Your business is moving along nicely, but lately there is one employee who seems to be having a hard time. He is coming in late, has a bad attitude, and is not working up to his usual standard. What should you do? [Read more…]
Wage and Hour Compliance
Four years ago you started a business. The first year you made barely enough to get by and sometimes you went without a paycheck. In year two you were a little busier, but you could handle most of the work yourself. Year three, things got a little busier, so you hired people on a contract basis and simply issued them a 1099 at the end of the year, and a check when they worked. No worries about taxes, compliance or insurance. [Read more…]
Becoming an Entreprenuer
For some of us, working for a great company, with good benefits and co-workers we like is all we ever wanted. But sometimes, no matter how great the company is that we work for, having our own business, being our own boss, is a calling. [Read more…]
Payroll Services – Sick Days
Most companies have a fixed policy regarding the number of sick days they offer to their Employees. In the case of injury or a serious illness there are some exceptions made, but for the most part is important that company policies regarding Maternity, Paternity and Sick Leave are all spelled out clearly so there are no misunderstandings on anyone’s part.
I know that many of the companies we work with have a very limited sick leave policy, only 4 or 5 days. But I was curious to find out what the basic guidelines are. From the Bureau of Labor Statistics it looks like the average number of paid sick days for white collar workers is around 8 days. For blue collar workers, the average appears to be more like 6 days.
These are not regulations, especially if your company is under certain number of employees.
Should you want to learn more about the paid leave policies and how it affects your company, Complete Employee Solutions is here to answer your questions!!

We also want to be a repository for helpful information for all shapes and sizes of companies in our area here in Indian River County. Before you hire an employee, make certain you read and understand this information from the IRS. gov website:
“To know how much income tax to withhold from employees’ wages, you should have a Form W-4, Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate (PDF), on file for each employee. Ask all new employees to give you a signed Form W-4 when they start work. Make the form effective with the first wage payment. If employees claim exemption from income tax withholding, they must indicate this on their W-4. The amount of income tax withholding must be based on filing status and withholding allowances as indicated on the form. If a new employee does not give you a completed Form W-4, withhold tax as if he or she is single, with no withholding allowances. Additional withholding may be required on wages paid to non-resident aliens.
A Form W-4 remains in effect until the employee gives you a new one. If employees claim exemption from income tax withholding, they must give you a new Form W-4 each year. If an employee gives you a Form W-4 that replaces an existing Form W-4, begin withholding no later than the start of the first payroll period ending on, or after the 30th day, from the date you received the replacement Form W-4. For exceptions and invalid Forms W-4, refer to Publication 15 Circular E, Employer’s Tax Guide.
You may also refer your employees to the withholding allowance calculator. Remember that this application is to help employees to ensure that they do not have too much or too little income tax withheld from their pay. It is not a replacement for Form W-4, but most people will find it more accurate and easier to use than the worksheets that accompany Form W-4. They may use the results of this program to help them complete a new Form W-4, which they will submit to their employer. Special rules may apply to agricultural employers.”
If you find any of this information confusing, remember, we are pretty much experts at Payroll and Employee Leasing.
