Hot Topics in Payroll 2026

Overview

There are the certain difficult areas within payroll that can come across a professional’s desk at any time. Are you ready to handle them? In this webinar we will discuss seven separate topics that are currently burning up the payroll boards with questions. Get the information you need to deal with these seven hot topics today.

Background

Payroll is often a fast-paced profession when it comes to regulations and decision making. A normal day can be turned completely upside down when suddenly and unexpectedly an employee quits, is terminated or sadly, passes away! Are you prepared? Perhaps another government entity passed a sick leave ordinance and you’re not sure that your sick leave policy is compliant? You need the info on it now! Maybe you realize that the correct FICA taxes weren’t collected on the employee you terminated last week. You have to fix this now! But how? 

Areas Covered

1. Salary level test—What is the latest situation from the DOL on the minimum salary from the Biden/Trump Administrations for exempt employees and how it has impacted the states?
2. Sick leave laws—Who has passed one?  Who is now prevented from passing one?
3. Mailing paychecks—If I mail the employee’s regular paycheck, when is he considered paid?  When I mail it or when he gets it?
4. Using FIT to pay for FICA on terminated employees—failed to withhold FICA on a fringe benefit and the employee is now terminated, can I just take it from FIT?
5. Deceased employee wages including child support—Does child support come out of a deceased employee’s wages? What taxes must be withheld? What do I report in the year of death as opposed to the year after death?
6. Payday loans or voluntary wage assignments: if we get one, do we have to honor it? What if the employee doesn’t want us to?
7. Going Paperless: Who requires electronic filing? Who still accepts paper?
