It really depends on the business. I'd say if there are fewer than say 30 employees, then it makes sense to have a payroll service. More than that, and the company is going to have someone on site doing the books anyway, and payroll is really no big deal if you keep the accounting software updated and spend a little time keeping abreast of new laws/changes. I'd say, if the company already has an accountant or bookkeeper on staff, it probably makes sense to handle payroll in house. If the owner or other executive would otherwise be doing the payroll, then definitely outsourcing is the answer. Same with email servers, BTW, but substitute 'accountant' with 'sysadmin'. Of course, if the accountant or sysadmin recommends outsourcing, that is probably what should be done. IOW, it depends. I would never recommend to my client to outsource email, but that's me.
