I think it is a good to outsource such work as it wastes time of the employees that can be utilized at work. Moreover it is not even much expensive.

In our experience, small- and medium-size businesses outsource payroll most often for these important reasons:
1) Avoid IRS Penalties
According to the IRS, 40% of small businesses pay an average penalty of $845 per year for late or incorrect filings. Most national payroll services provide a tax guarantee, ensuring that customers will incur no penalties because the provider takes responsibility for penalties when they do occur. In many instances, this cost-saving immediately justifies outsourcing payroll.
2) Reduce Costs
The direct costs of processing payroll can be greatly reduced by working with a payroll provider. Our research indicates that a small business of 10 employees will typically spend $2,600 per year in direct labor costs associated with payroll.
3) Alleviate Pain
Payroll is a headache in the best case and a nightmare in the worst case. Business owners who outsource payroll eliminate a tiresome source of personal pain.
4) Offer Direct Deposit
Providing direct deposit is difficult if a company doesn't use an outside payroll service. Increasingly, small businesses recognize that employees want direct deposit. Not having to make a trip to the bank is an important convenience for them. More importantly for business owners, direct deposit eliminates time-consuming and error-prone paper handling and the need to reconcile individual payroll checks every month.
5) Free Up Free Time
Payroll processing is a time-consuming process. Outsourcing payroll can free up staff time to pursue more important value-added and revenue-generating activities.
6) Avoid Technology Headaches
A constant question for small business owners is whether they have the latest version of their payroll software and the most recent tax tables installed on their computer. Using the wrong tax tables can result in stiff penalties. Outsourcing payroll removes those headaches and keeps payroll running smoothly.
7) Leverage Outside Payroll Expertise
Most business owners and controllers don't have time to keep up with constantly changing regulations, withholding rates, and government forms. By outsourcing payroll, a small business can take advantage of expertise that was previously available only to big companies.
8) Avoid Payroll Knowledge Walking Out the Door
If your bookkeeper or controller gets a new job, they will walk out the door with their knowledge of the payroll process and how you do it. Using an outside service eliminates that business risk.

Hello
Payroll is something every business must deal with, it is a legal obligation when you have employees. There are three acceptable alternatives to managing payroll. There is manual calculation of payroll, using a payroll software, or payroll outsourcing. Businesses will need to consider the time and cost involved in each of these options, as well as the knowledge requirements and whether that knowledge is possessed or would need to be learned.
Low cost is considered to be a benefit of manually doing the payroll in house, however, if you need to employ a wage clerk in order to do the payroll, the benefit of low cost may be reduced. Also you need to consider if those hours you're paying for may not be better used in another department.
The purchase of payroll software can dramatically reduce the time needed to prepare payroll as opposed to the manual method. You do need to ensure that your payroll software will take into account all the mandatory deductions for each employee, as well as any tax code changes.

Hi, I think payroll outsourcing is good for the companies with a high number of employees. Small businesses can mange it easily on their own.
