Payroll Record Keeping

All have different requirements as to content and storage requirements. Electronic records are ok in some cases, paper required in others. In some instances, you have to keep the records forever. Records come from various departments, offices, sources, etc. They vary as to content, form and source. How do you store them? How do you guarantee authenticity? How do you keep them confidential? How do you make sure they are available when you need them? Most importantly, what information should they contain? This webinar will provide answers to the above questions and more
