Today’s workforce is more dynamic than ever before. People change jobs frequently and often work remotely for companies located in different states or countries. In large metropolitan areas, it’s common for employees to live in one state and work in another, whether they go into the office or work from home.
As a result of all this, something that used to be a fairly straightforward process — the monthly payroll — now entails much more complexity and nuance. Getting it wrong risks upsetting not only your employees but the IRS. The stakes are high.
Wiss’ Outsourced Payroll service allows businesses to leverage the expertise and technology of accounting professionals to deliver a seamless, on-time payroll process and ensure tax compliance across multiple locations.
Plus, clients gain access to all of the firm’s experts, who can anticipate and address any current or future needs. As a result, business leaders can rest easy knowing that their payroll will be in good hands, no matter what the future brings.
Solving the multistate puzzle
The days when all a company’s employees lived and worked in the same state were a much simpler time in terms of payroll. The accounting staff would have to learn and abide by the rules and regulations of that one state to ensure smooth sailing.
When the number of locations increases, so does the complexity. One of the biggest challenges of a geographically distributed remote workforce is that each state is unique in requiring businesses to withhold and remit payroll taxes. Plus, state tax laws are constantly changing, so it can be overwhelming to try to stay on top of everything.
Wiss’ professionals take all the guesswork out of the process and keep your business in compliance with all necessary filings and deposits, state employer contribution rate changes, and state registrations. In addition, the onboarding team prepares the powers of attorney so that all tax notices will go directly to Wiss, saving you time and stress.
