9. Maintaining timely payroll processing

In addition to calculating payroll and maintaining compliance, businesses also are tasked with setting up and keeping a schedule to ensure employees are paid in a timely manner. And if you’re already pressed for time or don’t have the resources to hire a dedicated payroll expert, this can be an added burden.

10. Managing staff churn

Staff turnover happens, no matter how many measures you take to retain employees. It’s essential to have a process and procedure in place that keeps your payroll consistent through transitions.

11. Handling notices

IRS and state notices can be confusing. Dedicated time and research are necessary to reach a resolution, let alone the expertise to navigate IRS and state requirements. This is an area where a qualified, professional team can be essential. For instance, Aprio’s People Advisory Services team takes the reins on dealing with the IRS and government notices on behalf of clients, so that they can focus on running their business.
