2. Gather employee information: Collect all the necessary details about your employees, such as their names, addresses, social security numbers, and tax withholding allowances. This information will be essential for accurately calculating their wages and taxes.
3. Determine pay periods: Decide on the frequency of your payroll, whether it is weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly. Establishing a consistent pay period will ensure consistency and help you stay organized.
