Payroll processing sounds like a simple proposition. Employees work at a certain rate of pay. You take out taxes and give them the rest of what they've earned. Unfortunately, regulations regarding special benefits and other payments turn a simple task into a legal landmine. With this payroll management training, you'll gain strategies to handle payroll accurately, legally and with complete confidence.
What you don't know can hurt you. That's never more true than when dealing with payroll law. The first step to complying with regulations is understanding them. You'll begin your
class with a crash course in payroll's legal basics. Find out what areas fall under state, federal and joint regulation and learn how to avoid the often staggering penalties and fines of non-compliance.
In one intensive day of training, we'll cover today's most challenging payroll management issues including:
The latest regulation changes that impact how you process payroll
The red flags auditors look for in your payroll procedures
The ins and outs of new hire reporting — what's changed now?
How to handle the sticky legalities of payment on termination
Your state law says one thing and the federal government says another — now what?

And much more!
With this payroll management training workshop, you'll know which forms to use when and, most important, how to keep your company out of hot water with the DOL and state agencies. It's their job to catch you in a mistake. Together, we'll make sure that doesn't happen.
