Best Practices for Keeping Your Employees’ Payroll Information Up to Date

One of your employees has informed you that they did not receive their payroll direct deposit. What happened? What will happen to the funds that you have sent them? There are several reasons why this employee may not have received their funds but the most common reason is they may have overlooked informing you of a change in their banking or personal information.

Here are some best practices that may help to reduce the risk of this happening to your employees.

How to Take Control and Get Organized

If you’re like most business owners, you’ve been hard at work building your business, and as a result, some of your workflow and processes may have taken a backseat. But let’s face it – as an owner, the lack of organization may have resulted in lost money (do you remember if all invoices were paid?) and quite a bit of frustration (exactly how long did it take to find that sales receipt last week?).
