For new business owners or anyone entering the corporate world for the first time, corporate income tax can seem like a minefield. Let’s look at it in a little more detail: Human resources departments within most companies are responsible for much more than simply processing payroll or handling the open enrolment season every year. Whether a business is large or small, human resources can play a large and often essential role in developing company strategy and handling all aspects of the employee-centred activities of an organisation. While the process itself may seem easy – you’ve just hired your first employee and you need to pay them – if you’re new to business and payroll, you may find that it’s not clear exactly what you should be doing and how to go about it.

While it might sound like an unnecessary act as bosses have already done their part by offering their workers a retirement package, it can be of benefit to everyone to help them prepare for such things as saving to ensure that their daily living requirements can be met adequately; and making preparations for the rising cost of medical expenses. If you’re the owner of a large business with more than a hundred employees, you may be tempted to skip the background check procedures in favour of saving money, but could this decision end up costing you more money than you saved?
