Again, if you really owned a business, you would know that nothing in business costs nothing. Electronic systems break down, data is entered wrong by employees, HR people spend time explaining the paperwork to set up the deductions, print or buy the forms that are signed for the deductions, all those deductions add hours to accounting and audit procedures. Payroll employees spent hours on the phone explaining deductions. IT people have to spend hours debugging the deduction system with every upgrade. Someone has to take the time to file the deduction paperwork. Someone has to take the time to shred that paperwork when the employee quits or retires. Someone has to print up a list to send to the union of all the changes in employment. Someone has to field questions from the union about discrepancy.
And that's just what I can think of off the top of my head.
And if you owned the business that you say you do, you'd have thought of them too.
Hello dinosaur, ever hear of redundancy?
Hello dinosaur, it's 2015, payroll departments are completely automated, as a matter of fact, my payroll department for 300+ employees is one person, and the ONLY reason she's there is fixing human error.
A whole 300 people?...How big do you think the payroll department is for the state of Louisiana? Do you think they are completely automated?
Or do you think they are a huge bureaucracy that have hard copies every form in triplicate?
Yes. Every State is automated.
Looks like a huge bureaucracy to me.
