OVERVIEW

All sizes and types of businesses can benefit from outsourcing their payroll - that's a fact!

The payroll function is often seen as time consuming and burdensome which distracts business owners from focusing their energy and resources on the important task of running their business. We live in a society of ever increasing legislative changes with high penalties for non-compliance with payroll issues. Lambert Chapman recognises this and has developed a dedicated department to deal with the processing of payroll.

Lambert Chapman has operated a payroll bureau for over 10 years and currently manages the payrolls of over 200 businesses of varying sizes and is responsible for the calculation of wages for over 2,500 employees. Our in-house team are experienced payroll processors who are continually improving their knowledge in current processing techniques and PAYE legislation. We have invested in a software package specifically designed for payroll bureaux 'Star Professional' which streamlines the process and by using the advanced reporting options allows us to provide our clients with specific reports to manage their business.

We believe that our service is efficient and cost effective and we constantly assess our service to ensure that quality is maintained. To complement the service we provide, a named payroll processor is assigned to each payroll to ensure that queries or problems are sorted quickly and efficiently.

Outsourcing is the allocation of a business process to an external service provider who then becomes responsible for the day-to-day running and maintenance of the delegated process.

To maximise efficiency, it is good practise to liaise closely with the service provider on a regular basis to prevent issues arising due to the lack of understanding and communication between the two parties. We recognise this as an important quality within the payroll bureau and as a result all clients are allocated a named member of staff with whom to deal with.

Here are the main reasons why outsourcing your payroll to Lambert Chapman makes sense:

• Modifications to payroll legislation and statutory requirements are dealt with automatically
  
  
• Avoid the hassle of corresponding with HM Revenue and Customs, DSS and other official bodies
  
  
• Cut out the need for costly software licenses, staff training and free up valuable IT resources
  
  
• Fixed tariff based on the number of transactions undertaken allowing costs to be budgeted
  
  
• Staff sickness and holidays no longer become an issue as there is constant cover for payroll processing
  
  
• Confidentiality is maintained at all times and sensitive information is kept off site
