What if our needs change later?

EXPLORE YOUR PAYROLL CYCLE

Every input has a place
Every step has an owner

Follow an illustrative monthly handover. Your actual dates and responsibilities are agreed with you

YOUR TEAM → AGREED CONTACT

Start from authorised information

Gather joining details, attendance, approved changes and the supporting records required for the agreed scope

Confirm the cutoff and who can authorise each input

OUTSOURCY → REVIEW OUTPUT

Connect the records and pay inputs

Outsourcy prepares the agreed payroll and personnel work, and raises missing information or exceptions for clarification

Preparation is limited to the agreed service activities

YOUR APPROVER → CONFIRMED INSTRUCTIONS

Review before the next action

Your authorised team reviews the output and confirms corrections and approvals through the agreed route

Filing and payment execution are not automatically included

BOTH TEAMS → NEXT CYCLE

Close the loop, keep the record

Confirm the completed activities, retain the agreed records and assign any open changes to their next review point

Late changes need an agreed cycle and approval; same-cycle processing is not assumed

YOUR PAYROLL & PERSONNEL QUESTIONS

Good questions
A clearer next step

Q: Can we move from our current team or provider?

Review the scope, records and obligations before agreeing a handover. Your company remains the employer while the agreed administrative work moves

Q: How do we share confidential employee records?

Agree the transfer channel, authorised access and data-handling terms before sharing files. Keep employee records out of the initial website enquiry

Q: What if a change arrives after the payroll cutoff?

Send it to the agreed contact. Review its record and payroll impact, then confirm the cycle and approval needed. Same-cycle processing is not automatic

Q: Are insurance notifications, filings and payments included?

The agreement specifies what is prepared, submitted or coordinated, and who authorises or executes it. None should be assumed included

Q: How is the combined service priced?

The proposal depends on headcount, personnel workload and payroll requirements. Review recurring fees, setup work and additional charges separately
