SAVING MONEY BY OUTSOURCING

To fully understand the economic advantages of outsourcing payroll and finance functions, it is necessary to compare the various costs of a company doing this themselves versus the cost of outsourcing.  Some costs are easily identifiable but other costs may have to be assumed.

Let us look at the cost of having one full-time employee, such as an office manager, spending 8 hours per week performing payroll functions for a company with 20 employees, at an hourly wage of $12.00.  We will assume that outsourcing will reduce this time spent to 2 hours per week.

Employee Wage Expense $72.00
Employer Taxes & Workers' Comp (12% of wage expense) $8.64
Employer Training & Continuing Ed ($520/yr seminars, publications, travel) $10.00
TOTAL WEEKLY COST IN-HOUSE $90.64

COMPARE TO

Weekly Payroll Outsourcing
($25 + $1 per employee)
$45.00
 TOTAL WEEKLY COST OUTSOURCING $45.00

TOTAL WEEKLY SAVINGS!                   $45.64

TOTAL ANNUAL SAVINGS!                   $2,373.28

The cost savings would be even greater if time worked was overtime.  We can assume that time  saved by the office manager would be spent in a more productive way that helps build business for the company.

EVERYONE IS A WINNER!  Companies are more competitive because they are operating more efficiently.  This illustration does not consider potential savings from the reduced risk of late tax filings, incorrect payrolls, or non-compliance with wage or tax laws.
