The Sage Compliance Services Outsourcing Difference

Why outsource your payroll taxes or garnishments to Sage Compliance Services? Because we provide a truly unique outsourcing model and outstanding service. When you partner with Sage Compliance Services for compliance, you can:

Outsource the Risk

There are thousands of employer regulations imposed by over 10,000 federal, state, and local payroll tax agencies and an untold number of garnishment issuing authorities. It can take a large, full-time staff just to stay abreast of these constantly changing laws and accurately handle the appropriate deposits, returns, garnishments, wage listings, reports, and annual reconciliations.

The workload may be daunting, but not complying with the law is not an option. Penalties and interest are assessed retroactively and quickly reach up to 11% of a payroll tax deposit or the full amount of an employee garnishment. This all adds up to a major risk to an employer's bottom line. Outsourcing your compliance requirements to the experts at Sage Compliance Services relieves you of this risk.

Focus on What You Do Best

There are more than 10,000 employer-regulating agencies in the U.S. No two agencies are alike and their requirements are constantly changing. These complex regulations force you to focus on labor-intensive, repetitive tasks instead of strategic corporate goals. And then there's always the possibility of human error.

Outsourcing your compliance requirements means you can focus on what you do best and leave the compliance worries to the experts.

Save Money Over Standard Outsource Firms

Most outsourcers impound your funds days - or even weeks - before the agency payment is due. This allows them to benefit from the float, but it takes control of your cash away from you. With standard outsourcers, you're probably losing more money than you think.

Our service is different. We move the payment directly from your bank to the agency on the exact day it must be transmitted. Because Sage Compliance Services fees are based on transactions, not float, you maintain control of your cash and benefit from the associated positive cashflow - a significant advantage in today's uncertain financial climate.

Work the Web

In today's world, managing your compliance responsibilities is more challenging than ever. You need 24x7 access in order to feel confident that your processes are handled perfectly. That's exactly what we provide with our secure web interface. Run reports, view/print returns, or review data changes - from anywhere!

You'll have more control, more flexibility, and the confidence that each payment was made exactly on time to exactly the right agency.
