What is Multi-State Payroll?

Remote work is becoming increasingly popular with businesses and employees: According to estimates, flexible work arrangements have become three to ten times more common since 2019. Offering remote work options can give employers access to a national talent pool, reduce overhead costs, and help businesses attract and retain the best people for their teams. This shift also means that an increasing number of companies face multi-state payroll obligations. If you employ out-of-state remote workers, have business locations in multiple states, or have employees who travel for work, you may be required to withhold taxes in multiple states.

What Is a Registered Agent & Why Would You Need One?

For most people, government and legal correspondence isn’t the world’s most exciting type of mail. It’s less fun than, say, an invitation to a swanky party or your most recent fruitcake-of-the-month club delivery. For business owners, however, effectively receiving and handling these communications is a critical part of running a business. If you miss a notification, you might lose your ability to do business in a state or be unable to defend yourself against a legal action.
