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. Data security, privacy, and employee confidentiality are also keywords for assuring optimal ethical treatment of all. Regular monitoring of possible breaches can help ensure privacy. Keeping up with the latest threats, scams and fraud alerts also adds to the process of ensuring the best, most reliable and fairest product a payroll team can produce; accurate, timely and fair paychecks for all regardless of level.
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.
