Payroll professionals are in high demand! Payroll is a key element of many businesses. As soon as a business grows enough to need help, payroll becomes an issue. Why don’t YOU become the solution!

Now you are ready to begin the hiring process. On-boarding an employee means you put those laws in action by setting up their employee record. Learn the importance of pay periods. Provide the employees with key documents such as the W-4 and I-9.

    Payroll The Easy Way

    5.0

    I would like to thank you Mr. Eric. for making this course. It was simplified and straight to the point. Believe or not I’ve learned a lot from this short course than I have in other courses like this one. I have taken a QBO course before but never as short and sweet as this one. And I never knew about the free QBO practice course online. I hope this course and with some practice, it will help me land a job in a payroll position. Again, Thank You so much.
