Switching Payroll Providers Mid-Year: Why You Should Change to The Payroll Shoppe

For more than a decade, we’ve worked hard to convert clients whenever it’s most convenient to them—including in the middle of the year.

Since day one (read about our full history to learn more), we’ve believed in allowing businesses to join us at any time, be it the middle of February, the beginning of August, or the end of September.

And our process is always the same: We do all the work.

But why do companies switch providers in the middle of the year, and what does the process actually look like?

Top 5 Reasons for Switching Payroll Provides

There are many reasons for changing your payroll provider in the middle of the year, but here are five of the most common reasons our customers switch to us for our complete payroll service:

1. Customer Service

The big box payroll shops aren’t known for customer service, and one phone call reveals why: You’re often stuck in long wait lines, only to receive assistance from someone who isn’t a true payroll expert.

2. Accuracy

Employees and the company checkbook don’t have tolerance for inaccuracies, and a single mistake by your payroll provider can be enough to crack any sort of trust the relationship has established. And repeated mistakes only make things even worse.

3. Compliance

The payroll process demands compliance with local, state, and federal regulations. One mistake with a single regulatory body can lead to costly audits, fines, and general headaches that can last for weeks, months, or even years.

4. Technology

Your payroll provider should have the latest technologies to keep up with regulatory changes and unique payroll requests. Obsolete technology can make your provider a nightmare to deal with.

5. Value

Many of our customers come to us because they feel like they weren’t getting enough value from their previous payroll provider. Instead, they paid their monthly fee and received low-quality customer service and poor performance.

4 Benefits of Switching to The Payroll Shoppe

When our customers finally switch to us, they quickly unlock four major benefits. That includes:

1. A Dedicated Specialist

At The Payroll Shoppe, we believe in outstanding customer service. That’s why you receive a dedicated specialist with a direct phone number. No more wait lines. No more bouncing around from representative to representative. Just outstanding support.

2. We’re Local

Our office is in Sewickley, PA, only 15 miles northwest of downtown Pittsburgh. When you call The Payroll Shoppe, you’re not sent to some call center overseas; you’re sent to a dedicated, US-based representative invested in your success.

3. Customization

We pride ourselves in our flexibility, and we’re always eager to customize our payroll process to meet your specific business requirements. Get rid of cookie cutter payrolls and jump into a process that works for you and your team members.

4. The Extra Mile

We believe in going the extra mile to ensure you receive outstanding service. Two quick examples:

• We verify your tax numbers. Instead of relying on data passed along from your previous payroll provider, we confirm your EIN with the IRS, your state withholding number (SIT) from the department of revenue, your state unemployment number (SUI) and the current year’s rate, and your local and LST codes.
• We simplify your W-2s. We provide a W-2 at the end of the year as if you were with us all year long—so you don’t need to worry about providing multiple W-2s to your employees!

Switching Payroll Providers: Our Conversion Process

It doesn’t matter if you’ve been calculating your payroll yourself, using Quickbooks, or collaborating with a CPA firm. Our conversion process is always the same, and it revolves around four major steps:

• Step 1: We come to your establishment and review questions specific to your payroll.
• Step 2: We provide an itemized list of everything we need—then collect those items.
• Step 3: We enter all necessary data.
• Step 4: We begin processing your payroll!

It’s that easy!
