Thinking about switching payroll companies? Here are 6 signs it may be time for a change.

Your payroll provider should make running payroll easier, not create more work for your HR and finance teams.

Businesses often start looking for a new payroll provider when they experience:

-Poor customer support
-Outdated technology
-Limited integrations
-Rising costs
-Compliance concerns
-Limited scalability

What should you look for in a new payroll provider? Prioritize accurate payroll processing, integrated HR technology, a smooth implementation process, and responsive support from people who understand your business.

At ProLiant, we combine payroll and HR technology with dedicated support to help businesses simplify workforce management. Our team also supports clients through implementation and their first payrolls to help make the transition smoother.

Does ProLiant integrate with Toast? Yes. And for restaurants, that connection can make payroll and labor management much easier.

Restaurants rely on their POS system for critical workforce data, so why enter that information manually into payroll?

The Toast + ProLiant integration creates a two-way connection between your restaurant POS and payroll systems, helping automate the flow of important data.

With the integration, restaurants can connect:

-Employee work hours and tips
-Payroll and compensation details
-Sales commission tracking
-Tip pool calculations using sales and wage data

By connecting Toast and ProLiant, restaurants can reduce manual data entry, improve payroll accuracy, and streamline labor cost tracking and wage calculations.

If your restaurant uses Toast, your payroll system should work with it, not against it.

When small business owners search for payroll services, comparison lists dominate the results. Seven or ten providers lined up by price and feature count, as if the decision comes down to a spreadsheet.

But Forbes Advisor surveyed 50 SMB owners and finance leaders this year, and the findings told a different story: 36% ranked accuracy and compliance as the single most important factor in their decision, ahead of pricing. 92% said human support was essential or very important. And 50% said hidden fees were an instant dealbreaker, not because of cost, but because of trust.

Those three criteria rarely appear on feature comparison charts. Yet they determine whether a payroll provider actually works for your business 12 months from now.

After 30+ years of processing payroll for small and mid-size businesses, we've found that the features which matter most are the ones you only notice when they fail. Tax compliance that updates automatically when regulations change. A dedicated support contact who picks up on the first call during a pay cycle emergency. Verification testing that catches discrepancies before paychecks go out, not after.

If you're comparing payroll services right now, filter for those three things first. The pricing and feature grids will still be there once you've narrowed the field to providers that get the fundamentals right.
