Payroll isn’t just about doling out paychecks. It’s a complex system involving numerous elements, such as calculating employee hours, tax withholdings, and various other deductions. Then, there’s the matter of making sure those funds actually make it into your employee’s bank account.
If payroll sounds overwhelming, read on as we break it down in this guide.
What Is Payroll? Payroll is a crucial process every small business needs to master. It’s not just handing out paychecks to employees but rather involves a series of steps that ensure everyone gets paid accurately and on time while also fulfilling tax and other legal obligations.
Wage theft is a major employment issue nationwide, especially in larger states like California. It happens when employers don’t pay their employees what they’ve rightfully earned, such as skipping out on overtime, denying breaks, or misclassifying workers. Wage theft is more common than you might think, affecting millions of workers across the state.
Thankfully, California is taking measures to prevent it — like passing the Wage Theft Prevention Act (WTPA). This law cracks down on wage theft, strengthens workers’ rights, and ensures that workers are paid what they’re owed.
