Happy National Payroll Week! Since its founding by the American Payroll Association in 1996, NPW has celebrated payroll professionals and sought to highlight their crucial contribution to the nation’s workforce. According to the National Payroll Week website, the celebration “is a national campaign to help America’s workers understand more about their paychecks, the payroll withholding system and other payroll-driven benefits.”

At Fuse Workforce Management, we’re well aware of the valuable contributions of payroll professionals, as well as some of the key challenges they face in doing their jobs. That’s why we’ve published several articles to help make their jobs a little bit easier and more productive.

Following payroll best practices includes having a payroll process and conducting a payroll audit to ensure that process is performing as it should. You have to check (and recheck) that you cross your t’s and dot your i’s. Before we go through the steps of how to conduct a payroll audit, let’s talk about why you should do it in the first place.
