July 2, 2025—CoAdvantage’s own Kristin Baldwin shared her insights on payroll compliance in a recent article by People Managing People.

In the section “11 Ways to Avoid Payroll Compliance Mistakes,” step 3 advises readers to:

Regularly Audit Classifications and Pay Practices:

Misclassifications are among the most penalized errors and can create lasting tax and wage liability. To catch these, revisit contractor vs. employee classifications and exempt vs. non-exempt statuses to ensure they align with the latest IRS and DOL criteria.

Pro Tip:

Employers should conduct periodic nexus risk assessments, especially after hiring out-of-state employees.
