{"product_id":"the-employer-s-payroll-question-and-answer-book-2020-edition","title":"The Employer’s Payroll Question and Answer Book (2020 Edition)","description":"Once upon a time payroll was pretty simple. Figure each employee's gross pay, subtract federal, state and local taxes (and possibly three or four other deductions) and write a check for the net amount. Nothing stays simple for long though -- pretty soon along came direct deposit, 401(k) plans, cafeteria plans, vehicle allowances, the Earned Income Tax Credit, garnishments, third party sick pay, paycards, and a raft of other complications.For many small companies, payroll went from taking an hour or so each pay period to a process that can consume a whole day or more. And that's just to produce the paychecks -- there are usually various files to be written and reports to be filled out as well. Unless you have an accountant or a payroll service to handle things payroll can be a very confusing, time-consuming task. For a new employer it can be frustrating just figuring out how to get started; and even employers who've been at it for a while can run into problems when new situations arise or payroll laws change.The purpose of this book is to give a quick overview of what every employer needs to know about payroll. There are a number of sources of information for employers that can provide more detailed explanations of different topics (IRS Publication 15 or \"Circular E\" being the most important one). Appendix A lists a few additional sources and many others can be found using internet search engines. NOTE: The information in this book deals primarily with payroll laws and practices in the United States.NOTE2: Additional material on COVID-19 legislation affecting employers added on June 25, 2020.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1650488815\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1650488815.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Love, Paul E\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43366735446077,"sku":"BVV.1650488815.VG","price":10.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/1650488815-0.jpg?v=1784419949","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/the-employer-s-payroll-question-and-answer-book-2020-edition","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
