Frequently asked questions

Although both payroll options help offload the burden of payroll processing, they do so to differing degrees. On the one hand, a managed payroll service invites a partner to organize, manage, and execute your payroll processing in conjunction with your HR/payroll team. Payroll outsourcing, on the other hand, completely offloads payroll tasks to a partner, freeing your employees to handle other projects. Our Ceridian professionals are proud to offer both services, so reach out to us to learn more.

Managed payroll services will free up valuable time for your HR and finance employees so they can focus on other high-priority projects. Since payroll is a continuous process, the benefits of third-party managed payroll support compound with time. If you’d like to approximate how much time, money, and resources you could save with managed payroll support, contact our Ceridian team today. With our ROI tool, we can give you targeted estimations to help with your organization’s decision.

Payroll outsourcing services should offer a unified system for managing payroll processing tasks. You should also look for a vendor that keeps up with industry standards, changing requirements, and taxation rules. Our payroll professionals use Dayforce to help customize your payroll strategy, handle your payroll needs, and generate reports for your review.

Managed payroll services operate with an umbrella contract that includes smaller tasks and projects. Our certified payroll professionals provide procedural standardization, Dayforce-powered payroll processing, and scalable pay tracking. You can also expect off-cycle processing, garnishment administration, tax filing, coordination of termination coverage, and more.
