Benefits Benefits of automating the payroll onboarding system: o Accurate tax management, compliance and reporting o Time and Efficiency o Ease of access to internal and external payroll information
Benefits Rationale o Accurate tax management, compliance and reporting – This is one of the more complex processes of conducting payroll. This information needs to be precise and accurate before payroll is fully processed. AIS helps automatically calculate this to the best accurate numbers for compliance o Time and Efficiency – Manual calculations take time and precision. Using an AIS cuts down the time by automating compensation calculations, deductions, and benefits. o Ease of access to internal and external payroll information – “With this system, the hr team can easily create, implement and outline need-based and unique payroll models inside the set budget” (L, 2022).

Drawbacks Rationale o Security Risks – It is crucial to vet the security measures an automated payroll system takes since employee information is stored and processed through the third- party. There is no 100% guarantee, especially with the amount of personal information store (SSN, banking info, etc.). o Potential extra costs - AIS are typically less of an expenditure than fully outsourcing, but many will charge per employee and features offered.
