Why Payroll Is More Than Just Cutting Checks

Hiring your first employee is a big milestone. But with that first paycheck comes a lot of questions—and potential risks.

Many small business owners don’t realize that payroll is one of the most heavily regulated parts of running a business. If it’s not done right, it can trigger fines, penalties, or even an audit.

Payroll Isn’t Just a Payment—It’s a Process:

• Withholding the right taxes (federal, state, Social Security, Medicare)

• Filing payroll tax forms like 941s and W-2s on time

• Staying compliant with labor laws (hourly vs. salary, overtime rules, etc.)

• Tracking benefits, retirement contributions, and PTO
  

DIY payroll software might help you run payroll, but it doesn’t always help you understand what’s happening or catch mistakes.
