The Equivalent of "Clean-up on Aisle 3" Isn't What You Want to Hear on Payday or Any Day

Paying employees correctly is your most important — and legally risky — responsibility.

Employees count on you to get their pay right, every time. Make one simple mistake with an employee's pay and you're sure to hear about it from the employee, the CEO, and probably the IRS and the DOL.

And it gets trickier by the pay period. Employees working from anywhere, employer policies clawing back bonuses or training costs, identity thieves trying to worm their way into your employee self-service portal and disrupt your direct deposit — all contribute to unforced payroll errors.

How much do payroll errors cost? According to a recent white paper, almost 80% of employees would be under significant financial strain if $500 was missing from their paycheck. A little over half said they’d feel the same if $100 was missing.

This new webinar is dedicated to helping you understand the common problems payroll pros face every day, how to avoid them, and if you can’t avoid them, how to correct them expeditiously and as painlessly as possible.

Agenda for Employee Pay Workshop

90% of employees have their pay direct deposited; 100% of identity thieves know this. There are steps you can take to safeguard your employee self-service portal and employees’ pay.
Why you should think twice about defaulting employees into paycards and why you should never agree to mobile pay.
Employees move and they don’t tell payroll. Anything wrong with that? Where employees work today might not be where they’re working tomorrow. The IRS and the DOL don’t care where employees work. But state tax and labor agencies do. Pay policies can bring order to the chaos caused by mobile employees.
The ins and outs of termination pay, including when to pay it, how to pay it, what to pay and what you can deduct from it; step-by-step instructions on implementing a voluntary termination pay workflow; and the nine critical do's and don’ts when troubleshooting involuntary terminations.
Overpaid an employee? How you recoup that money depends on when they pay it back. And don’t forget the paperwork for the IRS and the Social Security Administration.
The problem with stipends: You can’t throw a bunch of money at employees, call it a stipend, and walk away. Know the three key rules for reimbursing employees’ business expenses and the two safe harbors that will save you from having to tax employees’ business reimbursements.
How to handle federal and state pay, tax, and reporting requirements for a deceased employee.
