HR & Payroll Outsourcing

Payroll outsourcing exists in many shapes and forms: SaaS, payroll staffing, payroll optimisation and business process outsourcing. A brief overview.

Contrary to what some think, payroll outsourcing is not a take-it-or-leave-it concept. You decide which tasks you’d rather lay in the hands of a third party and which ones you keep in-house.

But whichever formula you go for, handing over some or all of your payroll duties to a third party is a big call to make.
