HR administrative expenses

Recruiting and staffing services, payroll processing, time and attendance, benefits—these are just a few essential HR processes in medium-large businesses. Many of them are outsourced to multiple vendors or to a new and all-encompassing level called professional employer organization (PEO).

As a result, workforce administration has become a growing HR indirect spend category and one to which CCM brings both breadth and depth of expertise to help you manage and control expenses.

Payroll processing

Payroll processing is an essential business task and one that companies often choose to outsource, especially employers with complex payroll needs. Exempt and nonexempt employees, remote workers governed by different regulations, various compliance and reporting requirements—every additional detail comes with additional costs. That’s why payroll processing is a focus area for CCM spend management support and guidance.

There are many vendor options, from large and established leaders like ADP to upstart online providers like Gusto. We can help you assess and select the best options for your needs and circumstances, allowing you to save money without jeopardizing employee satisfaction or regulatory compliance.

Ways to save on HR admin costs

Identify the payroll processing features you truly need versus extra services that benefit the provider more than you.

Assess and balance outsourcing options, and do it in-house to achieve spend targets.

Eliminate and reduce paper as much as possible, everything from the job application process to encouraging use of direct-deposit over paper paychecks.
