Payroll 101

More and more Employers and Human Resource Professionals are finding it useful to track 'employee data'. Anywhere from tracking which benefits the employee has selected to PTO...(vacation days, sick days, personal days) and all the different pay types / codes. union / non-union, and certified hours just to name a few things employers and HR pros are tracking. YOU may be keeping track with an Excel spreadsheet or an sophisticated HR system...what ever works for you. The idea is that if you can track your 'cost' you'll have better 'controls' creating better profits or be able to offer your services at a better price.
Management 2000 (Professional Employer Organization) has the systems in place that  you would need to run your business more efficiently and more profitable. Whether you need an Excel spreadsheet put together or you want a 5 star HR system...yes you're right... we already have it. The time you would spend in researching systems, the cost of purchasing or leasing the system, training cost. Well you get my point, it gets expensive. I don't mean to sound rude, but Management 2000 really would be a true value to your company!!!

If you are an Employer in today's world you are required to manage Human Resources, Company offered Benefits and Payroll Administration just to mention a few areas. It's now much more complex then it use to be. New laws, new benefits and a changing work environment with part-time employees, shared jobs and more and more remote employees adds to the burden of all Employers or Human Resource Professionals. Just the increases in compliance risks is enough to drive you crazy. I'm guessing that with the current economic environment you have had  layoffs or cut out long standing budgets items...Employees sense this too...I think most of them know the pressure that Employers are under.

Lets talk about the cost of employment..Although I can't list everything because some things would be different due to number of employees and the state the employee is in. But, here are the obvious cost: Social Security, Medicare, FUTA and SUTA. Other payroll cost I view as 'Administration,' and those would be: Preparing your earning logs, calculating regular and OT, Tracking bonuses / holiday pay/ severance/ sick leave, I-9 compliance, W-4 records, issuing checks, payroll deposits, preparing quarterly/ annual reports, maintaining payroll records/ bookkeeping, W2/ year end reports. 
If you have a relationship with us, Management 2000 an Indiana PEO company, we would handle all these items along with paying local, state and federal taxes - reconciling accounts and giving you the reporting necessary to run your business.

If you are still generating paper checks for your employees now may be a good time to consider going to Electronic Pay (Direct Deposit). Think about it...Direct Deposit has been around for over 30 years, yet employers still generate paper 'live' checks for their employees every pay period.
I understand that some employees don't have a banking relationship but, that's why they created Payroll Cards. Some of the benefits of eliminating paper 'live' checks are:
You'll have less escheatment reporting (un-cashed checks). Less payroll check fraud. Bank account reconciliation becomes much simpler. Fees associated with check clearing drop. Lost check replacement calls go away. Each state have their own laws / reg's that you need to know...Management 2000 (Professional Employer Organization) knows the laws and how to encourage the employees to go paperless. The relationship with Management 2000 saves the employer 'time and money' and the employees are much happier...it's a win - win.

If you always do what you've always done...you'll always get what you've always got...

I saw an interesting survey the other day. It asked 1500 Employers why they chose to Outsource.
51% thought of HR outsourcing as just Payroll and tax filing while 23% did think think of it as a full range of HR activities.
Further breakdown shows the primary benefits of HR outsourcing; 20% said it minimizes risk, 19% increased productivity, 15% saves them money 14% saves them on hardware / software solutions and 12% said it improved service and employee satisfaction.
Another 12% said that the new federal and state legislative changes would make them more likely to outsource.
Well there you go...1500 employers...What do you think?

If you always do what you've always done...you'll always get what you've always done!

Crazy...I was at the Barns & Noble book store yesterday and you know how they have the display tables set up as you walk in...Well on the 2nd table there was a book 'Outsourcing for Dummies'.
I thought to my self 'Outsourcing really is catching on'! So I went back to the Business / Finance section and there must have been 12 different books on Outsourcing. They ranged from 125 pages to 475, but the theme was the same... 
If your the Owner, CFO, Controller, HR Director etc. you should really look into how Outsourcing can benefit your company.
So I thought that it was pretty cool that they were publishing so many books on what Management 2000 has been doing for 15 years!

If you always do what you've always done...you'll always get what you always got...

Businesses around the country are looking or re-looking at their business plans for 2010 and going forward.
They're calling Management 2000 because they know we have a fully managed HR, Payroll, 401K / IRA, Benefits, Workers' Comp departments that they can pick and choose from.
The idea is to save them on their personnel cost...save them time and at the end of the day save them real $$$ dollars $$$.
M2K has been working with bunisnees for 15 years creating solutions and savings for our clients. I like to think of it as a WIN - WIN for everyone, but the ones who end up winning the most are the employees.

If you always do what you've always done...you'll always get what you've always got...
