Workplace Garnishments: What Your Small Business Needs to Know

Posted by Elaine on December 4, 2013

When it comes to processing employee’s payroll with multiple garnishments, there is an established hierarchy of which one takes precedence. The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (BAPCPA) was signed into law on April 20, 2005 and enacted on October 17, 2005. Prior to this law, Chapter 13 bankruptcy orders took priority over other garnishments. There was no limit to this federal deduction. Along with consideration for the type of order issued is the date on which it was issued. Date order, earliest to latest, establishes when the set amount begins coming out of employees’ paychecks. If you’re unsure of the pecking order, here’s an overview of some of the most common types of garnishments. (more…)

Understanding Employer Contributions to 401(k) Plans

Posted by Elaine on October 8, 2013

As an added benefit, many small businesses choose to offer an employee retirement plan, such as a payroll deduction IRA, a SIMPLE (Savings Incentive Match for Employees) IRA or a traditional 401(k) plan to their employees. While there is no law requiring companies to contribute to the retirement plan (with the exception of Simple IRA and SEP IRA plans), many employers do choose to make contributions because it’s an effective tool for hiring and keeping top-quality employees. Also, businesses receive a tax benefit for contributing to employees’ 401(k) accounts.

Entrepreneurs Stay Serious about Payroll Taxes

Posted by Elaine on September 24, 2013

When it comes to payroll, and payroll taxes, business owners have a lot of questions:

Who’s actually responsible for payroll taxes being paid?
I have a payroll provider, but how do I know taxes are being paid on my behalf – in full and on time?
If the taxes don’t get paid, who does the IRS come looking for?
Is there any legal recourse if the taxes haven’t been paid? Is the government lenient in these situations? (more…)
