Third-party Payroll

Efficient Payroll Solutions for Businesses


At Gather Recruitment, we understand the challenges and workload involved in managing payroll for businesses, especially for small to medium-sized organizations.

To alleviate this burden and streamline operations, we offer comprehensive Third-Party Payroll and Contractor Management services.

What is Third-Party Payroll?


  • Third-party payroll is a process in which a business delegates the responsibility of paying their employees to an external entity. Payrollservices are typically delivered by a separate company that specializes in meeting the payroll-related requirements of the business. This third-party provider is tasked with handling all aspects of employee pay calculations, filing and managing payroll taxes.
  • The third-party payroll provider usually assumes all traditional payroll duties, which include issuing paychecks, establishing direct deposits, and computing taxes. Additionally, they manage the completion and submission of federal, state, and local payroll taxes. These service providers offer a wide array of services, such as assisting with employee onboarding, managing employee contributions, and overseeing employee benefits administration.


How Does Third-Party Payroll Function?


  • The primary objective of the third-party payroll provider is to act as the intermediary between the employer and the employee in payment transactions. Once the employer finalizes payroll calculations for employees, the funds are transferred to the provider for further processing.
  • The provider is then responsible for handling payroll taxes and dispensing paychecks to employees accordingly. TPP providers also extend additional services, like employee onboarding, benefits management, and direct deposit setup.


Advantages of Third-Party Payroll


  • Third-party payroll offers several benefits for employers. It alleviates employers from the task of managing payroll taxes and paperwork, allowing them to dedicate more time to their core business activities. It can also result in cost savings for businesses through access to discounted rates for various services. Ultimately, TPP provides employers with peace of mind by ensuring compliance and accuracy in payroll processing.
