Let’s take a moment to walk through an all-too-common situation for those of us involved in payroll management in HR.
It’s month’s end. The payroll team is scrambling to make sure every employee receives accurate pay, and on time. Meanwhile, HR is juggling compliance updates and employee satisfaction surveys, all while trying to resolve hiring bottlenecks and put out all those little fires that inevitably pop up.
Does this sound familiar?
If so, then you probably know that payroll management and HR have both evolved into complex, high-stakes areas of every business. That’s exactly why HR outsourcing is no longer just a “nice-to-have,” but a necessity.
With intricate regulations, high employee expectations, and mounting resource constraints, more people are realizing that outsourcing payroll management and HR functions is a strong strategy.
You might be wondering how Corban OneSource can work with your existing payroll platform, like Workday or Paylocity, or how we can help with the transition if you aren’t already on board with one. In this post, we’ll explain all the ways Corban OneSource brings expertise to the table…and why you need us at the table to begin with.
Why HR Outsourcing is a Non-Negotiable
If ever there were a department that gave the idea of “multitasking” a face, it’s HR. HR teams tend to be overworked and overburdened, responsible for everything from payroll to compliance to hiring and employee engagement. It’s no surprise if you’re feeling stretched thin.
Whether your goal is to pour resources into growth or simply make your workday smoother, outsourcing HR and payroll is an investment in sanity and sustainability.
Dealing With the Compliance Quandary
Far from just being tedious, keeping up with payroll management in HR is downright daunting. With laws and regulations varying across states, countries, and even industries, there’s zero room for error as it relates to compliance.
Even the smallest miscalculation or missed deadline can result in hefty penalties, tarnishing your business’s reputation. Unfortunately, it’s all too common; a study by Alight found that more than half of all companies incurred payroll penalties within the last year for non-compliance. That’s not good.
But the good news? Outsourcing shifts that responsibility to experts who live and breathe compliance, reducing the risk of costly errors.
Reducing Attention Drain
Think about what your HR department could achieve if they weren’t stuck handling payroll disputes or manual data entry.
By outsourcing payroll, your team can focus on strategic initiatives like improving workplace culture or crafting talent pipelines. You’re freeing up bandwidth for the tasks only humans can do best.
Maintaining Accuracy
Payroll errors are embarrassing, sure, but they’re also a fast track to unhappy employees who expect accurate paychecks delivered on time.
Outsourcing via automated payroll guarantees just that, making sure all paychecks are accurate, timely, and professionally managed.
The takeaway? Happy employees lead to better retention rates, and no one’s chasing down year-end tax forms with gritted teeth.

3 of Our Favorite Payroll Platforms
When it comes to managing payroll, there are countless options out there. Yet not all of them are created equal. Here are three of our favorite options for payroll management in HR and why they stand out:
1. Paylocity
Paylocity is a platform tailored for mid-sized businesses that want more control and customization in their HR processes.
What makes Paylocity unique is its focus on fostering employee engagement. With features like surveys, peer recognition, and workforce analytics, it offers tools that go well beyond the basics of payroll and HR management. Its open ecosystem also means you can integrate with other popular tools, creating a workflow that fits seamlessly into your current operations.
For businesses eager to build stronger employee connections while managing payroll efficiently, Paylocity hits the sweet spot.
2. ADP Workforce Now
When people think of all-in-one HR solutions, ADP is usually at the top of the list—and for good reason. This platform is a powerhouse of payroll processing, benefits administration, time tracking, and compliance tools, all rolled into one.
ADP Workforce Now also excels in integration. Whether it’s ZipRecruiter for recruiting or 401(k) management tools for employee retention, ADP offers seamless add-ons that address a wide range of HR needs. Plus, their 24/7 customer support means help is always available when you need it most.
3. Workday
Workday is another heavyweight in the world of enterprise HR and payroll solutions. Built for larger teams and operations that need scalability, Workday offers advanced tools for managing both HR and finances in one place.
What sets Workday apart is its focus on data-driven insights. Its analytics tools allow businesses to gain a clearer picture of workforce performance, financial metrics, and more. The platform’s ability to handle complex organizational needs makes it an excellent choice for enterprise-level businesses looking to go beyond the basics.

Payroll and HR Outsourcing: The Bigger Picture
Payroll errors don’t just hurt your bottom line—they impact your employees’ trust in your business.
And once that trust is dented, it’s an uphill climb to recover. Studies show that accurate, on-time payroll contributes to higher employee satisfaction—a win for everyone involved. On the other side of the coin, one survey found that a whopping 91% of employees would look for a new job if their pay was regularly inaccurate. That’s a mistake you don’t want to make (or in this case, keep making).
At Corban OneSource, we go beyond payroll. From benefits administration to talent management, our holistic HR solutions help streamline your human resources operations. It’s not just about cutting costs (though that’s a huge plus); it’s about freeing up your valuable resources to focus on things that truly move the needle for your business—like growth, strategy, and employee engagement.
We believe in making HR outsourcing a seamless extension of your business. You gain a partner who understands the financial and regulatory implications of payroll, ensuring compliance while reducing administrative burdens.
Our goal? To help you ditch the roadblocks and gain clarity and control over your payroll management in HR.
