Dear Payroll Professional:

Exemptions. Overtime. Taxes. Garnishments. Executive compensation. Independent contractors. There’s just nothing simple about payroll.

It doesn’t matter how careful you are. Dealing with complicated rules and regulations from both the Department of Labor and the Internal Revenue Service makes payroll management prone to all kinds of potential errors. And even one payroll management mistake – no matter how unintentional – can lead to a costly lawsuit or fines from the DOL – or worse, the IRS.

Between DOL and IRS enforcement efforts and the large increase in class-action lawsuits, the dollars lost have become staggering. And your organization will always be responsible for any violations whether you outsource your payroll operations or not.

And if you do outsource your payroll, you need to be especially vigilant – out of sight is not out of mind, especially when it comes to the IRS’ radar.

Avoid Legal Payroll Pitfalls: Keeping it Simple

The Payroll Compliance Handbook is a comprehensive payroll guide covering all demands created by federal FLSA regulations that govern wage payments and IRS regulations. It includes dozens of checklists and charts to make payroll easier, plus state-by-state regulations that govern minimum wage, final pay requirements and more – all in straightforward business language to ease your compliance burden.

This incredible resource was created and designed by payroll legal experts with one overarching goal: Keep it simple. And for anyone responsible for payroll, that translates into staying in compliance – and out of court.

The powerful Payroll Compliance Handbook is packed with examples, explanations, practical situations and real-world scenarios you need most to ensure your payroll practices are within the law. You won’t find any legal jargon, technical regulations or obscure references.

It’s a lot of material, but the expert editors have taken the complex and complicated world of payroll and broken it down into easy-to-digest components that will enable you to address any issue, attack any problem and solve any dilemma that’s fired your way.
