Managing payroll in the United States presents unique challenges for businesses, especially those expanding from international markets or scaling rapidly. The complex web of federal, state, and local tax regulations requires precision and expertise to navigate effectively. At Brooks-Keret, we provide comprehensive US payroll solutions designed to minimize administrative burden while ensuring full compliance.
The Complexity of US Payroll Management
The US payroll landscape is notably different from many other countries, with requirements that can catch unprepared businesses off-guard. According to the American Payroll Association, businesses spend an average of 5 hours per pay period processing payroll internally, with error rates reaching up to 8% when handled without specialized expertise.
These complexities include:
- Multiple withholding requirements across federal, state, and local levels
- Varied pay frequency regulations by state
- Specific reporting deadlines throughout the tax year
- Different classification rules for employees vs. contractors
- Specialized handling for benefits, retirement plans, and garnishments
For companies managing teams across borders, these challenges compound with international payroll considerations, creating potential compliance risks that can result in costly penalties.
