Choosing a payroll provider isn’t just about cutting checks, it’s about choosing a partner who will support your business growth, reduce risk, and make your HR life easier.
As part of National Payroll Week, we’re sharing the top questions every HR leader should ask before signing with a payroll or HCM vendor.
Start With Strategy
Ask:
- “How does your solution scale as my business grows?”
- “Can your system integrate with the tools we already use (e.g. time tracking, benefits, accounting)?”
A good partner will support not only where you are right now, but where you’re going.
Get Into the Details
Ask:
- “What’s your process for staying compliant with federal, state, and local payroll laws?”
- “Do you offer support for multistate or remote teams?”
- "How often is your software updated, and how are we notified of changes?”
Modern payroll is about automation, compliance, and visibility.
Understand the People Behind the Tech
Ask:
- “Who handles our account?”
- “What happens if we need help on a deadline day?”
- “Can I talk to a real person when I have a question?”
Tech matters, but trusted service is what keeps clients from jumping ship. Make sure your partner delivers both.
The right payroll partner should feel like an extension of your HR team, not just a vendor. If your current provider doesn’t check these boxes, let’s talk.
We’d love to show you how a better partnership feels.
