10 questions to ask a payroll service
Bankrate.com
Before beginning your search for a payroll service
provider, take a few minutes to think about what you want the company
to do for you. Interview at least three possible providers to get
an idea of basic services and costs.
Throughout the process, don't be afraid to ask questions.
Here are 10 that should top your payroll outsourcing inquiry list:
- What services are included with the basic payroll
plan?
- What does it cost?
- Is there a setup charge for the basic service?
- Are there setup, per-run or per-employee charges
for optional services?
- What is included in the tax filing service option?
- Does the basic service charge change if payroll
is weekly, biweekly or monthly?
- Are there extra charges for employee W-2 forms
and reporting at the end of the year?
- How does the payroll company bill for this service?
- Does the company assign a single contact person
to work with each customer?
- Will your bank charge a third-party processing
fee?
