## Documentation

### Payroll Compliance Auditor

Run a full payroll audit in under 10 minutes. Catches the errors that cost companies $845 per violation.

### What It Does

Classifies workers (W-2 vs 1099) using the IRS 20-factor test
Audits overtime calculations against FLSA rules
Checks tax withholding accuracy (federal, state, local)
Flags misclassification risk with dollar-amount exposure estimates
Generates quarterly compliance checklists
Produces audit-ready reports for DOL or state agency reviews

### How to Use

Tell your agent:

Full payroll audit:
"Run a payroll compliance audit for [company]. We have [X] employees across [states]. Pay frequency is [weekly/biweekly/monthly]."

Worker classification check:
"Check if these roles should be W-2 or 1099: [list roles with descriptions]."

Overtime audit:
"Audit overtime compliance. Our employees work [schedule]. We're in [state]. Current OT policy: [describe]."

Tax withholding review:
"Review tax withholding setup for employees in [states]. We use [payroll provider]."

### 1. Worker Classification (IRS 20-Factor Test)

Score each worker across three categories:

Behavioral Control (6 factors): Instructions, training, integration, personal services, hiring assistants, work hours
Financial Control (5 factors): Business expenses, investment, profit/loss opportunity, market availability, method of payment
Relationship Type (4 factors): Written contracts, benefits, permanency, key services

Risk levels:

0-4 factors toward employee → Low risk (likely contractor)
5-9 factors → Medium risk (review needed)
10+ factors → High risk (likely misclassified)

Penalty exposure per misclassified worker:

Back employment taxes: 15.3% of wages
FLSA overtime liability: up to 3 years back pay
Benefits liability: retirement, health, PTO
IRS penalties: $50-$260 per W-2 failure
State penalties vary: $5K-$25K per violation (CA, NY, MA highest)

### 2. Overtime Compliance (FLSA + State)

Check against federal AND state rules (state wins when more generous):

RuleFederal (FLSA)CaliforniaNew YorkWashingtonOT threshold40 hrs/week8 hrs/day OR 40/week40 hrs/week40 hrs/weekOT rate1.5x1.5x (2x after 12 hrs/day)1.5x1.5xSalary exemption$58,656/yr (2026)$66,560/yr$62,400/yr (NYC)$67,724.80/yr7th day ruleNone1.5x first 8 hrs, 2x afterNoneNone

Common violations:

Averaging hours across two weeks (illegal under FLSA)
Not paying OT on bonuses/commissions
Misclassifying non-exempt as exempt
Rounding errors exceeding 7-minute threshold
Auto-deducting meal breaks not actually taken

### 3. Tax Withholding Accuracy

Verify against current tables:

Federal:

2026 FICA: 6.2% SS (wage base $174,900) + 1.45% Medicare
Additional Medicare: 0.9% above $200K single / $250K married
FUTA: 6.0% first $7,000 (5.4% credit = 0.6% effective)

State cross-checks:

SUI rates (experience-rated — verify annual notice)
SDI/PFL (CA, NJ, NY, WA, MA, CT, OR, CO, MD)
Local taxes (NYC, Philadelphia, San Francisco, etc.)
Reciprocity agreements (employees in different state than work)

### 4. Quarterly Compliance Checklist

Monthly:

Reconcile payroll register to GL
 Verify new hire reporting (within 20 days)
 Check garnishment calculations
 Review PTO accrual accuracy

Quarterly:

File Form 941 (federal) by last day of following month
 File state unemployment reports
 Reconcile YTD withholdings to pay stubs
 Review contractor payments approaching $600 threshold
 Audit benefit deductions against enrollment

Annual:

W-2 distribution by January 31
 1099-NEC filing by January 31
 ACA reporting (1095-C) by March 2
 Update salary exemption thresholds
 Review state minimum wage changes
 Workers' comp audit preparation
