For anyone with a basic understanding of how payroll works, it’s clear you won’t get far unless you prioritize regulatory compliance. Non-compliance with payroll regulations has serious legal and financial consequences, including hefty fines, the risk of audits and lawsuits, and worst of all: permanent damage to your company’s reputation. You’re limiting sales potential, risking customer relationships, and breaking employee trust all at once. To avoid all this, it’s essential to put a payroll compliance plan in place that ensures you’re always covered against risk.
