Cut Costs and Increase Productivity: Using Shared Services and Common Paymaster

Employees interact with numerous service-oriented departments during the course of their work life.

These departments include payroll, human resources, compensation, benefits and even accounts payable. Each separate interaction wastes precious company time. Employees desiring services must visit the individual departments, make separate phone calls and e-mails, and complete multiple forms with sometimes redundant general information. Service employees must also spend time completing forms and making calls. In addition, service employees must also enter information in multiple data bases, seek reviews and obtain approvals. The process results in erosion of employee morale, productivity and your company's bottom line. This OnDemand Webinar demonstrates a positive way to improve these processes by consolidating all of them into one "shared services" environment. Establishing a common paymaster, in conjunction with a shared services environment or alone, can cut costs on social security, Medicare, FUTA and in some cases, SUI taxes. This IRS permitted method can allow two or more related corporations employing the same individual at the same time to be considered a single employer. By doing so, they pay no more in total social security and Medicare taxes than a single employer would pay. And paying less in taxes is always good for the company's bottom line.
