Overview:

There are a myriad of state and federal legislative requirements for payroll and human resource recordkeeping.

Thankfully, in the digital age, most if not all of the data is kept by companies in one form or another.

The challenge is to have it available when you need it. We will discuss the legislative requirements in detail.

There are too many agencies to count - both public and private - that can require access to your payroll and hr records. We will go over the most common ones, and how far back they can require records for.

More importantly, we will discuss rules of thumb and best practices based on the type of businesses you run. Using these simple tips, you can manage your data storage in order to be prepared for most any eventuality.

Also, we will discuss the specific information required in your records. For the most part, there is no specific format. The only thing required is to have the right information for the specific entity requiring it. This information is directly from top level companies who help organizations of every size.

Finally, we will go over electronic data storage and archiving. You will learn how to shop for IT systems that help you search for and find the specific data required for any inquiry. If properly done, it replaces all paper and reduces audit risk.
