Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about choosing the right payroll solution
In-house payroll software means you run your own payroll using SuperPayroll's platform (either cloud-hosted or on-premise), giving you full control and responsibility over all aspects of payroll administration like data capturing, verification, management reporting, and statutory reporting. For larger payrolls, this could be more cost effective, depending on the availability of internal payroll expertise and other factors.
Payroll outsourcing means SuperPayroll handles everything for you, effectively acting like your payroll department, but without the need to hire internal payroll staff. This is often more cost-effective for smaller payrolls as it eliminates the need for internal payroll expertise and frees up time from management to focus on core business activities.
Choose based on your business size, complexity, and preferences:
- For larger payrolls (200+ employees) who have internal payroll expertise and want to keep control: Consider payroll software
- For smaller payrolls or those wanting to focus on core business withou worring about payroll admin: Consider outsourcing
- If you are a service provider managing multiple client payrolls: Choose bureau software
- If you use SAP SuccessFactors and need African payroll: SuperPayroll can offer SAP SuccessFactors® integration both for in-house payroll software and outsourcing
- For multiple companies/countries: SuperPayroll offers multi-company, multi-country support
