How much do outsourced payroll services cost?
+
Outsourced payroll services typically cost $300 to $600 per month for a small business, depending on headcount and how often you run payroll. Bundled with broader HR support, payroll is usually included in a fractional HR retainer starting at $1,800 per month. Standalone payroll management with a provider like Bevel HR generally runs $300 to $600 per month plus your payroll platform fees.
What does outsourced payroll management include?
+
Outsourced payroll management typically includes running each payroll cycle, calculating wages and overtime, handling payroll tax filing and deposits, managing direct deposit, tracking PTO accruals, producing pay stubs, year-end W-2 and 1099 processing, and keeping you compliant with multi-state payroll requirements. Bevel HR manages payroll on platforms like Gusto, Rippling, and ADP.
Can you handle multi-state payroll?
+
Yes. Multi-state payroll is one of the most common reasons businesses outsource. Each state you employ in creates its own registration, tax, and reporting obligations, and getting it wrong is costly. Bevel HR manages multi-state payroll and keeps every jurisdiction compliant.
Do you handle payroll for hourly and field workers?
+
Yes. We have deep experience with hourly, field, and blended workforces, including construction and trades crews, prevailing wage, and certified payroll. This is exactly the kind of complex payroll that trips up generic providers.
What payroll platforms do you work with?
+
We manage payroll on Gusto, Rippling, ADP, and BambooHR. We help you choose the right platform for your business, set it up correctly, and run it for you, so you get the benefit of the software without having to manage it yourself.
Is outsourcing payroll cheaper than hiring someone?
+
For most small businesses, yes. A full-time payroll or HR administrator costs $50,000 or more per year fully loaded. Outsourced payroll management runs a few hundred dollars a month, and bundled into fractional HR you get payroll plus compliance, onboarding, and employee relations for far less than a single hire.
