Pay-Privacy Act: Companies Can’t Ask Job Applicants About Previous Salary
by Payroll Systems @ Payroll Systems
Fri Jan 19 01:00:31 PST 2018
Many new laws are effective this month including the prohibition of employers asking potential candidates for hire how much their previous salary was. In job applications and interviews one of the most common questions asked to candidates is, “What was your previous salary/What is your current salary?” Salary history of potential employees helps employers determine how much the candidate will be compensated if hired. To close the gender pay gap, a new San Francisco, CA ordinance effective Jan. 1, 2018 prohibits employers from asking this question. Other cities and states have already had this law in effect including Delaware and New York City. Throughout the next two years, Massachusetts, New Orleans, Oregon, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Puerto Rico will also join in. How does this have any effect on gender you might wonder? If a woman is paid less than her men counterparts doing the exact same job and a new employer bases her new salary on her prior salary, gender discrimination is perpetuated. The law bans the act of asking prior/current salary verbally, in-writing, or by a third-party agency. However, if the candidate voluntarily offers this information, the employer can use this information to determine how much the new hire will be compensated. In addition, employers must provide a salary range to job seekers who inquire about how much money the vacant job will be paying. This new law signed by Governor Jerry Brown back in October 2017 is applicable to all public and private sectors in the state of California. Some advice to employers to ease your way into this new law: Make revisions to employment applications to remove any questions that allude to asking candidates about their prior salary Make adjustments to your screening and interview processes to ensure questions about salary history are eliminated Train your hiring managers how to properly respond to requests for pay scale information and voluntary disclosure by the candidate of their previous salary Have pay scale information ready to provide to applicants when requested.

Most of us are diligent about maintaining the various aspects of our life. We swap out the batteries on our smoke detectors with regularity; we schedule annual physicals, and get our car’s oil changed based on the manufacturer’s mileage recommendation. Still, many of us tend to take better care of our cars than we do our financial life. The irony being, an un-tended financial life can break down just as assuredly as an under-serviced automobile. It can run out of gas, but it can also seize up and need a roadside tow. In short, a well-examined financial life is worth exploring. 1. Schedule. Set a recurring point in time for... Read More

Important Update: IRS Releases New Form W-4 and Withholding Calculator
by Payroll Systems @ Payroll Systems
Wed Mar 07 08:27:25 PST 2018
So you may have heard…but if not, we have your back! The IRS released a new Form W-4 and Withholding Calculator to help employees and employers make an easy transition after the new tax law passed at the end of last year. Form W-4: What’s Different? In adherence to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, Removal of personal exemptions Increase of child tax credit Limit/discontinue certain deductions Change to the tax rates and brackets Employees who may need to revise their W-4: Those who are part of a two-income family Those who are working multiple jobs at the same time or have only worked for part of the year Those with children who claim credits such as the Child Tax Credit Those who itemized deductions in 2017 Those with high incomes and more complex tax returns “Following the major changes in the tax law, the IRS encourages employees to check their paychecks to help ensure they’re having the right amount of tax withheld for their personal situation,” reported Acting IRS commissioner David Kautter. Tips for Employers: Encourage your employees to use the new Tax Withholding Calculator to be assured that they are not over/under withheld in Federal taxes The 2018 W-4 Withholding Form is a 4 page document that the employee completes. It is the employer’s responsibility to make these 2018 W-4 Withholding Forms available to employees. Use your HRIS platform for a paperless W-4 revision; be aware of your employees who may need to revise their W-4 by reading the above section, “Employees who may need to revise a W-4” How do you get the new Form W-4? The new W-4 is available on the IRS website, Payroll Systems website, and built-in to InfinityHR software as part of the standard onboarding module*. *Please note: InfinityHR is for Payroll Systems clients who are using our HRIS services.

