Hiring employees to process payroll and manage HR functions requires money that many small business owners don’t have. You can surely relate if you own a small business or are in the process of launching one.
It is possible to obtain the administrative assistance required without having to hire and pay for extra staff. You can outsource your payroll and HR functions to a third-party provider and only pay for the services you need. This blog offers a comparative analysis of ASAP Payroll and PrimePay, a nationwide provider of similar services.
Overview of ASAP Payroll
Based in Indianapolis, Indiana, ASAP Payroll launched with one client back in 1989. Nearly 35 years later, we have hundreds of clients across the country. Despite this, working with business owners in Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, and Ohio remains our primary focus. Since the day we launched our business, we have always sought to get to know our clients personally and provide them with the highest level of customized service.
True to our roots, ASAP Payroll still serves entrepreneurs just launching their business. We also serve the HR and payroll needs of large corporations. Our company has received hundreds of accolades over the years from satisfied clients who appreciate the personal touch.
The History of PrimePay
Besides providing payroll and outsourced HR services, PrimePay also offers health, wealth, and legal services. The company has been in business for 35 years, and its tagline is “supporting employees through the life cycle.” PrimePay offers solutions based on company size; small businesses of up to 149 employees and mid to large-sized businesses of 150 to 500 employees.
Other services that fall under the HR and payroll umbrella include benefits administration, financial analytics, and time and attendance. PrimePay also partners with banks, brokers, CPAs, and financial advisors.
Major Differences Between ASAP Payroll and PrimePay
In order to make an informed decision about which payroll and HR company to use, it is important to understand the major differences between available options.
Size and Focus
ASAP Payroll is a small company with a regional focus. We seek to meet the practical needs of our clients and continually seek their feedback to improve and expand our offerings. Our core services include hiring and onboarding, payroll, timekeeping, and HCM/HR management. Their focus on personalized service means that clients can expect tailored solutions that meet their specific requirements rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
In contrast, PrimePay is a larger nationwide organization that offers a wider range of services compared to ASAP Payroll. Although both companies provide similar services such as benefits administration, compliance, and HR management, PrimePay’s offerings are more extensive due to its larger scale.
Personalized Service
Here at ASAP Payroll, we recognize that every client is unique and has different support needs for their business. For this reason, we strive to offer personalized and tailored payroll and HR solutions for every client who entrusts us with these vital tasks. PrimePay, while being large enough to offer several additional services, may lack the personal touch that so many of our clients appreciate due to the size and scope of the business.
Pricing
ASAP Payroll’s pricing strategy ensures that small and mid-sized businesses receive the most affordable and competitive rates. We are pleased to say that our pricing is straightforward and transparent, leaving few questions and no hidden charges. Due to its much larger size, you may find PrimePay’s pricing strategy to be complicated and variable, depending on which services you request.
Customer Service
As a local HR and payroll service provider, ASAP Payroll can usually offer a faster response time with client issues. You get to talk to a real person as well, whereas you might find yourself navigating several voice prompts before getting to the right person who can help you as a client of PrimePay.
Why Choose ASAP Payroll
Overall, ASAP Payroll offers personalized service, prompt response time, and cost-effective services that you are unlikely to receive with a large national organization like PrimePay. You don’t want to get lost in the shuffle with a huge HR and payroll provider whose employees don’t always remember your name. We treat you as a valued client here and go out of our way to ensure your ongoing satisfaction. Please request a quote to learn more about each of our services.
