Frequently Asked Questions

Georgia businesses are required to withhold state income taxes from their employees’ earnings. To comply, businesses must register with the Georgia Department of Revenue and withhold taxes based on employees’ G-4 forms. Employers are also responsible for paying state unemployment taxes to the Georgia Department of Labor. The unemployment tax rates vary depending on the employer’s experience and the solvency of the state’s unemployment trust fund.

Georgia’s minimum wage is set at $5.15 per hour, but most employees are covered by the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. Employers must comply with the higher wage rate and update their payroll systems to ensure that all employees are paid at least the applicable minimum wage. This includes adjustments for tipped employees to ensure their wages plus tips meet the federal minimum wage requirement.

Yes, our payroll system is equipped to handle the fluctuating hours and contractual agreements typical of seasonal workers in Georgia’s prominent agricultural and poultry industries. The system offers flexible scheduling, variable pay rates, and straightforward activation or deactivation of employee profiles to accommodate seasonal employment fluctuations, guaranteeing precise payroll management for these workers.

For new employee setup in Georgia, employers must collect a completed Form G-4 for state tax withholding and ensure completion of Form I-9 for employment eligibility verification. These forms, along with personal and banking information, must be entered into the payroll system to facilitate accurate tax withholding and ensure compliance with employment laws.

Our payroll service is designed to comply with Georgia’s sick leave policies, which, as of now, do not mandate private employers to provide paid sick leave, but encourage them to do so. For businesses that offer paid sick leave, our system can track accruals based on the employer’s policy, automatically update sick leave balances, and allow for usage tracking, helping employers to monitor compliance with their established policies and any applicable local ordinances.

In the event of a payroll dispute or audit, our service provides comprehensive support to Georgia businesses, including detailed payroll records, historical data access, and expert guidance.
