FAQs
What is payroll management?
Payroll management is the process of paying your employees and contractors accurately and on time. It includes calculating wages, managing deductions (like taxes and benefits), handling garnishments, and maintaining all necessary financial records while ensuring compliance with regulations.
What are the steps in the payroll process?
The typical payroll process starts with collecting employee information and setting up a pay schedule.
