3rd Party PR companies

Question

Does anyone use a 3rd Party payroll company? We will be using a 3rd party payroll company next year and I was wondering how other companies are utilizing these companies. 
 
 Thank you,

Juanita - 
 I have several customers that utilize Checkwriters as their 3rd Party Payroll Company. Time is entered in Sage 300CRE thru Payroll / Service Management and processed. An export report is written to report the check pays, deductions, taxes, units that is uploaded. The difference I have found with Checkwriters is that they will accept Timberline's calculations of FWH / SWH, so you don't need to go back and edit the checks to account for the way different accounting systems can calculate taxes. 
 When I last checked, Paychex and ADP would not allow usage of your withholding taxes. It has been quite awhile since I've investigated this, so it may have changed. Nothing worse than having to go thru each check and edit the taxes to be what your 3rd Party determined they should be, IMHO.

We use the 3rd party vendor because with less than 10 employees,and only 3 being cost coded it is way easier than Sage PR and I don;t have to worry about all of the year end updates and other Sage issues. 
 I don't use the PR function in Sage at all. I enter each payroll as an invoice with appropriate GL codes for withholdings, etc. and then direct Job Cost the few employees' timesheets. 
 I think it all depends on how complex your situation is and if you really need all of the data for every transaction in Sage in or not. 
 As others have mentioned there are also import techniques available if you are so inclined.
