Program Description:

You Can’t Learn Payroll by Trial and Error. The Consequences of Making a Mistake Are Too Severe.

Case in point — one major retailer was recently ordered to pay over $33M in back wages for payroll violations.

If you think this can’t happen to you, think again. If there’s one thing employees pay attention to, it’s their pay. They want and deserve accuracy. If you make any mistake — no matter how slight — it could cost you and your organization BIG in back wages, penalties, and maybe even your job.

The Secrets of Managing Payroll is a revolutionary workshop designed to get you up-to-date on the federal regulations that you have to address while doing your job. From garnishments to child support to overtime to W-4s, you’ll learn it all here. Just look at some of the key points of your agenda:

  • How to handle the very latest changes in rules, regulations, and laws that impact payroll
  • Techniques for streamlining routine payroll tasks to get more done in less time
  • Surprising court rulings concerning comp time, off-the-clock overtime, and more
  • Tips for avoiding the most frequently made errors in W-2 processing
  • How to handle different types of pay (incentives, commissions, etc.) and deductions
  • Smart ideas for working more effectively with payroll service bureaus

Learn how to keep your cool with stress-busting tips for handling your toughest payroll challenges
It’s never been more important to understand the ins and outs of payroll than right now. People are struggling to make ends meet ... slipping on payments ... changing job titles as companies downsize. You have to be on top of your game. From handling multiple garnishments to changing someone’s employment status, you can’t afford to let anything slip, and that can be stressful, frustrating, and overwhelming.

This workshop gives you clear-cut answers for prioritizing your payroll obligations. You’ll also get cost-saving tips ... learn how to handle supervisors who don’t understand employee classifications ... overtime and more.

The updates on government rules and regulations alone are worth the price of the workshop!
It would take you literally months to research all the information you’ll gain in just one day away from the office. Your employer and your employees put their trust in you to handle payroll accurately, efficiently, and to the letter of the law. You owe it to them — and more importantly, to yourself — to make sure your payroll knowledge is absolutely
