However, with a large group of new clients coming on board within a short duration of time, the overall workload increased significantly. With over 425 payslips to be processed for 200 companies every month, both for a variety of daily and monthly assignments, the client saw an opportunity to reduce costs and improve efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Our client spoke about how the main challenge he was facing before outsourcing was the complexity of running payroll in-house. \u201cOutsourcing payroll was primarily a time-oriented decision. With ever increasing legislation, running the payroll with autoenrolment had become a time-consuming and inefficient process. It led to some payroll production problems.\u201d<\/p>\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"col-md-6 col-lg-5 offset-lg-1 col-xxl-4 offset-xxl-1 text-start text-md-end\">\r\n      <div class=\"csdetbox2\">\r\n        <h3>AT A GLANCE<\/h3>\n<h4>50% cost reductions in payroll processing.<\/h4>\n<h5>Using QXAS, our client were able to:<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Focus on high-end activities and practice growth.<\/li>\n<li>Access skilled and qualified staff at a fraction of the cost<\/li>\n<li>Scale up or down without any risks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n      <\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\n\n<section class=\"csdetbox3\" style=\"background:#2B0A5B\">\r\n  <div class=\"container se-style1\">\r\n    <h2>How we helped<\/h2>\n<p>We took on the entire responsibility, right from processing and managing of their payroll to liaising with third party agencies such as HMRC.
