The number of options for payroll is growing exponentially, in our view there are some simple rules which a company can apply which will reduce their risk

• Avoid suppliers who have just entered the market, IMS has been developing and supporting payroll for over 30 years.

• Choose a specialist provider – we firmly believe that payroll is too important to be treated as a module of your accounting software

• Choose a payroll solution that offers more functionality than you need – businesses start small and grow and you will benefit by selecting software solutions that can grow with you. Companies with 2 employees to 3000 employees run IMS Payroll.

• Desktop or Cloud based – choose a provider that offers both and allows you to move freely between the 2 environments. If you select a Cloud Only Environment – make sure that you can access your data should you cease with the service.

• Mobile Communication Services are the way of the future – Over time there will be an expectation that employees will send & receive employment related information via mobile apps. Ensure that your new provider has already made a start on the technology or has plans to…it will move quickly.

• Configurable – Every business is not identical it is important to be able to configure the system and turn on/off required functionality.

• Multiple companies – add another payroll company without incurring another complete set of costs.

• If Integration with Timeclock/Roster System s and your Financial System is important ensure the payroll software your choose as the ability – We offer integration with every commonly support Financial and Time & Attendance System available in New Zealand.
