What
Payroll is very detailed clerical work and it has to be done right. Some feel that a Big Corporation must be better at it just because they’re big. Not true. What do you really get? Personal service? And what do you really pay? The big companies have a lot of forms and layers of process– you’ll be doing work THEIR WAY and paying for every little thing.
This chart shows you how things really work.
