It seems like you are looking for best practices on improving the payroll process, vendor management, and choosing the right payroll system. Here's a detailed response:

1. 💵 Implementing a Paperless Pay System: The first thing to consider is to move towards a paperless pay system. For this, you can increase direct deposit participation. However, it's important to stay compliant with state laws. Check the local labor laws about electronic pay stubs and keep records as required by the law.

2. 📰 Employee Self-Services Systems: The use of employee self-service systems can streamline the payroll process. Employees can view their pay stubs, tax details, and apply for leaves through these systems. Maximizing them involves training employees on how to use them and ensuring the systems are user-friendly.

3. 📲 Payroll Interface vs Integrated System: An integrated system is one where your payroll software is part of a larger HR system, while a payroll interface is a standalone system that can communicate with other software. Understanding your company's needs will help you decide between these two. If your company has complex HR processes, an integrated system might be more beneficial.

4. 📪 Handling Request for Proposal (RFP): When handling an RFP, it's important to clearly define your needs, budget, and timeline. Prepare a list of potential vendors, send them the RFP, and then analyze their responses based on cost-effectiveness, functionality, and customer service.

5. ☑️ Best Practices for Choosing a Payroll System: Here are some best practices:
- Know your needs: Identify what you're expecting from the system.
- Check for integration: Make sure the system can integrate with your existing software.
- Verify compliance: The system should be compliant with local labor laws.
- Check for scalability: The system should be able to grow with your company.

Remember, when you are dealing with payroll, you are dealing with sensitive employee data. So, any system or process you choose should be secure and privacy-compliant.

I hope this helps, and I wish you the best in your payroll management journey! 🎉🤝
