Payroll Management: Beginning With the End in Mind
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 the state, federal and joint regulators are looking for and learn how to avoid the often-staggering penalties and fines of non-compliance. This segment alone is worth the seminar’s tuition.

In some states this is a criminal offense and can carry very high monetary penalties and possibly even jail time. But, a worker does not need to qualify for a 1099-MISC to be an "Independent." In this section of our day, you will learn how to spot the Red Flags you may not have previously recognized.

Payroll and the Non-exempt Employee
Handling payroll 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. If only it were that clear-cut.

Armed with the strategies you’ll gain at this seminar, you’ll handle payroll accurately, legally and with complete confidence.
