In fact, we can measure much of our business success in terms of the viability of business relationships. Relationship health is directly affected by the quality of communication. Use the following steps to achieve communication success and to strengthen your critical busine
Service Stinks. Payroll service is all about service. If you don’t perceive that your business receives good service then you probably aren’t getting good service. Payroll service providers know that their level of service has to be extremely high. Are you getting what you were promised? Too often salespeople promise what production can’t deliver. Are your problems addressed, and more importantly solved, immediately. If your account has been overdrafted and you don’t get your money back in two business days or less you are not getting good service.
Cost too High. Are you paying more than you should? How do you tell? Get some quotes. There are a number of free quote services on line. Google "Payroll quotes" and go from there. Many times your payroll company will negotiate with you if you feel the price is too high, but not always. Remember also that the major payroll companies have a revenue maximization process. They will quote you a price to get your business. There used to be right on the Paychex contract a line called WIT for the salesperson to fill in. WIT stood for “Whatever it Takes”. The salesperson would give any concession to get the payroll business. Then the local office would stealthily increase the price every payroll or every few payrolls until it reached the maximum level the local office thought it could sustain.
The other thing a lot of payroll companies do is quote you prices but don’t tell you what is not included in that price. Things like a cost for: each hire, each termination, each report, each new report, each non standard report, each W2, each W2 reprint, tax service, phone entry, year end reports, unnecessary CDs, access fees, monthly fees and so on. Also if they give you a “discount” to get your business it can easily vanish.

Create & Maintain an Appropriate Culture Culture is important in any organization but to have the appropriate attitude of honesty and high ethical standards is important to prevent fraud. Management must demonstrate this model by providing a tone at the top emphasis on this culture. After setting the tone, management must follow up on this commitment by hiring the right people for the job and ensuring that their hiring policies are effective at eliminating those people that do not meet the standards set by the culture. The hiring process should entai

Do you run a business that is centered on other businesses? If so, you likely offer services that many businesses and business owners need.

Voicemail service is essential to any business owner, which means that it should be an essential part of your own business, but what if you don't already have voice mail service set up?When it come

Elliot Spitzer has filed bogus lawsuits and extorted billions from highly reputable companies. To date he has extorted over 3 Billion in fines from mutual fund companies alone. Where is the money? The case against Bank of America; Bogus says jury. I could not agree more. No consumers or investors were harmed only American Mutual Fund Companies which help to capitalize America.The State Attorney General owes the business community an apology. But where is the money. We need a Sarbaines Oxley accounting down to the paper clips. I hereby demand an accounting. Where did all

Too many errors. Errors are inevitable when humans handle the payroll. If your service is making too many then you may choose to leave what ever the cost. Errors cost you in time and morale if not in actual dollars. Does your payroll provider try to fix blame for an error or do they just fix it. They should just fix it! If it really is your error and you admit it, expect a fee. If you think it is their problem and say so, they should take responsibility regardless of what they think. Does your payroll provider call you if they see something strange or do they just do it their way? If they do it their way you know they are not concerned enough about you to make a phone call or send an email.
Every employee of every client looks at payroll and needs for it to be perfect. It won't be, but it needs to be as close as possible
No help with the IRS. Does your payroll service when presented with a letter from the IRS tell you to call your CPA? Shame on them. The IRS will send you letters. The IRS makes mistakes. The IRS will not fix their mistakes unless and until you can prove to them they are wrong. Many times even if you made the mistake a good negotiator can get the IRS to remove the penalties and sometimes the interest. I can’t tell you how many penalties in the last fifteen years I have had abated simply by contacting the IRS in a professional manner and knowing what to say and how to say it.
