Compliance guides and resources

Deel’s US customers now have access to Mosey’s state and local compliance service. Since the pandemic, the way we live and work has changed. More and more people work remotely, both across the US and internationally. This can be a huge benefit for employees and for businesses’ access to talent, and it can also be a huge headache making sure your business complies with all the laws that now apply across payroll, HR, tax and registration in all those different international countries, US states, counties and cities.

Business operations and all that they entail can often be a complex endeavor. Making matters worse are the many terms peppered throughout. One such term you might encounter during your foray into the world of business compliance and structure is “DBA.” So, what does this term mean, and how is it essential to your business’s identity? In this guide, we’ll unpack its definition, significance, and history.

Navigating the complexities of payroll tax can be a daunting task for any business leader, HR expert, or financial professional. We’re here to simplify the subject, breaking it down into its essential elements so you can focus on what truly matters: running a compliant and efficient business. From startup founders to HR veterans, here are the insights you need to understand payroll tax and its implications for your business.

As a taxpayer, it’s important to stay informed and up-to-date on a yearly basis. However, navigating the complexities of payroll compliance doesn’t need to be as complicated as it may seem. This is your definitive guide to understanding the FICA tax rate for 2024. What Is FICA? The Federal Insurance Contributions Act, commonly known as FICA, is a U.S. federal payroll tax that plays a critical role in funding Social Security and Medicare programs. All employee paychecks you issue will have two key deductions: 6.2% for Social Security tax and 1.45% for Medicare tax.

We’re very excited to introduce the Mosey sales tax registration beta! Since we went GA earlier this year (can you believe it’s almost been a year??), startup founders, controllers, and finance teams have been asking us to help them with sales tax. There are three critical parts of sales tax: registration, collection, and reporting—some providers will help with collection and/or reporting, but no sales tax provider wants to touch registration. That leaves a lot of grueling work to get your sales tax accounts set up across all 50 states (and the District of Columbia).

Understanding the difference between exempt and non-exempt employees is critical to properly running your business and paying your employees fairly. Review with Mosey the basics of exempt and non-exempt employees. What Is an Exempt Employee? When we talk about exempt employees, we’re referring to employees who aren’t covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). These employees are paid a fixed salary and are exempt from earning overtime pay, among other protections.

Paid sick leave (PSL) is time off that allows employees to recover from short-term illnesses or attend medical appointments without losing their regular wages. Unlike unpaid leave, which is federally mandated under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), PSL is employer-funded. Generally, employees accrue this type of leave based on hours worked. For instance, you could earn one hour of PSL for every 30 hours you work, up to a set limit, such as seven days per year. This means if employees become ill, they don’t have to choose between their paycheck and getting well.

Taxes aren’t exactly exciting — but they’re a necessary part of doing business. If the term State Unemployment Tax Act or SUTA sounds intimidating, don’t worry. Let’s break it down piece by piece. What Is SUTA? The State Unemployment Tax Act, commonly known as SUTA, is a state-level payroll tax that funds temporary unemployment benefits for individuals who have lost their jobs.

In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, having a plan in place for managing your human capital is key — and that’s where human resource planning (HRP) comes in. Human resource planning plays a critical role in making sure that your organization is well-equipped with the right talent at the right time. Today, we’re walking through the intricacies of HRP so you can implement this practice in your organization.

Compliance automation has proven to be a valuable tool across all businesses. Automating workflows has become crucial in growing companies — it clears employees’ time to focus on essential tasks that need a human touch. Let’s dive into what compliance automation is, its significance, and the substantial advantages it brings to businesses. What Is Compliance Automation? In simple terms, compliance automation uses software to keep a steady eye on your business, making sure everything lines up with the rules in each jurisdiction. It can transform tedious manual processes into a streamlined, centralized hub of compliance management.
