Quiz Time! 💡💡💡

Payroll compliance can be a daunting task for employers trying to understand federal, state, and local requirements as well as internal policies and procedures.

FTE Calculation

The calculation of full-time equivalent (FTE) is an employee's scheduled hours divided by the employer's hours for a full-time workweek. When an employer has a 40-hour workweek, employees who are scheduled to work 40 hours per week are 1.0 FTEs. Employees scheduled to work 20 hours per week are 0.5 FTEs. “Employers may use the FTE calculation for different purposes, such as benchmarking revenues or profits per employee.

Expanding Open Enrollment

“Given the ongoing competition for talent, anything that communicates the value of employee benefits is taking on greater importance. By deliberately expanding open enrollment for certain benefits, employers are creating a constant feedback loop on what employees use and value.

For example, in California, final checks must be given upon termination or within 72 hours if the worker resigned. Whereas Florida has no laws regulating final payments when an individ

Is On-Demand Pay A Good Idea?

“Research suggests that more than 60 percent of U.S. workers would like to be able to access their earnings before their regularly scheduled paydays. Responding to this desire, many employers now offer so-called on-demand pay arrangements that allow employees to receive their wages the same day they earn it. While this may be a valuable recruiting and retention tool for employers, the immediate availability of wages carries with it certain tax implications for employers that
