Helpful Tips To Consider Before Switching Your Payroll Software

If you're tired of the Human ResourceManagement provider that you're currently using, and are considering using a different payroll service, then consider these tips.

• Wait Before You Cancel Your Old Payroll Service: Just in case something happens with your new payroll system. You would hate to not be able to pay your workers because you're still required to submit information before the new system will work.
• When To Cancel: The best time to move your payroll service is either at the start of a new year or at least a new quarter if you cannot wait that long. The less you have to carry over to the new payroll system the better, and the smoother you can dump your old service for your shiny new one.(sounds a bit like high school, eh?)
• Make It a Clean Break: You need to pay all your outstanding taxes and get any forms filed you need to because generally your new service provider will not take on the liabilities of your previous payroll service provider.
• If You Don't Cancel at a New Year or Quarter: Keep all your payroll records before you switch for your new provider. They will need that information if you're changing services in the middle of the year.
• Where Are They Located?: One important thing to consider is if you know where they are located at. If they are national you may not have the same benefits a local organization may have. If you're not doing direct deposit you may have problems getting checks mailed out to people if they are in a different state than your payroll service provider
• How is Their Customer Service?: Always consider this option BEFORE you make the move. Don't be afraid to call their customer service line to make sure there are real people to assist your customers. While you may be saving on your costs not having an efficient customer service provider could cost you your business leads.
• System Thresholds: If you're a larger corporation, and you change to a cheaper payroll service, make sure they can accommodate your business. If they can only support 50 employees, and your company supports 500 workers, you will be in trouble.
• Last But Not Least: Make sure you only have one company at a time doing your year-end forms such as your W-2s. If you cancel your services from your previous payroll provider make sure they don't file a W-2 at the end of the year.

Please do your research when switching your payroll providers, and always make sure your new service can not only do what your old one could, but with more benefits or a cheaper cost at the same benefits. Make sure that the human resource management system you hire is a great fit for your company. Payrollbuilder is always ready to support your business so check out our site and sign up with us today!

Online Payroll News: Notebook theft leaks London police payroll data

This person could be calling you for your information, don't let them have it!

Taken from: http://news.cnet.com/Notebook-theft-leaks-London-police-payroll-data/2110-7348_3-6137929.html?

Three laptops containing payroll details for London's Metropolitan Police have been stolen from LogicaCMG, a British IT services company. The burglary took place on Thursday evening, but was discovered by staff at Logica's London offices on Friday morning. Approximately half of the Metropolitan Police's employees are thought to have been affected. The police force is in the process of notifying its workers of the theft.

Logica processes the Metropolitan Police payroll and pensions. The Metropolitan Police declined to comment on exactly what details had been stolen, or confirm how many employees had been affected, because of the ongoing investigation. Sources close to the inquiry claimed that the laptops contained the payroll and pension details of more than 15,000 Metropolitan Police officers.

Does this look a little fishy to anyone else but me?
I find that usually when people can get in right at the moment a shift change is occurring, there is usually two reasons:
1) It was an inside job
2) They've been watching the place and figured out their patterns

I see the first reason being the most plausible because most good police officers would notice if someone was watching their precinct since they're used to doing their own stakeouts and the like for catching criminals. This excerpt says they found the guy, but it still looks a little fishy,

"A man has been arrested in connection with the burglary, which police believe was opportunistic, not targeted, and perpetrated by somebody external to the company."

 So one man sneaks into the police department during a shift change, and takes 3 laptops...Something's not adding up and I think more people are involved in this than they're letting on.

What do you think? Was this an isolated incident, or part of something bigger?

Time Clock Review: 3 Free Time Clocks for Your Website or log

If you're in the market looking for a time clock for your blog or website, look no further than these 3 websites:
http://www.worldtimeserver.com/clocks/wtsclock001.aspx
http://24timezones.com/online_clock.php and
http://www.freebloghitcounter.com/free-web-clock

All offer pretty much the same thing(a free clock) and have great customization options, but are also very different in not only their layout, but their presentation.

First, I'll be reviewing Worldtimeserver.com:

Site image for Payrollbuilder Online Service Blog

Their list of parameters is relatively small, only allowing you to change the size, color, and location. The clock is transferred to your website or blog with html code. As an added bonus to the not-so-steller clock, they give blog assistance in what they call "hints for popular blog hosts."

The site is relatively well made, with an extremely easy-to-use interface and complementary color scheme.

Final Verdict: Not a bad site for a free clock, but not a particularly unique one either. Final score 5/10

Next, we have 24timezones.com:

Site Image for Payrollbuilder Human Resource Management Blog

Now we're cooking! This site offers a digital option as well as the standard analog clock, as well as a Time Banner, which shows random times from around the world. It's interesting, but the uses are limited.

Final Verdict: This site has a leg up on Worldtimeserver, but not by much. With the addition of the digital and Time Banner, it beats it's competitor. 7/10

Finally, the last site we're going to be reviewing is Freebloghitcounter.com:

Site image for Payrollbuilder Payroll Software Program Blog

Wow, is all I can say. For a free clock this site has it all. Different shines, number styles, lines, and even themes all make a very high-quality time clock. No digital option, but a clock is a clock, am I right?

Final Verdict: This one I like the most out of the three, but the lack of a digital clock still keeps it from being perfect. 9/10

We hope you find one of these clocks useful, and be sure to give them social media credit if you do use them. They're all great websites and have great free services for anyone who takes the time to visit!
