☕ SATURDAY WISDOM FROM PHIL ☕
"Don't buy your coffee where you buy your gas." –Phil 😂
Truer words have never been printed on a mug! This one comes from our friend Phil, owner of Oak Hill Bulk Foods, and it's become a favorite around here.
It's also good business advice. Quality matters, whether it's your morning coffee or the people you trust with your business. 💚
So this Saturday, skip the gas station coffee and stop by Oak Hill Bulk Foods to see Phil. Support local, sip local! 🛍️
At Payroll Vault, we feel the same way about payroll: you deserve a local partner who does it right, not a one-size-fits-all service.

🤔 Wednesday Wisdom
If you have someone on a 1099 right now — would they hold up if a regulator looked closely?
The test for who counts as an employee versus an independent contractor isn't fixed. It's been revised multiple times in recent years, and it's under review again. The line usually comes down to how much control you have over the work, not just what the contract says or what you call it.
Worth asking: are we doing that correctly?

With Election Day coming up on Tuesday, November 3, I wanted to share a quick reminder about voting leave rules so you are prepared.

FAQ of the Month: "How are year-end bonuses taxed?"

Bonuses are considered supplemental wages, which means they're taxable just like regular pay. For federal income tax, bonuses are often withheld at a flat rate (currently 22% for most bonuses), plus Social Security, Medicare, and any applicable state taxes.

That's why employees are sometimes surprised when their bonus check is smaller than expected.

A little planning goes a long way:
✔️ Decide on bonus amounts and timing early
✔️ Choose whether to pay bonuses separately or with regular payroll
✔️ Let employees know what to expect

Planning year-end bonuses? Our team is happy to help you get it right. Book a payroll checkup today to start the conversation!

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and payroll is a favorite target for scammers.

Watch for these red flags:
🚩 An email asking to change an employee's direct deposit information
🚩 Urgent requests for W-2s or employee tax information
🚩 Messages from a "coworker" or "executive" that don't sound quite right
🚩 Links or attachments you weren't expecting

The simplest protection? Verify any payroll change request by phone or in person before acting on it.

Have questions about protecting your payroll process? Our local team is here to help. Book a payroll checkup today!
