Payroll laws are varied, hence need to be applied thoroughly and thoughtfully

Payroll laws set out the rules for which payroll regulations are to be enforced. Payroll laws and regulations have been enacted since it is through the payroll that employees not only get paid; it is also the same source for taxation and other deductions. Every organization that has a payroll system has to adhere to these payroll laws and regulations. The federal Department of Labor (DoL) sets out payroll laws and regulations, which the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) enforces. Payroll laws and regulations apply at the State and local levels.

Purpose of payroll laws

The fundamental function of payroll laws and regulations is to ensure that employers pay their employees the wages in accordance with the minimum wage limit set out by federal laws. Payroll laws and regulations are meant to ensure that employees do not get underpaid for their work.

The federal government makes a few deductions as part of payroll laws, while a few other kinds of deductions are levied by the States, and this rate varies from state to state. Ensuring compliance with the requisite payroll laws is an obligation on the part of employers who are bound by the provisions of the payroll laws. Employers who fail to do so invite legal action from the DoL.

In order to comply with the set payroll laws; professionals in charge of payroll functions in organizations need to have a complete and proper grasp of the way payroll laws are enacted. They need to be completely clear about the exact laws that they need to apply, the ways of doing so, the implications of not getting payroll laws right, and so on. All these will be part of a very valuable training session that GlobalCompliancePanel, a leading provider of professional trainings for the regulatory compliance areas, is organizing.
