How many times have you had to juggle your schedule in order to attend a business event or go on vacation and keep up with priority administrative tasks such as payroll or taxes at the same time? Have you had to delay leaving for your trip because you have to be available to get payroll checks out or submit tax reports and payments? What a bummer to have to rush and operate on such a tight schedule, huh?

Last Thursday, July 24th, 2 million Americans received a 70¢ raise moving the minimum wage from 5.85 to 6.55 per hour. Of course, this will raise employers’ payroll expenses so I suppose you could say the federal government also got a raise.

Be ready for another 70¢ raise next year in July moving it up to 7.25 per hour.

As of November 7, 2007 the new revised I-9 Form (revised 06/05/2007) must be used to verify employment eligibility.
