Overview: Writing procedures for a payroll department is an arduous and time consuming task, but it must be done in order for a payroll department to function at peak efficiency. This webinar will discuss one method of tackling the task of writing payroll procedures.

Written procedures ensure that each task is done completely, accurately, and in the same manner each time it is performed. This enables a payroll department to perform each task correctly and consistently no matter how many times or who performs the duty. This is especially true in large departments. However, even single person departments can benefit from written procedures. In addition, written procedures are helpful in training new or back-up personnel. An added bonus for a payroll department that writes payroll procedures is that it forces the department to look at how they perform each process. It shines a light on that process and aids in streamlining procedures and cleaning up the bad habits that may have built up over the years. It can also assist new supervisors and managers in assessing and evaluating department procedures in a non-combative way.

Why should you attend: Writing procedures for a payroll department is an arduous and time consuming task, but it must be done in order for a payroll department to function at peak efficiency. Not having and following up to date and tested written procedures can leave the department open to compliance issues as well as poorly executed processing and time wasting redundant tasks.
