What Payroll Outsourcing means.

Payroll – the calculation of wages and salaries – encompasses much more than just the monthly transfer: registrations and deregistrations with the ÖGK, calculation of wages, allowances and special payments, reports to the tax office and social insurance, annual wage statements and evaluations. When outsourcing, our payroll specialists take over exactly this work – you remain the employer, we ensure that everything is done correctly and on time.

  • You remain the employer – we handle billing, reporting, and documentation.
  • Billing in accordance with the respective applicable collective agreement.
  • Suitable from the first employee to medium-sized companies.

When Outsourced Payroll Is Worthwhile.

Most companies come to us because their internal payroll depends on a single person, because software and training cost more than they deliver, or because mistakes in the past proved expensive. Typical situations:

  • The payroll accountant is retiring or going on parental leave – knowledge threatens to be lost.
  • Growth: From five employees to fifty, the Excel solution is no longer sufficient.
  • Legal certainty: collective agreement changes and GPLB audits should no longer be a concern.
  • Focus: Management wants time for customers instead of reporting deadlines.

03Analysis

We review your starting situation.

In the initial meeting, we clarify how many employees you invoice, which collective agreement applies, what time models and allowances exist, and how your accounting is connected. This results in a transparent offer per invoiced person – without licenses, setup fees, or hidden costs.

  • Inventory: employees, collective bargaining agreement, working time models.
  • Interfaces to accounting, tax consulting, and time recording.
  • Fixed price per person per month – predictable and calculable.

04Handover

Seamless transition – without interruption.

We take over your master data, check the previous payrolls for plausibility, and set up all reporting channels. The switch takes place at the turn of the month; your employees won't notice a thing – except that their pay slips still arrive on time. Sensitive data is transmitted in a GDPR-compliant, encrypted manner and processed exclusively for the intended purpose.

  • Data import and plausibility check of the previous periods.
  • Changeover on the key date, with no gap in payroll.
  • Encrypted transmission, clear access rights, order processing according to GDPR.

05Ongoing

Every month correctly, on time and transparently.

You report hours, entries and exits, and changes to us – digitally and simply. We create invoices and pay slips, handle reports to ÖGK, the tax office and Statistics Austria, provide booking receipts for your accounting, and are available to your employees for queries. In the event of legal or collective agreement changes, we automatically adjust everything.

  • Monthly billing, pay slips and transfer files.
  • All official notifications included – from registration to the annual wage statement.
  • A fixed contact person for you and for questions from your employees.

06Security

Audit-proof – even when the GPLB comes.

We document every invoice in a tamper-proof manner and support you during payroll audits, social insurance queries, or labor law issues related to remuneration. You save on specialized software, training, and dependence on a single person – and gain a team that does nothing else every day.

  • Audit-proof documentation of all billing runs.
  • Accompaniment during audits by ÖGK and tax office.
  • Four-eyes principle instead of single risk in the house.
