Payroll outsourcing fails Simplotel
Simplotel was handling its payroll needs by outsourcing the entire process to a third-party payroll service provider. At first, this seemed like the right thing to do as it meant one less thing for a budding company to worry about.
However, Simplotel’s quick growth from a team of 20 to 80+ employees over the last few years led to more complex payroll requirements, and, with it, new problems began to arise.
Bottlenecks faced
- Data verification: A time-guzzler - The key bottleneck Simplotel faced was data verification. A lack of coordination and communication between Simplotel and the payroll service provider meant all employee data had to be manually registered, cross-checked at the end of each pay cycle and handed over to the third party for processing. With so many steps involved, errors remained a constant threat.
- Frequent employee queries - Payroll accuracy is a key concern for employees. Those seeking clarification regarding their payroll, taxes, LOP, etc., was aplenty. This meant the HR department was swamped with queries constantly.
Payroll software: Evaluating options
When Simplotel realized that outsourcing was not working out, they began looking at SaaS-based solutions. Of the various options they tried, most lacked in the capabilities Simplotel required. The management also noticed that their employees were not happy using these solutions either and that the technical support offered was below par.
