Cloud Payroll Software: The Future of Payroll Processing

Henry Sack • March 8, 2023

As technology continues to evolve, businesses are shifting towards cloud-based solutions to streamline their operations. One area that has seen significant improvement is payroll management. With the introduction of cloud-based payroll software, businesses can now automate their payroll processing and eliminate the need for manual data entry.


This article will cover the key benefits of cloud payroll software and how it can help businesses save time, and money, and reduce the stress of managing payroll internally.


What is Different About Cloud Payroll Software?

Cloud payroll software is different from traditional payroll systems because it runs in the cloud, allowing businesses to access their payroll data and process payments remotely. This minimises the need for manual data entry and provides an improved level of accuracy for payroll information. Additionally, cloud-based software can be integrated with other business systems such as accounting and HR platforms, which makes it easier to keep track of payroll information.


Benefits of Cloud Payroll Software


The primary benefit of cloud-based payroll software is that it simplifies payroll processing and saves businesses time and money. By automating the payroll process, businesses can reduce the amount of paperwork and data entry required for each employee’s pay run.


For growing businesses, the process of onboarding new employees and managing payroll can be time-consuming. Cloud payroll software helps streamline this process by allowing users to follow simple employee set-up processes, ensure records are cross-checked and validated and that employee salaries, rates and awards, as well as deductions and entitlements, are all calculated correctly.


Modern cloud payroll software, like Infinet Cloud for NetSuite, supports accounting and payroll team members by automating these labour-intensive processes and providing more accurate real-time insights into payroll costs.



Top 10 Benefits of Cloud Payroll Software for Growing Businesses


Increased Efficiency


Cloud payroll software automates the payroll process, reducing manual data entry and the risk of errors. This leads to increased efficiency and a reduction in payroll processing time. By automating tasks such as salary calculation and generating payslips, businesses can allocate resources to other essential business functions.


Cost-Effective


Cloud payroll software eliminates the need for expensive hardware and software, reducing the overall cost of payroll management. With cloud payroll software, businesses can pay for only what they need, making it an affordable solution for small and medium-sized enterprises.


Scalability


Cloud payroll solutions are scalable, making it easy to add or remove employees as needed. Cloud payroll software is usually priced by employee count. This is particularly useful for growing businesses or small businesses that only need to manage a small number of employees. As the business grows, your automated payroll system can scale accordingly without any disruption.


Accessibility


With cloud payroll software, payroll information is accessible from anywhere, at any time. This is particularly useful for remote workers who may not have access to a physical payroll system. With cloud payroll software, employees can access their payroll information from anywhere, as long as they have an internet connection.


Data Security


Cloud payroll software providers typically have robust security measures in place to protect sensitive payroll information. With encrypted data transfer and storage, businesses can ensure that payroll data is secure and protected from unauthorised access.


Compliance


Cloud payroll software providers stay up to date with payroll regulations and ensure that businesses are compliant with payroll laws and regulations. With constantly changing regulations, it is essential for businesses to stay up to date and compliant with payroll laws. Cloud payroll software ensures that businesses are always up to date with the latest regulations.


Customisable


Cloud payroll software can be customised to meet the unique needs of businesses, making it a flexible solution. From setting up payroll schedules to creating custom reports, businesses can tailor the system to meet their specific requirements.


Real-Time Reporting


Cloud payroll software provides real-time reporting, allowing businesses to stay on top of their payroll and make informed decisions. With real-time access to payroll data, businesses can identify trends and anomalies, helping them make data-driven decisions.


Integration Options


Cloud payroll software can be integrated with other HR management tools such as Bundy Clocks and time tracking software, making it easy to manage payroll alongside other business functions. Integration with other systems can improve efficiency and reduce errors.


Improved Employee Satisfaction


With cloud payroll software, like Infinet Cloud, employees gain access to an automated self-managed payroll portal that contains their payroll information, payslips, and PAYG Summary Statements, improving transparency and employee satisfaction. Employees can view and access their payroll information at any time, leading to improved satisfaction and reduced administrative burden for the HR department.

Access Anytime, Anywhere



Online payroll processing offers businesses the convenience of any time, anywhere access to payroll information. This is particularly useful for remote workers who may not have access to a physical payroll system. With cloud-based payroll software, online payroll processing is made even more convenient.


Cloud Payroll Software Opens the Door to Payroll as a Service


Because online payroll software can be accessed anywhere, outsourcing your payroll processing becomes a possibility because your Payroll as a Service partner doesn't need to connect to an on-premise solution. With Payroll as a Service, businesses can outsource their payroll processing and receive a wide range of services, including payroll calculations and PAYG withholding calculating. This opens up the door to increased savings and efficiency and minimises internal administrative burden.
