In the landscaping business, staying ahead of payroll compliance is as crucial as the very lawns and gardens you nurture. Don’t let payroll mishaps undermine your hard work. 

It's wise to manage your payroll carefully from the start rather than facing unexpected legal issues later on.

Are You Paying Your Workers With Daily Rates?

It’s common in landscaping to pay workers daily rates, but this method requires careful compliance with labor laws to avoid penalties. 

At Baron Payroll, we specialize in ensuring your daily rates meet the minimum wage requirements, keeping you clear of employee lawsuits and DOL fines.
