Payroll Accountant’s Checklist for September

What should you be doing in your payroll practice this month? Here's your Payroll checklist for September.

Payroll accountant’s checklist for September:

  • Replenish payroll-related office supplies.
  • Assess current payroll software for inefficiencies and outdated features
  • Start initial strategic planning for the year ahead
  • Help your clients run payroll adjustments for any year-to-date corrections
  • Work with your clients to get necessary data from other departments to track any taxable payments to employees that were not made through the payroll department; tax and post any required adjustments.
  • Send client reminders about upcoming holidays and suggest they advise employees of any changes to deadlines for submitting time sheets during the holidays.
  • Review executives’ nonqualified deferred compensation plans to ensure the correct amounts are withheld from distributions.
  • Suggest that clients remind employees to review amounts in health flexible spending accounts to avoid forfeiting any amounts left in the account at the end of the plan year.
