Christmas Bonus season is here!

Did you know bonuses are taxable income?

If you're wanting to pay a cash bonus you either need to "gross up" and pay the taxes on the bonus, or treat it as an Advanced Wage from your employees next check.

Contact Payroll Cents if you have questions or want to know all your options when paying bonuses to your employees
