A few things on the July 29 compliance rundown agenda that are worth showing up for: 1. South Carolina didn't just change its tax rate — it created an entirely new state-specific deduction and decoupled from the federal standard deduction. Your SC employees' withholding picture looks different than last year. 2. New Jersey's Family Leave Act eligibility threshold dropped from 12 months of employment to 3. Effective July 17th. 3. The IRS is phasing out First Time Abate this summer. The replacement is automatic — no request required — but you need to know how it works before you assume you're covered. This is three items out of five full sections. Laura Detsch is walking through all of it on the 29th. Save your spot: https://hubs.la/Q04p_tTz0

Here's just a partial list: -Georgia retroactively cut its income tax rate mid-year. -South Carolina overhauled its entire withholding structure and decoupled from the federal standard deduction. -New Jersey's Family Leave Act reduced the minimum employee threshold and the employee eligibility requirement. -Three states launched new employer portals. -The IRS is replacing First Time Abate with an automatic penalty exemption that kicks in without you doing anything. On July 29, Laura Detsch — our Tax Specification Compliance Manager — is covering everything that mattered in the first half of the year and what's still coming before year-end.

Registration for tomorrow's webinar closes soon. Five payroll patterns that create real operational risk. What to do about each one. Live Q&A with Katherine Diersing. July 14 · 1 PM ET / 10 AM PT Save your seat: https://hubs.la/Q04mZrbL0

Your payroll operation has cracks. Most do. The question is whether you find them on your terms — or after everything's been run. Reserve your seat for July 14. We're covering five patterns that quietly put payroll at risk and exactly what disciplined teams do differently. 45 minutes + live Q&A. RSVP here: https://hubs.la/Q04mZgp00

Most payroll problems don't announce themselves. They build quietly — in the gaps between systems, the workarounds your team stopped questioning, the processes that work fine until they don't. Join us July 14 to find the cracks before they find you. Rachel (Kim) Moberg and Katherine Diersing are walking through five operational patterns that turn payroll reactive — and what structurally disciplined teams do instead.

Termination pay doesn't always wait for your next scheduled pay run. Processing a final paycheck in Greenshades Payroll depends on two things: when the termination falls relative to your scheduled pay run, and whether pay is being issued through Greenshades or was already handled outside it. The scenarios in our recent Product Pulse cover each case. One thing worth knowing: additional pay runs in Greenshades Payroll don't cost extra. If you need an off-cycle run to meet a state deadline, run it. → https://hubs.la/Q04mGM380

Final paycheck laws depend on the state where work was performed, whether the employee resigned or was terminated, and whether you have a multi-state workforce. Miss the deadline, and penalties follow. Every state sets its own. We broke down the rules for all 50 states — deadlines, what's required in the check, PTO payout obligations, and where things get complicated for field-based and distributed teams. Worth bookmarking before the next mid-cycle separation lands on your desk. → https://hubs.la/Q04mF_T70

Workforce tech isn't separate from your retention problem. Your payroll system, the self-service portal, every onboarding workflow: all of it shapes whether someone decides to stay. The organizations that treat workforce tech as a retention lever — not just infrastructure — have a structural advantage that shows up in the numbers. 🔗 https://hubs.la/Q04kBVgL0

Global employee engagement fell to 20% in 2025. That's the lowest Gallup has recorded in two consecutive years. And it comes with a price tag: more than $10 trillion in lost productivity annually, worldwide. The organizations absorbing the most of that cost aren't the ones with the worst culture. They're the ones that haven't connected the workforce operations budget to the retention outcome. That connection matters — and it hits hardest in industries like staffing, healthcare, and construction. 🔗https://hubs.la/Q04kBmJM0

Nearly three in four voluntary employee exits fall into categories employers can address. Not reducible. Not "we did our best." Preventable. Most organizations treat turnover as an unavoidable cost of doing business. The data says otherwise. It's a category of controllable loss that most finance teams aren't managing like one. The math on what that actually costs — and what it would take to change it — is here: 🔗 https://hubs.la/Q04kK4yM0
