Payroll may seem routine, but small decisions can trigger significant tax costs and compliance risk. In this Lunch & Learn CLE, Krystal Russell of Spectrum Payroll and Spectrum Accounting will break down six common payroll traps that impact law firms and the business clients they advise. Using real-world examples—including how a $100 employee gift card can actually cost an employer nearly $165—attendees will learn what creates taxable wages, audit red flags, and unexpected employer expense.

This session will help attorneys and firm staff identify payroll issues before they become IRS notices, penalties, or costly corrections. Participants will leave with practical tools and insights they can apply within their own firms and when advising clients with payroll obligations.
