Payroll might seem like a straightforward process for business owners: Calculate hours, apply pay rates, factor in deductions. However, behind the scenes, proper payroll management involves thorough recordkeeping. It’s what keeps your business compliance up to date and protected.

Plus, federal laws (like the FLSA) and an assortment of state requirements dictate how long you need to hold on to specific payroll documents.
Tax nexus refers to a relationship between a business entity and a taxing jurisdiction.

Determining where you have each type of nexus is a critical—and complicated—compliance task.
