Managed Payroll for 75-Employee Businesses

Managed payroll at $25-$45 PEPM all-inclusive makes financial sense across a wide range of business sizes. The ROI is strongest when compared to the real alternative: a fully loaded in-house hire.

Which Size Sees the Best ROI?

The strongest ROI on managed payroll is in the 10-50 employee range. At this size, you cannot justify a full-time in-house hire (nor the payroll software license, training, and single-point-of-failure risk), but the compliance requirements are already complex enough to warrant specialist handling.

At 50-100 employees, some businesses begin considering a hybrid model: an HR generalist for employee relations and managed payroll for the compliance-heavy processing function.