Labor Law Posters FAQs – Update Yours For 2018
by Payroll Systems @ Payroll Systems
Wed Dec 27 12:01:47 PST 2017
Labor Law postings in workplace areas are required in every state if you have employees on payroll in those states. For example, if your company is headquartered in the Silicon Valley or San Francisco Bay Area, but you have multiple locations across the country and have employees on payroll at each location, this applies to you! First, let’s dive into the nitty-gritty and answer some FAQ’s about labor law posters. What are labor law posters? In the state of California, each business is required by law to have compliance postings displayed in the buildings/facilities that their employees are working. State and federal labor law postings are mandatory as they cover topics like minimum wage changes and ordinances about health & safety. Where can I get a labor law poster? Full-sized and laminated labor law posters are available for purchase from the following locations: Staples Office Depot If you are in California, you can print a downloadable version from the State of California’s Department of Industrial Relations website: www.dir.ca.gov (there are specific regulations when printing directly from a government site; if you print without following those guidelines, your posters may not be compliant) If in a different state, all requiring agencies provide downloadable versions for free. However, there may be other labor law poster requirements that may not be included, and these posters are not guaranteed up-to-date. Payroll Systems offers a year-round labor law posting compliance solution that includes a new poster every year at no extra charge as part of our HR services. Our HR services also include real time telephone access to an HR expert, an e-library on a variety of HR topics, and video training tools for your employees. If you are interested in learning more about our HR services or how to obtain a labor law poster solution, contact us today by filling out the form below! Where do you display labor law posters? Labor law posters should be displayed somewhere apparent to all employees on a daily basis, such as a break room or main lobby. If you have multiple locations, then each workplace should display its own posters. What is the penalty for failing to display labor law posters? Federal and state fines are imposed by various agencies. These fines may vary. Failure to comply with posting regulations can result in fines of up to $33,486 per location (29 USC Sec.666(i) and 29 USC Sec.2005). Examples of the most common fines are: Federal FMLA $166 per offense Federal Employee Polygraph Protection Act – The Secretary of the Labor can bring court actions and assess civil penalties for failing to post. The Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA) may bring court actions and assess civil penalties as well. For failing to post the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity is the Law Poster – You can receive a penalty that is up to $534 per violation. For failing to post the Federal OSHA poster – A civil penalty of up to $12,674 may occur. For failing to post the CAL/OSHA Poster – You can receive a penalty of up to $7,000 per violation. What if there are labor law updates mid-year? Will we be receiving new posters? Updates are very common and need to be displayed. Payroll Systems clients on HR Services are proactively sent e-updates every time a state or federal update occurs, the compliant PDFs can be easily displayed next to their posters. Make sure your poster service is providing mid-year updates. Our headquarters are in California, but I have remote employees in different states, are labor law posters required in those additional locations? If you own a business in California but have multiple locations across the country with employees on payroll at each location, you are required by law to have a labor law poster at those locations too! Make sure you have posters up at every location you have employees working. This applies to remote workers as well; electronic versions of these posters are great substitutes for your employees who don’t work in any of your offices/locations. Giving your employees access to what the labor laws are is what matters. However, electronic versions of the labor law posters are not good substitutes for the rest of the business. These posters MUST be posted up in a common area of your work space. Remote workers are permitted to receive electronic versions. Don’t forget to contact us if you want more information regarding Labor Law Posters!

Visa is paying out a jackpot to vendors willing to bet against old money, and roll the dice on cashless transactions. Visa will give $10,000 to 50 restaurants that pledge to go cashless. The new initiative, what Visa executive Jack Forestall calls “a journey to go cashless,” will incentivize vendors to rip off the bandaid of paper transactions and progress to a cashless system. The money can be used for marketing and updating point of sale technology to focus payment exclusively on credit and debit cards and electronic payment. Visa will select participating merchants in August. Cash remains the predominate method of payment, according to the Federal Reserve. A report... Read More

Your Guide to Direct Deposit During the Holidays
by rapid! PayCard @ rapid! PayCard
Thu Nov 16 05:07:27 PST 2017
The holiday season is around the corner, which for some means eggnog and lights on display, but for others it means payroll delays. Automated payment through direct deposit is proven to be more efficient, secure and cost-effective than paper checks. Still, there are a few considerations to keep in mind when switching over to electronic payment — especially around the holidays. The holiday season is a double-edged sword: it’s likely the most expensive time of the year, but is also full of banking holidays which can affect the timeliness of direct deposit. Here’s why.

Millions of Americans have jobs with little security, no benefits and irregular pay — and they love it. The gig economy is a booming business model that has changed the way employees make money.

Nearly a third of the working population have a gig, according to Investopedia.

