One of the commonly agreed idea for making your business run smoothly is to make use of technological tools to automate common business tasks.

Managing Payroll of your business in one of the most critical yet time consuming activity. Thankfully, it is also quite easy to automate, given the right tools.

If you are using spreadsheets to manage your payroll, you are exposing your business to huge risks including:

  1. Risk of errors due to manual entry, formula copy-paste errors
  2. Risk of data leakage as excel file can be easily copied or mailed with all employee information including salary details
  3. Risk of compromising employee privacy by storing sensitive information like date of birth, address, phone, email etc. in unsafe manner

Apart from the risks above, you are also missing out on greater features that a payroll software can offer like:

  1. Analyzing salary data over a period of time,
  2. Ascertaining employee profile/promotion ageing,
  3. Storing employee data at one place for quick retrieval,
  4. Multiple users with differential rights to manage payroll

Typically, a payroll software gives you multiple benefits including:

  1. Timely disbursement of salary every month
  2. Accuracy in calculations which otherwise becomes complicated to adjust in case of errors
  3. Easy compliance to statutory laws like ESI, PF, Professional Tax, Income tax and more
  4. Greater employee satisfaction with increased transparency in processing

Given the above facts, it is needless to say that you should consider switching to a payroll software as soon as possible. It is also understandable that in early days of setting up a business, when your employee strength is low (below 10), it is easier to manage using a spreadsheet. However, switching to a software is never too early when you have bigger plans for future.
