The CYA Guide to Payroll and HRThe CYA Guide to Payroll and HR

By Christina Hageny

Schiffy - The Life and Times of Somebody You Probably Don't Know, But Should is the story of David "Schiffy" Schiff, an internationally recognized as the go-to Orals Coach for some of the world's largest companies and has helped them win billions of dollars by securing highly lucrative government and defense contracts.



Schiffy has successfully leveraged his four Emmy Awards for directing to help people tell their stories in a profound and differentiating way. Along the way he has won hundreds of international awards for excellence in his video production work,

music, and event management. Schiffy knows he is only as good as the people he surrounds himself with. Whether working with a senior defense official, a CEO, a high-level Subject Matter Expert, or an actor, Schiffy makes them better at what they do.

The CYA Guide to Payroll and HR is a 10,000 foot view of payroll and HR compliance,
designed to cover the basics and provide direct links to additional resources.

You started your business because you loved your craft. You are passionate about what
you do, and confident customers want what you're offering. Yet the dream of owning
your own business can quickly become a nightmare if you don't take responsibilities
of an employer seriously.

A common fallacy with new-age payroll technology is that payroll is somehow easier
if we have access to a system with simple menus and big buttons. However, end users
of popular products like QuickBooks and Gusto have become quickly and painfully
aware that payroll compliance requires knowledge and skills novice payroll
processors do not possess - penalties and interest stack up just as fast as notices
from federal and state agencies.

The CYA Guide to Payroll and HR gives business owners a quick overview of the basics and
can help eliminate or prevent the vast majority of mistakes they might otherwise make.
