How does payroll outsourcing work?
Instead of handling all your payroll functions in-house—like calculations and deductions, payroll processing, employee payments, and reporting—a specialist service provider will handle those tasks on your behalf.
You’re still responsible for providing your payroll partner with the data they need to process your payroll; like new starters, leavers, salary data, pension schemes. The best payroll providers have their own cloud-based portals for you to share this with them in a safe, fast, and efficient way.
Once they’ve got all the correct information to process your payroll, they do the difficult work from there.

Payroll outsourcing FAQs
What is payroll outsourcing?
Outsourced payroll is the practice of handing over the responsibility of manage your payroll and related tasks to an external service provider, like Cintra. Instead of handling all payroll functions in-house, a specialist service provider will handle those tasks on your behalf. That includes calculations and deductions, payroll processing, employee payments, real-time information reporting, and more.
You and your team are still responsible for providing the outsourced payroll provider with all the relevant information they need to run your payroll in a timely and accurate manner. And they’ll likely provide you with an online payroll portal to do this. In that portal, you’ll need to enter data such as new starters and leavers, salary data, working hours, pension schemes, and so on. Once they’ve got all the correct information to process your payroll, they’ll take the reins and do all the complicated work around calculations, deductions, compliance, and reporting.
How much does it cost to outsource payroll?
Payroll outsourcing costs largely depend on the size of your organisation, as most payroll services work on a price per payslip basis. But there are economies of scale involved. So, the bigger your organisation, the greater your discounted rate.
So, the cost of payroll outsourcing services varies depending on the specific needs of your company, the number of employees you have, and what payroll company you work with.

Is outsourcing payroll cost effective?
In short, yes! When you consider the employment and training costs of running your payroll in-house, outsourcing your payroll is absolutely cost effective.
Managing an in-house payroll team means you’ll be covering costs for recruitment, training, salaries, benefits, and everything else that comes with hiring internally. And all those things are much more difficult to budget for. But with outsourcing, the fixed fee or cost per payslip make it much easier to budget for your payroll expenses.
Is payroll outsourcing right for you?
Whether you’re a small business with a lot on your plate, or a larger team struggling with payroll tasks taking up too much of your time, outsourcing is just the thing to lighten the load and give you total peace of mind.
If you’re spending more time scratching your head over calculations and worrying about mistakes than actually running your business, it might be time to consider outsourcing. You’ll get a reliable partner who can handle the nitty-gritty, leaving you free to focus on what you do best. So, whether you’re feeling overwhelmed or just want to streamline your operations, outsourcing your payroll could be the solution you’ve been searching for.
