I'm getting my 30 hours per month of my time back!
"I was the de facto HR department, accountable to things like; Employee time fixes and accountability, new employee onboarding paperwork, legally required notifications about insurance availability at 60 and 90 days, paying employee health savings, and child support withholding. We were even considering hiring an HR person because I shouldn't have to plan my vacations around the payroll calendar.
Now employees are responsible and required to submit their own time off and timeclock fix requests, to be approved by their direct managers. They effectively train themselves, when fixing mistakes is their problem. Now I get to use my time on more important aspects of the business and don't have to hire an HR Manager."

Wisconsin Company Explains Payroll Processing for Small Businesses
Running payroll processing services in Wisconsin can be time-consuming and stressful, especially for small businesses or startups just getting their feet off the ground. Having your payroll processing services outsourced allows you to focus on keeping your small business functioning. We’ve seen businesses with as few as 2 employees struggle with keeping their payroll accurate and compliant. Our small business payroll processing services will give you peace of mind and save you time and money.
Listen to Roger Fuerstenau, HCM consultant at Connect & Simplify, talk about how we can be your Wisconsin-based “one-stop-shop” for payroll, time-labor management, HR, employee benefits and insurance services. No one else does what we do. Whether you have one need or multiple needs, we can help ease the pain and “do all the things.”
