Just take a look.

As we look toward more sustainable ways of living on a global scale, paperless is definitely the way to go. 

Payroll is among the top backend business functions that can take up a lot of paper. Going paperless can not only make your business more environmentally friendly, but it can also help you save on your bottom line.

But the fact of the matter is that businesses spend thousands of dollars on paper every year. If you're looking for way to cut down on cost, paperless payroll is definitely the way to go.

According to the American Payroll Association, businesses that switched to paperless payroll saved an average of $2.87 to $3.15 per pay run. 

Businesses also saved money on reissuing lost or stolen checks, which can cost about $8 to $10 per replacement check.
