Navigating US payroll and tax laws is complex. Each state can create its own rules, which results in a range of definitions, exemptions, and rates for income tax, unemployment tax, workers’ compensation, and more.
Businesses operating in multiple states face even more challenges, with potential overlaps, conflicts, and local tax variations. To bring some clarity to US payroll and tax regulations, we’ve created a state-by-state guide that introduces you to the basics of each state’s laws. Explore the guide here.
