"That Colorado thing"

With regard to payroll processing: it's complex. Taxes to various governments, paperwork for various governments, withholdings for employee benefits, direct deposits, electronic filings, etc. Multiply that if you have employees in more than one US state. Payroll services are set up to deal with all of that; the services is cheap these days, to the point that it's just not worth even thinking about.

And don't think that Europe is any simpler. Okay, for small businesses in one jurisdiction it's not that bad, but as soon as you start sending employees overseas to other states, you get into things like are they taxed where they work or where they're paid, are they in home or host social security, etc etc.
