Think of those records as your shield against the dreaded IRS audit. Painstaking recordkeeping demonstrates your commitment to running a responsible business. Plus, federal laws (like the FLSA) and an assortment of state requirements dictate how long you need to hold on to specific payroll documents.
Understanding the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) is foundational for employers and employees alike, whether you’re navigating the complex landscape of payroll compliance or negotiating pay.