6 Benefits of Outsourcing Your Payroll Management
by Payroll Systems @ Payroll Systems
Fri Mar 16 01:00:42 PDT 2018
As your company begins to grow, managing payroll for your employees can become tiresome, expensive, and complicated! Doing your payroll in-house requires you to calculate, file and pay federal, state, and local payroll taxes accurately, keep up with changes in tax regulations to ensure you are staying compliant with the law, cut and print your own checks, and assume responsibility for any penalties associated with tax filing omissions. But don’t be discouraged – payroll is a business function that CAN, and probably should, be outsourced. Here are some advantages to outsourcing your payroll management to consider if you are on the fence: 1. It’s cheaper Save money on overhead costs. Each pay period, administering payroll involves the following tasks: Calculate employee hours, deductions, PTO, sick leave and taxes Print, sign, and distribute paychecks and stubs to employees Process direct deposits and electronic payments Prepare and submit local, state, and federal payroll taxes In addition, the employee(s) who processes the payroll is responsible for keeping up-to-date with new tax rates/laws. This is paid time that could be allocated to different areas of their job. 2. You’ll stay compliant with federal and state law There are many tax codes and payroll regulations that you need to stay on top of and understand. Avoid any mistakes and the legal responsibility of inaccurate reporting. Hiring an outsourced payroll service can help to minimize your risk of these mistakes and wrong calculations. 3. You’re supported by experts Payroll companies have a team of experienced professionals in the payroll and HR industry who are likely staying current with the ever-changing tax codes and payroll regulations mentioned above. You’re guaranteed expert advice, resources to refer to, and answers to your questions. 4. Oh, the time you’ll save! Significant labor hours are spent processing payroll and W2s – it is not a productive use of time for your business, but it needs to get done. Your human resources or accounting personnel responsible for payroll could instantly free up their time to focus on more strategic tasks by allowing a payroll service bureau to take over this part of the job. 5. Employees have access to their own information Employees are given access to their own personal information with payroll service bureaus who also have an HRIS (Human Resource Information System) product. This eliminates any delay in getting employee information they need. They can also update their information (e.g. address changes) and enroll for benefits – saving both the employer and employee time. 6. You can focus on your core business Ultimately, with the time and money saved by outsourcing your payroll, you can focus on what’s most important – your company’s mission. It’s one less thing for you to worry about! If you’re interested in outsourcing your payroll, contact us today!
5 Employee Recognition Techniques for Employee Retention
by Payroll Systems @ Payroll Systems
Fri Feb 23 01:30:12 PST 2018
It’s only human to want to feel a sense of recognition and appreciation for your hard work and dedication. Some companies lose their best employees simply because the working environment doesn’t give them enough recognition, or validation that the work they are producing is making an impact. In honor of Employee Appreciation Day coming in March, let’s take a moment to evaluate your employee recognition strategy. What are you doing to make your employees feel special? Is it frequent? Here are a few tried and true techniques of showing your employees they are appreciated: Employee Appreciation Day Invest in an annual or quarterly Employee Appreciation Day. Ensuring your company provides a balanced working environment for your employees, how about a half-day of paid time dedicated to fun? Cater some food, organize some activities that employees could participate in and win prizes, have them invite their family to meet the team, etc. An event like this that takes place in the workplace could alleviate the association of stress with coming to work. Handwritten Thank-You Notes If an employee completes a task, takes initiative, or goes above and beyond in their efforts, a handwritten note to acknowledge their hard work can go a long way. It shows that you care, that you notice, and that what they are doing is making a difference for the company. It doesn’t have to be paragraphs of sappy gratitude, but a simple “thank you for taking time on this project” may suffice. Gifts for “Years of Service” Often, companies get lucky when employees choose to stay for a long time. Reward them with gifts when they’ve been with the company for 1, 5, 10, or 15 years! Put together a catalog of gifts that employees can choose from come time for these working milestones. Company Picnic/Holiday Party During times that aren’t considered business hours (e.g. evenings after work or on the weekends), you can organize company dinners or parties depending on the size of your company. This is a once-a-year event fully equipped with dinner/lunch, unlimited, non-alcoholic beverages, raffles or games, and maybe even speeches/awards. Organizing an event like this gives employees an opportunity for a good time with their coworkers outside of the office while being recognized for their hard work. Surprises Randomly bring a box of donuts for your team in the morning. Cater lunch every now and then. Pass out Starbucks gift cards. Anything that shows you care. Surprising your staff with goodies on an impromptu basis doesn’t hurt. No matter what you decide, these simple acts of gratitude let members of your team know they are valued and without them, the business wouldn’t succeed!

Emerging Peer-to-peer payment technology is growing in popularity, and will soon make back-of-napkin IOUs obsolete. Peer-to-peer payment, also known as P2P payment, is online technology that allows users to transfer funds from a bank account or credit card via the internet or mobile phone. One study found that nearly a quarter of mobile users sent money to another person from an app in 2016 — this statistic nearly triples when it comes to the millennial generation. The growing trend of P2P payment is just another chapter in 21st century technological augmentation of traditional services.
