Outsourcing the payroll function is gaining traction within the UAE business community, particularly among small and medium businesses that cannot sustain a full-time HR or payroll division because it is not vital to the entity's operation and is unlikely to be a full-time employee. Depending on where an entity is in its life cycle, outsourcing the function may be a good idea until the dedicated resource can be justified.
Listed below are the key factors for outsourcing payroll services in Dubai and why this makes sense to an organization.
Cost-effective
The majority of outsourced payroll services pay employees per month. Some companies demand a flat charge regardless of the number of employees. The entity's outsourced cost is this modest, especially if the number of employees is under 25, and the cost of recruiting a full-time employee is substantially higher.
In addition to a base income, a full-time employee must be given a visa, end-of-service benefits, leave encashment, and other incentives, all of which raise the cost of payroll processing.
Reduced Burden:
If the payroll processing activity is outsourced to an external third party, the organization does not need to focus on these activities, allowing it to focus on its primary business.
Confidentiality of payroll
Payroll confidentiality is frequently misunderstood and undervalued. Payroll information disclosed to individuals whether purposefully or unintentionally, can have serious consequences.
Sincere and dedicated employees who are paid less than those who are not as dedicated or committed can become discouraged, leading them to leave or adopt a "less than interested" attitude in the future.
Optimal use of resources
Every company's payroll processing is an ongoing operation. Depending on the Company's activity and the complexity of its operations, getting the payroll right each month and on schedule may take a significant amount of time and work.
When financial reporting is mandated by owners and shareholders, vendors are to be paid, customers are to be chased for payments, and other such routine tasks, an accountant already stressed with routine accounting, accounts receivable, and payable functions may face severe time constraints at the month's end.
Data security
The outsourced agency maintains data security at a higher level than the organization's in-house staff. Payroll data on a corporate server is likely to be accessed by unauthorized persons. Lack of attention on the part of those handling sensitive payroll data to maintain confidentiality can be detrimental to the interests of the organization. Salary data hosted outside the work environment of an organization can prevent such incidents to some extent.
An outsourced service provider is more careful about client data, data access is protected, shared based on the required knowledge, and backed up regularly, assuring their clients to protect their reputation as a service provider. Therefore, data is more secure and secure in a securely sourced model.
Professional Payroll Service
Outsourcing payroll services is entrusting the task to qualified and experienced individuals. UAE auditing services and payroll service companies hire people that are well-versed in payroll processing as well as the related laws and regulations, as well as the compliance needs. In the outsourced approach, there is also a significantly lower risk of payroll fraud, especially if there is no internal division of payroll responsibilities.
Outsourced payroll providers also bring their knowledge and solutions to the table, which they may have gained from working with other clients
