Top 7 Payroll Mishaps & How to Avoid Them By Elizabeth C Foster
7. Misclassifying Workers: Workers fall into one of several categories: Salaried, Hourly, Temporary, Contract, Full-Time or Part-Time. Correctly identifying each employee’s category will save headaches and possible tax mistakes and penalties in the long-run.
