I guess it is a matter of opinion as imho, due to the sensitive data

5-20 *security* patches per month does not seem logical or have much
business sense to me.

Who would be stupid enough to put the payroll system directly on the Internet? Yes, you might have information needed for the system available and perhaps even modifiable from the Internet, but the payroll system should not be accessible from the Internet, and larger companies should have a firewall between it and normal employees and their PCs. Smaller companies might be better of out sourcing payroll. At least in Denmark that is usually cheaper and better.
