What is the best way to avoid expensive and time-consuming payroll errors? Why, avoid them, of course! In this online seminar, you will learn tips and methods to verify all your payroll variables before you commit a final payroll to your IT team or your outside processor!

You will learn how to create the most efficient checklists for your pre-processing checks; the best way to create your calendar for a full year, encompassing all pay frequencies as well as holidays and days that will affect a specific cycle; how to create your own reports for audit purposes; as well as how to use your payroll vendor’s available reports for your best results.  Running a payroll preview, verifying your totals, and creating a comparison – are all strategies to be used to ensure that your payroll is as accurate as you can make it.
