Confidential Records
As a payroll clerk, your task is to protect the privacy and confidentiality of the information you
maintain for the company. If a student group—or any personnel aside from the company’s
payroll employees and officers—wishes to review confidential records, you should deny their
request. If needed, you should refer the group to your department’s manager to discuss the matter
in more depth. The laws that apply to this situation are the Privacy Act of 1974, the Freedom of
Information Act, and potentially HIPAA.
Large vs. Small
1. Large companies face issues with multiple departments, employee access to online
personnel portals, employee data security, and timekeeping accuracy.
2. For small companies, the cost of outsourcing the payroll function needs to be considered.
On one hand, a small company may not have personnel who are proficient with payroll
regulations and tax reporting requirements, which leaves a company vulnerable to legal
actions and stringent fines. However, engaging a payroll service company may be cost
prohibitive. The decision to outsource the payroll for a small company should consider
the number of personnel, locations, and types of operations in which the company
engages.
What Is the Difference?
a. Manual payroll systems involve the use of paper and pencil recordkeeping or a
spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft Excel. This is most appropriate for very small
firms.
