• Both time consuming and complex, payroll for
  employees is the bane of many a small business
  owners life, yet as a necessity, it has to be
  dealt with one way or the other. Fortunately,
  there are a number of ways in which you can
  simplify payroll, while still ensuring that your
  employees are paid read on to know more
• Have salaries for all employees
• It doesnt matter how you process payroll, but
  having your employees on a salary instead of an
  hourly rate, can make it simpler. Gross pay, tax
  withholding and net pay can be calculated once,
  and then simply replicated every payday. While
  bonuses will naturally require additional
  calculations, a salary system is by far and large
  one of the most significant ways to save money
  when calculating payroll.

• Check with an accounting professional to see if
  this is an option for you.
• Payroll software
• Payroll software can help to simplify the
  process, and enable you to spend less time
  calculating pay and withholdings, for your
  employees. Most online software versions require
  a monthly fee, while many outsourced accounting
  agencies also use them, meaning that you can reap
  the rewards of the software, along with all the
  other benefits of outsourcing, such as reduced
  time and regulatory compliance.

• Most payroll software calculates the net pay and
  creates a pay summary for each employee, while
  others automate the direct deposit process or
  create checks for you, too.
• Outsourcing
• This is the ultimate solution for simplifying
  payroll, and takes absolutely all of the effort,
  time and stress out of the entire process for
  small business owners. Paying only for those
  services you use, and based upon how many
  employees you have, outsourcing agencies
  typically handle every element of payroll for
  you, and keep updated with changes to tax laws so
  that youre always IRS compliant.

• Its important to remember that the IRS still
  hold the employer responsible for paying back
  taxes if an outsourcing agency makes a mistake,
  so be sure to work only with an experienced team
  with a good record and plenty of accounting
  skills.

• Filing is a major pain in the proverbial for many
  small business owners, and if you calculate your
  payroll manually, its important that you keep
  track of employees withholdings and complete all
  the proper state and federal paperwork. Records
  can be stored electronically, but every employer
  must keep these records for 3 years, leading many
  to choose working with an outsourced payroll
  agency, to reduce this requirement.
