SESSIONS & AGENDA

Every year we see large sums paid to outside processing companies to print checks and produce tax reports.  Additionally, the manual work done to manipulate the data provided in order to post those transactions to MIP is time consuming and subject to balancing and other errors.  Learn how to use MIP Payroll to save time, money and more accurately record employee costs.

Now that you know the basics, we’ll dig deeper into the payroll module and how to make corrections, process off cycle checks, prepare tax filings and year-end reports and forms.
