Government Relations

One of the core missions of PayrollOrg (PAYO) is providing representation for payroll professionals before federal, state, and local governments. This is done primarily by educating government and community decision-makers about the payroll industry and the best practices associated with paying America’s workers.

Significant emphasis is placed on minimizing the administrative burden on government, employers, and individual workers, as well as sharing information effectively.

Key Goals

• Ensuring consistent and equitable standards and requirements for withholding income taxes on employees who travel outside of their state of residence for temporary work periods
• Promoting understandable government forms and associated instructions, regulations, guidance documents, policies, and notices
• Pushing for uniformity in wage garnishment processes and reasonable requirements for payroll card administration
• Providing opportunities for open discussion and networking among PayrollOrg members and with agency staff
