We’ve never experienced service like we do from Horizon, and our dedicated payroll specialist, Stephanie, is unbelievable. There is a feeling of relief just knowing we have a true partner for payroll. If something unexpected comes up, Stephanie works with us and is still able to get payroll processed and direct deposits made – this flexibility is really the icing on the cake for us.”

Why Utilize a Payroll Partner for Your Business?
Payroll is a specialized service - you need someone that can handle it accurately and efficiently! Horizon has years of expertise with getting the job done right and taking the stress off our clients' shoulders.
Optimize Time, Resources, and Tax Benefits
Not every company has a designated payroll specialist on staff. If you are using your administrative team to do your payroll, (or worse yet, doing it yourself) you may be taking them away from more pressing tasks that require their attention. A payroll processing company will take care of all your payroll needs so your staff can focus on the important tasks they were hired to do.
Resources can also be optimized by hiring a payroll partner. Payroll can require specific software and equipment that can be expensive and take up memory on your computer only to be barely used by your employees. Payroll companies already have those resources available, saving you the time and expense of purchasing and maintaining the resources yourself.
Additionally, in some instances, businesses may get tax credits for their payroll expenses. For example, there is currently an employee retention credit and a work opportunity tax credit (WOTC) available through federal and state programs. Horizon’s dedicated payroll team will collect your payroll data, ensuring that your business gets the tax credits you are owed.
Add a Payroll and HR Team without Hiring
There are many benefits that come with hiring a payroll partner as opposed to an in-house payroll employee/team. Here are some things to consider:
Cost Savings: Hiring an employee means you must cover their payroll taxes. You will also likely have to provide them with health insurance, unemployment insurance, and more. Your payroll team will act as independent contractors, saving you money in the long run!
Employee Retention and Turnover: When you hire an employee, you spend a good amount of time searching for talent, as well as onboarding and training the worker. Then, you run the risk of them quitting or not working out. A payroll provider will not require any training or onboarding. And if there’s staff turnover, that’s their responsibility, not yours!
A Higher Level of Efficiency: When you hire someone to handle payroll in-house, you can’t always be sure of how efficient they will be. A payroll company that specializes in the industry will get the job done quickly and accurately.
Reduced Risk of Lawsuits: Employees have rights in the workplace. They are protected from injury, wrongful termination, discrimination, and harassment, wages, and more. While most employers would never purposely deny their employees of their rights, there are circumstances that can unexpectedly put you on the wrong side of the law. An outside payroll professional will never put you in a situation where you are at risk for a lawsuit concerning employee rights.
Free Up Time to Efficiently Run Your Business
Many business owners do their own payroll or have staff members do their payroll, even if they were hired to attend to other tasks. A payroll partner will take care of all your payroll needs so you and your staff have the time to effectively run your business.
Why Spend More Time Managing Your Workforce?
Managing your workforce is already difficult. Why spend even more time and money when you can get a payroll partner to take care of a good portion of these tasks?
