Technology to Manage Your Payroll On the Go

For Small and Medium Enterprises, setting powerful processes to strengthen their internal working mechanisms and methodologies is crucial.

For any SME or for that matter even bigger organisations, people are the crucial most element and managing people is a full time job and one of the high priority items on the HR leads's list. Related with people, one of the most time consuming activities which is repetitive in nature monthly is managing payroll. Yes, employee salaries are crucial as they are one of the key motivators for any human and hence managing it becomes crucial for the organisation.

I use a CRM application to manage my payroll, what next?
Good question! what next! The next is: payroll on your mobile device. Yes, with the recent iPhone and iPAD devices taking the markets by storm its payroll apps are emerging and users are at first hand experiencing the idea of managing payrolls on the go!

One of the recent examples of such an app is Automatic Data Processing's RUN, which was launched for the iPhone and iPod Touch and will soon arrive for the iPad. The first of such apps called, Sure Payroll and intuit online payroll have now targeted small business owners citing efficient and quick payroll handling, while on the move, right on their devices hence making payroll mobile!


But are these apps free?
The apps are free but at the back-end you may have to use their own online payroll management services, which is again a strategic decision your small business needs to see and look into, since these apps are fairly new in the market and also scalability is a thought.

What should I do?
For start-ups and other smaller businesses, we suggest payroll management on the go is an intelligent thing to do, as you don't have to actually invest time (while running your emerging enterprise) into payroll management exclusively on the computer anymore. You can take it as a task and manage your payroll on the go, even while you are traveling.

  1. I always recommend outsource payroll.For your small business your staff will be freed of routine payroll responsibilities. As a result, your staff can now concentrate on their specific tasks and roles in your business, leading to possible business excellence. Your business will become more competent and flexible to deal with business difficulties in the future.
