Meeting/Event Information

Payroll compliance is the act of ensuring that businesses adhere to all legal regulations surrounding the processing of payroll and filing of all related payroll taxes.  These regulations range from local all the way to Federal.  Can it be overwhelming?  Yes, and our best defense is to understand our roles within the organization to ensure compliance.  It seems that compliance has slipped into all functions within our department.  Depending on the size of your organization this could be quite comprehensive.  

The paycheck emerged in about the 1870s in the United States and it wasn't until 1943, where we saw our first government legislation on the requirement to withhold taxes from payroll checks and the submission to remit them quarterly.  This is known as the Compliance "born on date".  

As we walk through many phases of compliance, we will discover the importance it plays to businesses and its impact on the payroll department.  Though this class we will discuss:

     *What is Payroll Compliance?

     *The basics of payroll compliance and why it's important

     *Common mishaps and mistakes

     *Best practices and key requirements

     *Creating a compliance calendar

While we have emerged from the prehistoric payroll ages, it's for sure we will continue to see and ever-changing landscape in payroll compliance.
