BE PART OF THE LEGACY

TAMPA BAY • FEBRUARY 23-24 2026

This FINAL encore experience will be unlike any other. Because like everything we do, it's been "reimagined" from beginning to end. It's not a virtual or hybrid event. It's not a conference. It's not a seminar, a workshop, a meeting, or a symposium. And it's not your typical run-of-the-mill everyday event crammed with stages, keynote speeches, team-building exercises, PowerPoint presentations, and all the other conventional humdrum. Because it's up close & personal by design. Where conversation trumps presentation. And where authentic connection runs deep.

5 Payroll Tips for Small Business Owners

Running a payroll at a small business is not easy, and many small business owners make the mistake of underestimating how complicated the process can become. If you are to run your small business successfully for the long-run, make sure you take payroll matters seriously. Here are five tips that should help you get started.

  1. Classify Workers Appropriately

If you are running a small business in the 21st century, you probably have several different types of employees. For instance, you may have some full-time employees, part-time workers and freelancers. Ensure you are classifying each worker appropriately when filing taxes or putting out other payroll related paperwork. If you are confused about how to properly classify your workers, or you need any other type of assistance with your company’s payroll, do not hesitate to visit our site and look at the payroll services we offer.

  1. Proper Employer ID Information

Whether you are hiring citizens from the country, or workers who are in the country on a work visa, you must make sure you have the appropriate identification information for every employee. Depending on how the taxes work in your area, you may have to enter specific employee IDs when you are filling out tax forms. Ensure you have all the right documentation on your employees, as you do not want to get into any trouble with the government at a future date.

  1. Data Entry Reviews

When you have employees working on the company’s payroll, ensure they are the type of employees who will double and triple-check all their entries before submitting anything. Payroll software makes things easier, but manual data entries are still an important part of the process. The wrong data entry can cost a company a ton of money, or put you into tax trouble with the government. Adding the wrong number, or something as simple as forgetting a zero, can cause serious complications. Make sure your employees are aware of the data they are entering each time.

  1. Budgets

Every small business should have a budget for how much they are willing to spend on their employees. Not only will the budget help you figure out how many people you can hire, but it will also give you an indication about how much you are willing to pay for certain positions. For instance, you may have some positions that pay a base wage, while more important positions will result in a higher salary. In either case, you need a budget to keep everything manageable from a financial point of view. And make sure you include the tax costs when calculating your budget, as those can add up very quickly.

  1. Double Check, Even with Technology

When companies set up a payroll software, they are often lulled into a false sense of security. It is very easy to think that when you have the software setup, it is going to take care of everything for you. And while it is true that payroll software makes the entire process easier and more efficient, software can make mistakes as well. It is important to have fallback systems in place to ensure that any errors are caught before the payroll is processed each cycle. Whether it is another software to run through the numbers, or an employee who manually checks everything, these checks and balances are vital.
