Payroll services: Payroll Outsourcing Service Index

Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through the estate's fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).

3 of the 15 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 12 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 8 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.

The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 50 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.

Derivation as chartered: per bureau or managed-service provider: the published per-payslip or per-employee-per-month fee, the monthly minimum, the setup fee and what the fee includes, quoted from the provider's own page; the index is the MEDIAN PRICE PER PAYSLIP by market and by payroll size band, the minimum-charge floor a very small employer actually pays (which is the number that decides in-house versus bureau), the share of providers that publish anything at all against those that quote only, and the software-versus-service gap - the same vendor's self-serve price beside its managed price

50 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
