          Implementation Steps

          Understand all payroll requirements and plan transition timing.

          Key Tips:
          • Review all federal, state, and local tax requirements
          • Document current payroll process and frequency
          • Identify all deductions (benefits, garnishments, etc.)
          • Plan go-live date (start of quarter preferred)
          • Notify employees of upcoming changes
          • Get buy-in from finance/accounting team

          Common Mistakes to Avoid

          • ×Not running parallel processing - too risky to go straight to live
          • ×Choosing end-of-year for go-live - tax reporting nightmare
          • ×Missing obscure deductions or garnishments
          • ×Not verifying bank account numbers - payments go to wrong accounts
          • ×Insufficient testing of tax calculations - penalties are severe
          • ×Not having a rollback plan - leaves you stranded if issues occur

          Best Practices

          • Always start at beginning of quarter for clean tax reporting
          • Run at least 2 parallel payrolls before going live
          • Over-communicate with employees about changes
          • Keep old payroll system active for 1 quarter after cutover
          • Create detailed audit reports comparing old vs new
          • Have your accountant review configuration before go-live
          • Build in buffer time - process payroll 2 days early at first
          • Document everything for compliance and audit purposes
