Processing payroll for small companies can be a huge hassle for small business owners, not to mention incredibly time consuming. Small business owners already have a lot of responsibilities to deal with, they shouldn’t have to worry about wasting so much time and energy on payroll management.
Fortunately there are online payroll solutions for this very reason. Managing your payroll online can save a lot of time, and involves much less annoying paperwork and calculations.
Take a look at the comparisons between online payroll management online, and filling out paperwork manually:

Online payroll management will save a great deal of time for any business, no matter the size, but it is particularly effective for large businesses. As a matter of comparison, doing payroll for 10 employee would take 15 minutes online, but would take one hour and 50 minutes manually. For 20 employees, online payroll would take 30 minutes, while manual would take three hours and 40 minutes. Payroll for 50 employees would take one hour and 15 minutes online, but would take a whopping 9 hours and 10 minutes to do manually.
It’s just not worth it to throw away so much time that could be better used elsewhere, on other tasks. Online payroll software can do the bulk of the work for you, saving you time and energy.
