- Paying employees in any business is a difficult task.

And it could be extremely stressful if you don’t know what you’re doing. Mostly because there are 3 sides of paying your employees...
1) determining how much to pay your employees
2) designing your comp plan to actually motivate them to work hard for you and retain them
3) compliance - which is making sure you’re paying your employees correctly to avoid big hefty penalties from the government
In today’s episode, I’m going to help you understand how to do this in your business, so you don’t make the same mistakes we've made.

I’m a compensation professional. This video popped up as a result of my search for small business compensation. I’m starting a company to assist small businesses with their compensation not to be confused with payroll or taxes. This is a great video and it helps me understand what my future potential clients may be looking for. the one thing that I do want to point out. Paying hourly or salary is not a decision made by any company or business owner. It’s regulated by the FLSA if you are a business owner, please protect yourself by reading the FLSA to determine whether an employee is hourly or salaried. Failure to do so will leave you open to some huge risk and potential lawsuits.
This video was so helpful for some mistakes I've already made. Now I know how to fix them and move forward productively! Awesome content. Thank you for sharing and for your level of transparency. I'm sure this will help many!
Glad it was helpful! Would you mind sharing the mistakes to help someone else avoid?
What a great video. So insight and full of actionable steps. Thanks for the continued value.

@@LYFEAccounting the compliance part knowing what and how to pay your potential employees so much I had not considered and dealing with the government some sleepless nights and I don't even have employees yet...much appreciated I'm in New York state.
I think the same thing.
Heyyy can you do a video about piece rate pay?? Thinking about doing this with a hybrid of salary/hourly pay to add a system of rewards/profits to keep morale & motivation high
Thank you. What IRS Credits do independent contractors get?
Great learning

Can U do a hourly pay with bonuses as well for completing jobs ahead of schedule?
Thank you sir
Hi Sherman, what forms would I need to give someone who is sub-leasing? We're opening a beauty salon and renting out rooms to other people for a flat monthly rate. Do I need to do anything other than have them sign a lease? Thanks!
Great presentation! Could you send me a link regarding profit sharing? Thanks! Shan
Dope video
perfectly explained
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
Hello Lyfe Accounting, I love your content!! Can you give me an idea how to handle paying a Virtual Assistant from another Country (Phillipines)?
Wonderful
Are there any videos where you guys talk about investing in Capital ?
New sub... God be with u..
Hey Sherman, thanks for this. I have one question, I am in the process of forming a Manager managed LLC, the individual is comfortable with profit share as remuneration. What are my typical tax liabilities for this manager if the buness turn over no revenue for a period of time?
If there is no net income or salaries being paid, then there should be no tax liabilities. In fact, we usually see a beneficial tax loss
@@LYFEAccounting Thanks very much:)
I would like for you to be my CPA when I start my business in April 2022. How much do you charge?
Profit sharing? I’m interested
I like your video, my I have permission to show this to my class?
If I have someone give out flyers and/or do some things that deal with social media pr on Instagram etc. Should I try to make them a independent contractor or part-time employee? Any opinion.
@CG PROJECTSFX Depending on how much effort, skill and level of activity they provide your social media pages, probably should lean more towards part-time or full-time. I personally do social media content for a family member as well as myself. While there's plenty of simpler ways to do certain things; there can be several but related skills involved in producing social media content. Photography, Videography, Animation, Photo-editing, video-editing, audio recording, audio mixing....All these are mid to high level skills that most people go to school to learn.
Then the actual sharing, getting the content out can be a whole separate skill in and of itself. If I'm you I would be knowledgeable at least about the content schedule, how often the person would get posts out and maybe the type of content; But to answer your own question about contractor or employee, discuss the content posting frequency at least. If they're posting for you once or few times a week then maybe not as much. But if you're going to be provided everyday good frequent content then the person is worth more.
My mind is blown! I might have to pay an outside company to do this!
Look into payroll software like Quickbooks Payroll to make it easier!
Theirs no need to pay an outside company for a service you can do your myself once you have had received the proper knowledge of and thanks to these amazing informative videos you will do just that
executives and managers 'irreplaceable' LOLOL.
I have only one employee ,, not to sure what to do with that one
I have a question to ask & cannot get a straight answered on the internet. I live in Ontario Canada. How much can a employer right off of an emplyees salary? So let's say $500.00 a week how much can my employer right off from that amount?
Is it okay to switch fro 1099 to w2 system mid year?
Yes!
What’s are good websites to search market rate
Glassdoor
I am looking into hiring my first employee. The role I am looking to put them in my business is sales. Would it be possible to have them set on a commission/profit sharing payment for an LLC? They would get a commission on each sale they do and then earn a % of profits either monthly or yearly. Would they fill out a 1099 or a w2? I appreciate any feed back!
Possible, yes. Whether they should complete a 1099 vs W2, watch this video: th-cam.com/video/2jPt6sCXGZA/w-d-xo.html
I only have one employee and I wanted to start with ADP or Quickbooks. Which would be better or should he remain a contractor. I’m trying to automate as much as I can.
Hey Julian, both are great.. we use QuickBooks payroll.
@@LYFEAccounting Where in Atlanta is your company located?
How you making out?
How do your pay your contractor?
If my employer paid me through cash app but didn’t do it as pay can they still put that cash on my 1099?
So do I have to pay them with my own money even though I don’t think it will be enough, what I want to do is a small business but also want to make my own video game company like a small business?
You’d have to pay them with the money your business earns or your own money. If you can’t afford that, then you may want to consider hiring Independent contractors for a fixed fee to do specific projects you need help with. - Sherman
I want to know how are these delivery jobs 1099 ?
Can you elaborate a little more, so we can accurately answer your question?
I need your cpa service, how do I get to you?
I have a company and I have foreign employees and I pay them per month $3000 in total, just wanted to know if there was a way for me to use it in Tax deduction? please help
Is There Anyway I Can Apply For Your Job Sir?
Thank you Dave Chappelle
😂😂😂
Lol bro he looks about 5 percent like Dave Chappell
You mean Shuler
What is the 1099 vs w2 video
th-cam.com/video/cSQ8WQMu9x8/w-d-xo.html
This is reazon why nobody wants open any business bcz everthing is taxes penalties, insurance etc end day mean a small business owner work for free
Please be reminded that all your viewers aren't from the USA. So it's hard sometimes to transpose
Thank you for that :)
Jesus Christ you're alive savior
Wow that means alot to hear, thanks
Way too dam long
can you use QuickBooks payroll for independent contractors for direct deposit?
