A payroll bureau is a collaboration between in-house payroll employees and an outsourced payroll company. The idea is that working with both means you have more control (with processes carried out by your in-house staff), while external people provide essential checks and balances. Together, you do a perfect job.
A PAYROLL BUREAU YOU CAN TRUST
