America is the land of choice – but not when it comes to whether or not a worker is an employee or an independent contractor. As the workplace environment changes, employers are looking at how worker classification impacts their finances.
Just about every worker counts on it and almost every employer has paid it, but few understand it. What’s that? Unemployment taxes. Who pays it and how? Once you see how it works, it makes sense. The Payroll Department thinks it’s time everyone got an easy-to-understand explanation.
Some employees can work in jobs their entire life and never know anything about wage garnishments. As employers, you are probably not as lucky. Chances are that at some point you will be asked to garnish the wages of an employee. Do you know what to do?
The Payroll Department has had a lot of experience with wage garnishments. Garnishments are not something that employers or payroll services decide to do on their own. We receive official notification and are required to comply, even if an employee objects.
Our last blog talked about why employees should review their pay stubs. Now, Teresa Ray from The Payroll Department wanted me to share the reasons why keeping pay stubs is important.
When I was 11 years old, I discovered pay stubs strewn about in my brother’s car. I’d never seen pay stubs before and they looked really official. I asked if they should be kept somewhere safe and he said they weren’t important – not like the cash in his pocket. Even then, his answer didn’t seem correct.
Now, I KNOW his answer wasn’t correct. Teresa Ray from The Payroll Department in Brownsburg understands the importance of pay stubs and why employees should review them every payroll period.
