If your business operates in New York and supports remote or hybrid work, payroll tax risk may be closer than you think. Many companies believe remote work simplifies state tax obligations, but New York takes a different view.
Under New York’s “convenience of the employer” rule, employees may still owe New York income tax and employers may still need to withhold and report those taxes, even when employees work from another state. Companies often discover this exposure only after an employee receives a notice or a regulator asks questions.
In this 30-minute webinar, we’ll break it down into digestible pieces:
-
What the convenience of the employer rule actually is — and why New York enforces it
-
How it affects your employees' paychecks and your payroll obligations
-
What's changed recently and what to watch out for
-
Whether similar rules in New Jersey, Connecticut, or Pennsylvania apply to you
-
Simple steps you can take now to reduce risk
Who should attend and why: This webinar is for anyone at your company who manages people, handles payroll, oversees HR, or makes decisions about where employees work. This includes CEOs, CFOs, HR leaders, and payroll managers. You don't need a tax background to follow along.
