Hi Ed,

Seriously?  Payroll on a web host?  Wow.  

I would recommend either buying an app for a well-secured in-house box ... or outsourcing the entire function.  There are a number of companies that will handle outsourced Payroll, HR, and other functions.  I believe their clientele is mostly small to mid-sized companies.  Sometimes it can be a good move to outsource a function and have it handled well.  

Hmmm.  A quick googled stat claims that "58% of companies with fewer than 500 employees outsource their payroll function ... and 28% of companies with 10,000+ employees."

Just sounds like a safer route to me.

HTH,
RonL.
