Prepare by Asking Difficult Questions BEFORE Starting a Small Business

Posted by Sherri on March 24, 2015

Far too often, The Payroll Department is reminded of the incredible risk taken by entrepreneurs with a strong spirit. We drive down a street and notice some type of new small business. A few months or maybe a year later, we drive again down the same street but notice that the small business has vanished.

I don’t know anyone – employees or employers, alike – who doesn’t look forward to a holiday. After all, it’s a day away from work that you can spend with family and friends – or just by yourself – celebrating, having fun and relaxing. But for small business owners, there’s more to holidays than just a day off. (more…)

How to Turn One Lost Customer Into Many Lost Opportunities

Posted by Teresa Ray on February 24, 2015

I recently gained a new client through what might seem one of the oddest situations. The client showed up at my office and I could tell she had obviously been crying. Sporting moist eyes and blotchy patches on her cheeks and neck, I could tell the emotion behind the tears was strong. The story she told made me cringe – and it wasn’t even about payroll or payroll taxes. Not only did I cringe because it was so painful, but also because it was one that I have heard all too often.

Oops! Is NOT What You Want to Hear When Dealing with Payroll

Posted by Jessica on February 10, 2015

“Oh, it was just an honest mistake!” How many times have you heard (or said) that phrase? It is often used to describe a small error that was done with no malice or ill will and even conveys a sense that there was no real harm done. And sometimes that is true. But sometimes even what seems like a small mistake or an error that was not made due to recklessness or spite can have far-reaching consequences, especially when it has to do with payroll. (more…)
