Small business owners in the Philippines spend way too much time processing payroll. There is a better way.

1. We need to talk
about payroll
A shout-out to small business
owners with better things to do

2. Running a small business
isn’t like any other job
– it’s more like a
hundred jobs rolled into one.

3. On any given day
you might be...

4. – Serving customers
– Calling suppliers
– Hiring staff
– Paying your employees
– Filing taxes
– Mopping floors

5. Baking pastries
…and if you’re lucky you might
spend some time doing whatever
it is you actually do:

6. Building websites

7. Selling bikes

8. Fixing cars

9. The point is:
You know what you do best, and
it’s definitely not all the other time-
consuming back-office stuff that goes
with running a business.

10. It’s the thing you
actually started your
business to do.

11. One job in particular eats up
small business owners’ time
like no other.
It’s complex and confusing
– and it’s way too important
to risk getting it wrong.

12. We need to talk
about payroll.

13. As a small business owner,
making payroll is your
single greatest priority.
And managing it is
hard work – even for
the smallest businesses.

14. In fact, processing payroll
and filing taxes can be
really stressful for the
person in charge.
(We’re guessing
that’s you.)

15. It’s something you need to
keep on top of month to
month, week to week or
even day to day. Ouch.

You need to calculate employee wages and make sure
you deduct the right amounts of income from paychecks,
so you can file the correct income tax and statutory
contributions.

17. That means working out exactly what you owe
in HDMF, SSS, PhilHealth and other payments, and
making sure you get them done right and filed on
time.

18. And there’s the seasonal or occasional stuff like
figuring out how and when to pay bonuses, or
adding new employees to the payroll – and making
sure they’re set up with the right details for the
province they’re in.

19. It’s far from ideal –
and that’s when things
go according to plan.
Then there’s the times
when they don’t.

20. That’s usually due to:
– Late or incorrect payroll payments
– Late or incorrect tax filings

21. These things can be a real headache to fix
– and they can earn you some costly penalties.

22. Remember what we said earlier about
payroll being a job that not every small
business owner excels at? Yeah, that.

23. The good
news is there’s
a better way.
One that helps make sure your small business payroll and
tax filings are treated with the care they really deserve.

24. It’s a simple but powerful
idea*
that more and
more small businesses
are embracing…

25. Get someone else to do it:
Someone who does it way
better than you can.

30. Time to do more of what you’re best at
– and less of what you’re not.

31. Time to step back from the front line
(or back office) and do the big-picture thinking
that helps you run an insanely great business.

32. bigAnd here’s a big one – though it may seem
like a rare indulgence if you’ve started your
own business:

33. *
Some people fit this into the days between Friday and
Monday, non-inclusive – but whatever works for you.

work at work.
