Creating a Payroll Manual:
Putting Your Procedures into Writing


In this 75-minute training, you will learn how to:

  • Document your payroll process.

    Create a simple standard operating procedure, using a basic template.

  • Guarantee compliance.

    Payroll is getting more complex. A manual is a cheat sheet for your daily, weekly and monthly tasks.

  • Reduce stress.

    Payroll can’t stop when key employees get sick or resign. A manual makes step-by-step compliance and training easy.

A procedures manual is your best tool for a compliant, accurate and efficient payroll department

If your organization doesn’t have a payroll procedures manual, don’t let 2021 pass without creating a single document that collects all your policies and processes regarding how employees get paid. As payroll gets increasingly complex and technology-dependent, more employers are creating such standard operating procedures for efficiency and compliance reasons.

The benefits: A manual will build consistency … increase accuracy … prevent audits … simplify employee training … resolve pay disputes … and help you streamline your department and your payroll duties.

This new webinar recording, led by payroll guru Dayna Reum, will help you create and write complete process documentation that would also allow any associate in your department to be able to do all processes if necessary. Plus, this documentation will be your first step toward process improvements.
