Payroll was already confusing. Then all those pandemic law changes added a messy new layer of complexity. This means your payroll department is more vulnerable to errors that trigger expensive audits, fines and penalties. Even the best payroll professionals can stumble under a deluge of rules, regulations and sudden changes.

This timely new session will review the 10 areas within payroll that are triggering the most mistakes and audits in 2021 from both the IRS and Departments of Labor (on the federal and state level). You’ll receive detailed advice on how to stay in compliance with each area, and discover areas of noncompliance that you haven’t even thought about.
