I ran across this article from CNBC on how many hours Americans spend on email each day. It’s an interesting read. The article says that we spend 209 minutes a day checking work email and 143 on personal messages for a total of 352 minutes. That translates to roughly 5 hours and 52 minutes each day (almost 6 hours a day). I have a couple of takeaways from this.

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

Payroll is not only time-consuming and complicated, but it’s also the main reason why small businesses get fined for payroll-related errors by the IRS. Obviously, the last thing a business owner wants to see is a letter or notification from the IRS. But given that there are tons of forms to complete, checks to sign, hours to track, and taxes to pay, it goes without saying that errors are bound to happen – and those errors will come at a cost and may even set your business back.
