FUTA is an employer-only tax. Your employees never see it on their paystub. But missing a deposit or losing the state credit can create a year-end bill that surprises even experienced payroll teams.

If a contract says "independent contractor" but the working relationship looks like employment, the IRS will read the relationship, not the contract.

Federal tax law uses a three-part test to classify workers: behavioral control, financial control, and type of relationship. No single factor is automatically controlling, and the label the parties use is not one of them.

Getting this wrong costs more than just back taxes. It means owing the employer's AND the employee's share of F**A, a portion of income tax withholding, failure-to-deposit penalties, and interest. For multiple workers across multiple years, that adds up fast.

There is also a 1099-NEC threshold update most payroll teams may have missed: for payments made after December 31, 2025, the reporting threshold is $2,000, not $600.

We just published a full breakdown of how the IRS classifies workers, what each factor actually means, and what options exist if reclassification is needed; check it out! https://journeypayrollhr.com/resources/blog/

Paying someone a salary doesn't automatically mean they're exempt from overtime. Under federal law, it takes two things: the right salary AND the right job duties.

The current salary floor under the FLSA is $684 per week, but clearing that number is just step one. The employee's actual duties still have to satisfy one of five specific exemption tests: executive, administrative, professional, computer, or outside sales.

Job titles don't count. A worker called "manager" who doesn't actually manage isn't exempt. A blue-collar worker earning six figures still earns overtime.

Misclassifying a non-exempt employee as exempt doesn't eliminate the overtime obligation. It creates one, plus back pay, liquidated damages, and legal exposure.

We just published a plain-language breakdown of exactly how this works under federal law: what each exemption requires, where employers most often get it wrong, and what to do about it. Read more on our blog page! https://journeypayrollhr.com/resources/blog/

Your payroll records are not just paperwork. They are your defense.

Under the FLSA, recordkeeping is the employer's responsibility. No records means an employee can estimate their hours, and now you are arguing against a number you cannot rebut.

Daily hours. Weekly hours. Rate of pay. Deductions. Total wages. Keep them accurate, keep payroll records for three years, and time cards for two.

Because in a wage dispute, the employer with records wins. The one without them pays.

A wage garnishment order does not mean you can let the employee go. Under federal law, firing someone over a single garnished debt is a violation.

When a valid garnishment order arrives, the employer withholds part of the employee's pay, stays inside the federal limits, and sends the money to the right place. For an ordinary debt, the cap is the lesser of 25% of disposable earnings or the amount above $217.50 a week. Child support and alimony can go higher. And the withholding is based on disposable earnings, meaning pay after legally required deductions, not gross wages.

Two points employers should look out for:

1. State law can cap garnishment lower than federal law, and when it does, the lower limit applies. And the protection against firing covers one debt, not a second separate one.

2. Garnishments are one of those quiet moments where good payroll protects both the business and the employee; everyone wins.

Quick payroll truth: outsourcing your payroll does not outsource your legal risk.

The IRS is direct about this. Even when a business forwards funds to a payroll provider, the employer stays responsible for depositing and paying federal payroll taxes. If a provider misses a deposit, the bill goes to the business.

That means a few habits are worth building no matter who runs your payroll: keeping your own login to the federal deposit system so you can check payments yourself, holding onto employment tax records for at least four years, and knowing who inside your company would carry personal liability if taxes ever went unpaid.

Great payroll support does not erase that responsibility. It helps you carry it, with confirmed deposits, organized records, and answers you can actually trust.

We broke down exactly what federal law expects from payroll support, and what a good partner should be doing about it, on the blog today. Check it out! https://journeypayrollhr.com/resources/blog/
