Happy 2013! Happy New Year!!!

I have resolved to keep my posts more up-to-date, although this probably isn't the best time of year to try to find more time for anything.

Just a couple of quick notes for now on items of import.

• Reminder to be sure your State unemployment rate (or reemployment rate as they prefer now) is up-to-date in QuickBooks payroll before processing your first payroll for 2013.  If you forget, please just give me a call...
• I have already had to process a payroll dated in 2013 -- prior to anything being decided in Washington -- so of course the paychecks were smaller due to the higher taxes.  Hopefully they will come to some sort of decision soon, and all will be sorted out.  So, if you have to run a payroll before then be forewarned your employees likely will not be pleased...
• I have posted on my website - (Tools and Links page) - a 2013 Florida Minimum Wage Poster suitable for printing and posting.  There are those out there that would like to convince you need to buy an entire new set of posters, but not so -- this is from the State's website and will do just fine (save your money).

 Ok, that is all I can think of at the moment... has been a long weekend getting prepared for the January rush.  I plan to process quarterly payroll reporting and W2's as I process payrolls for the month, so they will all be out on time.  If you have any questions at all, please feel free to call me at any time.  Don't worry, if it is a bad time I won't answer, but will get back to you as soon as I can.

It seems the first post to a new blog should contain some great words of wisdom, some great secret of life, some great revelation...  Sorry I am all out of any of those, but here is a heartfelt "Welcome" instead.  Guess you will have to stay tuned just in case any of the great stuff turns up later...
