Payroll related rules change frequently, and staying on top of them can be challenging for small businesses. From minimum wage increases to changes in payroll tax rates, there are many things you need to keep track of to ensure your business remains compliant.
Here are some of the key payroll related rules you need to track annually:
- Federal and state minimum wage rates. Minimum wage rates can change annually at both the federal and state levels. Make sure you are paying all your employees at least the minimum wage in your state.
- Payroll tax rates. Payroll tax rates can change from year to year. Make sure you are withholding the correct amount of payroll taxes from your employees' wages.
- Overtime rules. Federal and state overtime rules can change. Make sure you understand the rules that apply to your business and that you are paying eligible employees overtime when required.
