Your Action Items:
State Deposit Frequency & Unemployment Rate Notices
Keep an eye out for notices from tax agencies sent directly to you stating Deposit Frequency and Rate Changes for the upcoming year. State agencies do not send these notices directly to Premier Payroll; please forward any notices from tax agencies to us when received.
State/Local Minimum Wage Updates
Minimum wage changes are common at the beginning of the year. Please see the link below and review your employee pay rates to ensure your business is meeting legal requirements.
Online Client Access: for you and your employees
Our free service allows you and your employees access to Year-end reports, W-2s, and 1099s as soon as they're available. If you don't already have access, contact us today!
We provide a free service where your employees can access their pay stubs, W-2s and more 24/7.
Reach out to our payroll team to take advantage of this convenient, time-saving feature; all you need to do is provide employees' business or personal email addresses.
Once your employees' access has been setup, they can access their information on a desktop computer, mobile browser, or mobile app.
