and timely payroll.

The alternatives—manually running payroll in-house or relying on a jumble of disconnected software systems—are less than ideal ways to run payroll. Common objections with these methods typically include:

  • Time-consuming, mundane processes
  • Labor intensity for those running payroll
  • Susceptibility for making mistakes

    Is payroll software easy to use?

    New technology adoption among employees is often a major factor in the success of new HR software. Company-wide buy-in and implementation are key to any payroll technology system. Everyone has to use it—and use it effectively—for it to really work.

    While aesthetic features like custom fonts and customizable color schemes won’t make a big difference for your business, these keys to technology adoption certainly will:

    Small businesses see software adoption as too expensive (50.72%), too time consuming (40.58%), and too complicated (26.09%) of a process.

    User experience

    Payroll software programs should be designed with everyday employees in mind, making it easy for everyone to find exactly what they need, when they need it. A rollout plan must consist of:

    • Training
    • Documentation
    • Personalized assistance.

    Customer service

    Helpful and proactive service makes a big difference for users of all levels. With expertise and continuous training, customer service reps are instrumental in helping clients learn the system and solve issues whenever they arise.

    Can payroll technology help with taxes?

    Taxes are a major responsibility and a huge lift on your company. It is also the part of the payroll process that is the most prone to mistakes, which can prove very costly.

    the IRS levied almost 5 MIL penalties related to payroll taxes, totaling $13.7B

    Employers have to withhold federal and state income tax from all employees’ taxable wages. Payroll software enables your company to file taxes automatically, helping you ensure everything is accurate and on time.

    Employers have several mandatory tasks in handling payroll taxes. These often include:

    • Figuring income tax withholdings and other employment taxes
    • Depositing all employment taxes according to a set deposit schedule
    • Reporting quarterly and/or annually on income tax withholdings, FICA, Social Security, and unemployment
