In house payroll and HR software

I work for a non-profit agency, and we are facing major budget cut backs. We are currently outsourcing payroll and HRIS with ADP. I have been asked to research bringing payroll and HR "in house". We have approximately 150 employees. Does anyone have a product they are using that they are pleased with? If so, could you include the approximate yearly cost. Thank you. Just needing a place to start.

Curious to see what the other forumdudes and forumettes have to say.
Bringing it in-house doesn't necessarily cut your costs to a level lower than outsourcing - think of the filing and reporting regulations, as well as the IT component.
Check with Paychex - they were significantly cheaper for us. You may also consider employee-leasing, which may cut not only your payroll costs but also cut your benefit costs (AND enable you to cut HR staff). There are a lot of small EE-leasing companies you can get some good deals with!
Good luck!
Our monthly processing costs are about $ 250 - for 30 employees using an outside PR processor. One screw up with a payment or form could easily cost us more than the yearly processing fee. The processing costs are money well spent.

There have been at least two threads on this site about how awful they are. When you call them they NEVER call back. They have screwed people PTO up, it took 3 days to do payroll because it could'nt work with our timekeeping system wich they told us it would. EVERY WEEK FOR TWO YEARS there was an error on their end that would cause us to do tons of research to figure it out and it was always their fault.When we terminated our relationship with them HR and finance had a big celebration with balloons and everything
One thing you may want to look at and recommend is the number of payrolls you do. Do you pay weekly, bi-weekly or monthly? You are charged per payroll run. If you are weekly, see if you can change this to bi-weekly and you will cut your cost about in half.
Also, if you do it in house, do check on who will do your tax filings before you agree to this.

I'm not advocating any system, but if you are going in-house do consider Great Plains.
Any insight that current users of ADP or KRONOS can provide would be appreciated.
