What questions to ask when getting quotes?

The best way to get the right payroll solution for your company is to make sure you ask Paycor what their suggestions are for companies of your size and industry. They serve a large variety of customers from many different sectors so they have the expertise to help you figure out the perfect solution for your business. Ask them what types of new innovations they use for data entry – mobile solutions are becoming very frequent nowadays and in addition to your basic payroll package you can also ask for perks that make it easier for your staff to do their jobs. Another important thing you need to find out is how much liability they accept for your taxes. If the process is largely automated, then they will likely take more responsibility, but you are still required to check and verify the details before submitting.

Larger or smaller companies?

Paycor can service companies from all different sizes. They have tailor-made solutions for small businesses and entrepreneurial ventures and they also cater to large industries with a complete suite of payroll processing services.
