If you have employees earning minimum wage, you must send us a change form with the new pay rate for each employee before your first payroll of 2022. The software does not update this information automatically—your Payroll Specialist needs to manually enter the new rate for each employee. If you use Employer On the Go, you can update the rate yourself. The change form is also write-enabled on our website and can be submitted electronically (as long as you disable your browser’s pop-up blocker for our site).
