Entering the entrepreneurial fray can be extremely exciting—but chaotic. With limited resources, tight budgets, and a lean team of individuals who must do multiple tasks at once, startups must discover creative, efficient methods to run their business. One of the most critical tasks is handling employee compensation, which, if mishandled, will lead to unhappy employees, problems with compliance, and money losses.
This is where payroll software acts as a rescuer. With the management of salary calculations, tax deductions, compliance activities, and payments, payroll software keeps startups in check and on their toes.
