Payroll Professionals: I’m trying to figure out how to appropriately tax my traveling employees. Any suggestions on a solution to accomplish this? For example, I have employees based in Texas but may travel to New York for two weeks or to Oklahoma for a month. I don’t always get a heads up when folks travel but I have to believe there’s a solution for this. My payroll company (Paychex) doesn’t do it. What do you guys do for travelling employees?

I have a LOT of credit card debt. It has just grown over time and I can’t find my way out. I’m considering debt consolidation, specifically a company called National Debt Relief which seems legit but I’m just so hesitant because I’m scared to make my situation worse. Or a personal loan to pay off all the CC debt and then have a smaller all in one payment. I’m intelligent and I work in finance, it’s so embarrassing. HELP.

Does anyone use a brokerage account instead of a checking account? Mine offers a fee free debit/atm card and free checks which I'd rarely use but starting to question whether it is worth maintaining my "big bank" checking account that requires a $1500 minimum balance.

I also have a local credit union checking/savings that I'd use if I need any services or to deposit cash and a HYSA that gets my paycheck, is used for mortgage and credit card payments, and to transfer to checking or investments.

For first class lounges (emirates in dubai), how early can you go in? I think i will skip hotel and just stay in the lounge, do a day tour, come back to lounge and sleep overnight. Flight is the day after so id be in the lounge for 28 hours. Anyone know if i can stay in the lounge for this long ?

Is it still a good time to change the job? I have two doubts in mind:

2. In current organisation annual pay cycle is from april to march where we can consider 8% hike plus 8% annual bonus is due in march. So getting a 40% hike and leaving current job is worth it?

Is it a red flag for a dr to ask for a specific medication? I’m seeing a new psychiatrist tomorrow and have a diagnosis already but want to try a different medication.

I recently stepped away from my position overseeing HR operations at a midsize company (>300 staff). After numerous executive level changes and the departure of our HR VP I was promoted to a role I didn’t particularly want. After managing through it for a year and a half I decided to step down. I’m beginning to look for new opportunities and curious for any tips on getting interviews with larger size companies… Any insider insight? Directly applying has such a small chance of being noticed..

Hi all - I'm looking for help defining our rating scale in terms of our company values. We rate on a 5-point scale of Unsatisfactory to Exceptional Performance.

Any recommendations for a job description builder?

Im a contractor. Another firm has reached out for 100% remote work for basically a lateral move. I really like where I’m at right now. I’m remote but if I turn to FTE which is very possible later this year I would probably end up having to go in 1 or 2 days a week to NYC. My manager knows this is basically a dealbreaker for me. Should I let my manager know I have another firm reaching out but I really want to stay but I’d need to be a remote FTE? They mentioned several times I’m an asset.

Hello everyone!

I'm looking for ideas on how to better the new hire's onboarding experience on the 1st and 2nd day. For eg: walk them through company mission statements, etc. Also What forms of communication do you use if you do have the orientation? Do you create PowerPoint presentations? Looking for ideas. Thanks so much!! On another note, how is your company getting the new hire to submit their paperwork like tax forms and banking information etc. Do you use a system like Workday/Dayforce?

I am looking to gain certification or other credentialing in diversity and inclusion, not only because it would look good on my resume both for future job-search purposes and also to become better educated in this area, which is growing in importance.

We do not have an official handbook and I’ve been working with Paychex HR team to put one together. It’s a bit frustrating because I feel my rep doesn’t know too much about mixed environments.
