NorthgateArinso makes the desire of many international organizations for a flexible cross-border solution for the HR and Payroll administration reality through outsourcing. Our solution offer allows our clients to shift focus from administrative processes to the more core business related HR processes and transforms fixed cost components into variable cost components.
However, outsourcing HR and payroll isn’t only about cost reductions. Cost control may be very well be one of the strongest arguments for outsourcing HR & payroll, it is also complemented by arguments such as guaranteed quality levels, compliance with highest standards and benchmarks, international standardization, strict quality control, transparent HR reporting, and important time savings.
Outsourcing your payroll and HR can provide your business with a number of important benefits:
Improve quality and guarantee compliance
Calculating taxes and filing social security paperwork is more than a challenging taks. If it's done incorrectly, your business may face penalties and legal risks. Outsourcing payroll does away with the risk of many of these costs and risks because
NorthgateArinso calculates payroll taxes based on its expertise and close tracking of regulation changes, both locally and internationally. Also, we maintain a very focus on operational excellence as our service centers are audited on a regular basis to comply with SAS70 regulations, making them Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliant.
Mergers and acquisitions, new legislation and the possible introduction of the Euro in the UK are just some of the risks payroll faces. Payroll outsourcing allows you to hand over the responsibility for managing such risks to specialists with enough resources to monitor the situation and respond accordingly.
Save time & improve flexibility
Leaving payroll to specialists frees up hours that you can devote to supporting your core business. The time spent on payroll administration could be better spent winning more business, improving customer service, fine-tuning business operations or launching a new product line.
Because we invest heavily in technology, training and process development, we are better placed to deliver flexible services. For example, if your organization operates across multiple geographies, we may help you to deliver more HR processes – such as payslip delivery – electronically might be possible to reduce distribution costs and improve flexibility, not to mention to support a more sustainable environment.
Save money & benefit from scale
Payroll is essentially an overhead. Like all overheads, organizations will be keen to control payroll costs as much as possible. If resources can be freed up they can be invested elsewhere - in areas that can deliver more added value, such as product development and sales.
NorthgateArinso makes the cost of your payroll perfectly transparent, by proposing you a fee per employee per month, related to the services offered. Consequently, we enable you to move from fixed to variable costs. Outsourcing means that you replace the fixed cost of an in-house payroll function with variable and predictable costs.
No capital investment is needed when your organisation changes or grows. For example, if you encounter mergers or acquisitions, our service can change with you. You won't need to invest in new facilities or staff to handle the change.
Economies of scale mean we can deliver savings to you. Because we have a large market share, the cost of this investment is spread across the many payrolls we run so each customer benefits.
