Leave a Comment (0) →One of the most difficult decisions for a small business owner is hiring employees. It’s not just finding the right person for the position or wondering if the company is financially ready.
No, one of the biggest fears is the knowledge that the company has to follow federal, state and local labor laws; unemployment insurance (SUTA), social security and Medicare (FICA) and the income taxes and all the rules around that. It’s a scary proposition, that’s for sure. (more…)
America is the land of choice – but not when it comes to whether or not a worker is an employee or an independent contractor. As the workplace environment changes, employers are looking at how worker classification impacts their finances.
Just about every worker counts on it and almost every employer has paid it, but few understand it. What’s that? Unemployment taxes. Who pays it and how? Once you see how it works, it makes sense. The Payroll Department thinks it’s time everyone got an easy-to-understand explanation.
A general misconception is that churches don’t have to worry about taxes – that they are exempt. As a payroll provider, the staff at The Payroll Department understands how much of a myth that is for churches. There are many different types of taxes on the state and federal levels and being a church actually is a complex situation. The church may be exempt from some taxes but not others and the tax code can vary from state to state. That’s where professional payroll services can be invaluable.
Some employees can work in jobs their entire life and never know anything about wage garnishments. As employers, you are probably not as lucky. Chances are that at some point you will be asked to garnish the wages of an employee. Do you know what to do?
The Payroll Department has had a lot of experience with wage garnishments. Garnishments are not something that employers or payroll services decide to do on their own. We receive official notification and are required to comply, even if an employee objects.
