What’s the best way to avoid expensive and time-consuming errors in the payroll management process?
Why, avoid them, of course! In this webinar, you’ll learn tips that can help make payroll processing easier and methods to verify all your payroll variables before you commit a final payroll to your IT team or your outside processor!
You’ll learn: how to create the most efficient checklists for your pre-processing checks; the best way to create your calendar for a full year, encompassing all pay frequencies as well as holidays and days that will affect a specific cycle; how to create your own reports for audit purposes; as well as how to use your payroll vendor’s available reports for your best results. Running a payroll preview, verifying your totals, and creating a comparison — these are all strategies to be used to ensure that your payroll management process is as accurate as you can make it.
The webinar will touch on all aspects of payroll “ins” and “outs”. These include hires, terminations, leaves, pay increases, benefit deductions and changes, and employer payments.
