Course Description/Agenda Payroll
law has become so complex and ever-changing that it’s easier to
make mistakes. That’s why we developed this unique workshop—to

most companies hauled into court—and ensure 100 percent accuracy

garnishments and levies, involuntary deductions and other benefit
administration challenges.

every employee, contractor, intern or other "special case" is
classified, paid and reported correctly—saving you from hassles,
headaches and potential lawsuits down the road.
Payroll
