Payroll Outsourcing Service For Chinese Companies

What Should be Included in Payroll Management?

The typical payroll comes into four forms:

• Basic salary: the basic cash compensation paid by the employer for the workload taken by the employee, which is the reflection of the value of skills or job difficulty. However, it may ignore the individual differences among employees. The basic salary can be adjusted based on the overall standard of living or inflation, the further enrichment of the employee’s experience, the improvement of employee’s performance, and the enhancement of skills;
  
• Performance pays: the recognition of previous work behavior and achievements. As the addition to the basic salary, performance pays are often adjusted in response to the employee’s performance;
  
• Incentive salary: incentive salary is also related to employee’s performance and it is also regarded as variable wages, including short-term and long-term incentive salary. Short-term incentive salary is usually applied under specific performance situations, while long-term incentive salary focuses on the long-term goals of the organization such as employee return, market share, and net asset income.
  
• Other benefits and welfares: may include holidays and vacations, job-related supporting (medical allowance, staff canteen support, etc.), holiday rewards, and insurances. And it is becoming more popular and important in the payroll services.

Why Should You Outsource Payroll Management?

Who Should Consider Outsourcing Their Payroll Management?

There are many reasons that a company choose to outsource their payroll management and even the whole Human Resource department to third-party professional service providers. In general, the following types of companies will prefer to partner with payroll service agencies than building their own in-house team:

• Start-up companies or small and medium-sized enterprises: for a company employing only dozens of people, it is becoming more difficult for them to hire their own human resource managers due to the cost limitation, especially when managing payroll is included. It can be a waste of time and put more labor burden on the operation of the company.
  
• Branch companies in China of an overseas company: when designing payroll system, it is important to consider the local laws and regulations, which can be different from that in the country of the overseas headquarters. In this case, companies tend to work together with a local agency for a better understanding of local requirements.
  
• Companies with high employee turnover: companies in the industry of retailers, insurance selling, and general labor could employee thousands of staffs who work in different types of contracts, such as unfixed term contracts, short-term contracts, long-term contracts, or just verbal agreements, which cannot be handled by only a few payroll specialists. Partnering with payroll management agencies will help cut the cost.
