As a company, you can only remain operating if you stay in compliance with government regulations and policies that are applicable to your industry and your market. As you ensure compliance, you will see that labor welfare is one of every regulatory body. Now, timely and accurate processing of payroll is part of these compliance regulations.
According to a study from the American Payroll Association (APA), the error rate for the total payroll of companies using traditional payroll processing systems is up at 8%. This means that manually processing your payroll makes room for a lot of miscalculations. And that can mess up your business’ finances and the corresponding paperwork.
Fortunately, accounting technology has adapted to reduce these errors. You can ensure that your employees’ payroll is always right on track through cloud accounting. Xero is one of the cloud accounting tools that offers automated payroll. Here are some of the plus sides of using Xero to automate payroll processing:
