One of the hardest parts about owning a small business is the rules and laws of getting your employees paid.
This workshop is perfect for ag businesses with a few employees or farm hands to understand the details of payroll.
While geared towards ag businesses, this workshop could be useful to nearly any small business just getting started. The following topics will be covered:
· Employee Classification
· Labor Laws
· Payroll Computation
· Payroll Deposits
· Employee Benefits
Cost is $40 to attend. Please pre-register by contacting Chelsea Plummer at KFMA for additional information or to register. Contact Chelsea Plummer at 316-393-1830 or [email protected].
