Payroll Preparation for Year End 2017 and Year Beginning 2018
Hillsboro, OR, October 13, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Edupliance announces a webinar titled, “Payroll Preparation for Year End 2017 and Year Beginning 2018” that aims to prepare the payroll department for the end of the calendar tax year and the new year processing, including reconciling, completing and submitting Form W-2 federal and state, update to annual changes from the IRS, SSA, DOL and on the state level, and best practices that will help make the year-end and year beginning go smoother. The event goes live on Tuesday, October 31, from 01:00 PM to 02:30 PM, Eastern Time.
Preparing for year-end should not begin in October or November as it may have in the past. Preparation should begin in January and be conducted throughout the calendar year. This is especially important now as the IRS is looking at year-end compliance issues. This webinar provides best practices to help a payroll department transition from a year-end crunch to a smooth and compliant year-end process. The webinar will also discuss how checklists can help keep a payroll department on track to ensure all tasks are completed. Attendees will learn how a simple two-page memo can prevent dozens of employee questions. The speaker will also cover duplicate form W-2 request form and procedures should be set up and in place in advance of issuing the forms and how it will assist attendees when processing those requests in the upcoming year. Updates for the calendar year 2018 on such items as social security wage base, deferred compensation limits, mileage rates and Forms W-2 and 941 will also be provided.
The 90-minute webinar will be conducted by Vicki Lambert, CPP, who has over 35 years of hands-on experience in all facets of payroll functions as well as over 20 years as a trainer and author. Ms. Lambert has become the most sought-after and respected voice in the practice and management of payroll issues. She has conducted open market training seminars on payroll issues across the United States that have been attended by executives and professionals from some of the most prestigious firms in business today.
