Management
Work authorization, often referred to as employment authorization, refers to an individual’s legal eligibility to work in the United States. This eligibility may come from U.S. citizenship, lawful permanent residency, or specific authorization granted to certain non‑U.S. citizens (such as an Employment Authorization Document or a visa category that permits work). Not all workers need a separate government‑issued work authorization document — many are work‑authorized by virtue of their status.
Taxes
Form 8832 is an IRS form that allows businesses to choose how they want to be classified for federal tax purposes. Instead of accepting the IRS's default tax treatment, eligible businesses can elect to be taxed as a corporation, partnership, or disregarded entity.
This guide covers what the form is, who should file it, how to complete it, and what changes to expect afterward.
Human Resources
A notice period is the defined span of time between a resignation or termination and an employee's last day of work. This guide covers how notice periods work, what the law requires, and how to manage them effectively.
What Is a Notice Period?
A notice period is the formal gap between when someone announces their intention to leave (or is notified of termination) and when their employment officially ends. Common lengths include two weeks, 30 days, 60 days, and 90 days, depending on the role, seniority, applicable law, and what’s been agreed to in writing.
Payroll
Payroll is the process of compensating employees for their work, covering everything from calculating wages and withholding taxes to distributing pay and filing payroll tax returns. A well-run payroll system helps to pay employees accurately and on time, support the business’ efforts to comply with federal and state wage and hour obligations, and give owners a clear accounting of one of their largest operating costs.
Retirement
Your 401(k) is meant for retirement, but sometimes early access is needed. Knowing withdrawal rules, tax impacts, and penalty-free exceptions helps you make informed decisions and protect your financial future.
What Is a 401(k) Withdrawal?
A 401(k) withdrawal permanently removes money from your employer-sponsored retirement account, unlike a loan that you repay. Withdrawals reduce your savings and future growth potential.
