Is your workers' comp seamlessly integrated with your payroll, or is it falling short? Imagine facing an unexpected audit. This week on Kaizen Time, we dive into the crucial steps your business needs to take to comply with government labor laws. https://hubs.li/Q02XSZPP0

Worker's comp is crucial for your business, and neglecting it can lead to significant repercussions. By integrating it correctly with your payroll, you can ensure peace of mind moving forward.

Your worker's comp rate, and consequently the audit, are linked to the level of risk involved in the job. Construction sites and restaurants undergo thorough reviews because of the sheer number and diversity of claims they receive.

Adjusting salary, overtime, and payroll can significantly impact your business if not handled properly. In this episode of Kaizen Time, we dive into salary and overtime changes that might make you rethink your employees' work hours.

☕Coffee Shop Managers making $20/hour, salaried at 40 hours a week, still qualify for overtime under the current payroll laws. These laws change yearly and because of this it is crucial that your business stays on top of payroll changes.

Recent changes in payroll and wages have blurred the line between hourly and salaried employees. Now, some salaried workers will qualify for overtime if their pay doesn't meet the minimum hourly rate.

This week on Kaizen Time, we dive into the world of charitable contributions, exploring how they can be a powerful way to engage with your community. Beyond offering services, these contributions can also bring significant benefits to your business. Tune in to this episode to discover how to maximize the impact of your giving. https://hubs.li/Q02XSNcD0
