Payroll firms must let businesses keep money in own bank
Regulation of payroll service providers.
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, payroll companies would have to let employers hold payroll funds in the employer’s own insured bank account and post a bond for payroll taxes.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
The bill protects small businesses from losing payroll money if a provider fails, and makes providers back their tax handling with a bond, so workers get paid on time.
