And the Answer is...Researching Payroll Questions

Why Should You Attend:

Is the payment taxable? Can we pay the employee under this scenario? How do we calculate that? There are usually a multitude of payroll questions that demand answers. And each one needs to be researched in an otherwise very busy and hectic payroll day. Sometimes it might be as simple as looking it up in one of our payroll manuals or using the expensive web-based product that we purchased for this purpose. But for many payroll departments neither of those two items are an option.

In the past few years of hard economic times many payroll departments have seen their research budget slashed to the bare bones or become non-existent. Yet the questions still need to be answered. And once in a while, sometimes the answer lies deeper than even the best purchased resources can handle. How do you find the answer you seek? That’s what this webinar will cover.

Areas Covered in the Webinar:

• The basics of using the IRS website
• Searching the DOL website
• Can you submit e-mail questions to the IRS, the DOL and their state equivalents?
• How to use a search engine to find the state information you need even if you don’t know the name of the agency
• Tips for researching the actual state statutes to find the right answer in the least amount of time
• Learn where else to look when wage and hour or tax laws do not have the answers
• Telephonic payroll research
• Screening false information when doing an internet search—not everyone on the internet has the right answer
• Building your payroll library for free

Who Will Benefit:

• Payroll Professionals
• Human Resources
• Accounting Personnel

• Any individual or entity that must find the information necessary for the accurate and regulation compliant function of a payroll department
