Your Small Business Payroll Process Matters

It's important to avoid the temptation to run your payroll in any manner other than professional. Your employees are your most valuable asset and deserve the best you can provide for them in terms of pay and a well-managed payroll process.

In addition, payroll can be one of the greatest sources of frustration, costly errors and oversights, as well as potential for litigation or penalization from governament taxing agencies such the IRS. Getting your payroll process right from the start, or re-structuring it now to ensure that it is functioning optimally, will be one of your most profitable investments.
