As a payroll professional, I define payroll ethics as keeping the highest standards when doing our jobs. This includes always being proactive in processing payrolls; ensuring confidentiality in all our work; performing due diligence in order to determine that employees are paid timely, fairly and accurately; treating all employees fairly and with professional courtesy. Ethical treatment of the payroll process will also involve regular audits to ensure that payrolls are accurate. Payroll ethics also encompasses a transparent process that maintains confidentiality, and separation of duties that ensures fairness.
Course Objectives:
• The meaning of ethics as it applies to payroll.
• Understanding all the aspects of attitudes and processes that affect payroll ethics.
• The crucial place of confidentiality in payroll data and communications.
• Adapting measures to ensure compliance.
• How segregation of team duties assists in ethical practices.
Why Should You Attend:
Payroll is a complex process with regulation and oversight from multiple governmental agencies. The complexity of the required compliance makes it especially important that practitioners understand the concepts of confidentiality, fairness and accuracy as it applies to employee pay. Ensuring that all Federal, state and local rules are applied across the board is a primary responsibility of the payroll team. The webinar will review and discuss the ethical concepts underlying a focused and high-performing payroll team, while also touching on data privacy and security.
