## Topics Colorado Employers
Ask Us About All the Time
Here’s what other Colorado business owners and managers are looking for help with—and how we can support you:
#### Minimum Wage Compliance
Colorado updates its minimum wage every January. Are you aligned across all your pay structures, especially if you employ tipped or seasonal workers?
#### Paid Family & Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI)
It’s here and it’s real. We help you understand your responsibilities as an employer and stay in compliance with contributions and reporting. [Learn about FAMLI](https://famli.colorado.gov/)
#### Employee Classification
Misclassifying employees as contractors (or vice versa) is a costly mistake. We help clarify the line—and keep you on the right side of it.
#### Timekeeping and Scheduling
Whether you’ve got 3 employees or 300, proper time tracking isn’t optional. We offer tech-backed scheduling and time solutions that align with Colorado’s wage laws.
#### HR Policies Built for Colorado
From paid sick leave to final paycheck rules, your employee handbook needs to reflect local laws. We help you stay compliant—and make sure your policies actually make sense.

- What if the company bank account has changed?
 
- [Download the Company Bank Account Change Form](https://www.thepayrolldepartment.com/hubfs/Payroll_Department_2025/Files/Doc/COMPANY%20BANK%20ACCOUNT%20CHANGE%20FORM.doc?hsLang=en). Fill it out and attach a voided check from the new account. Please email it to [info@payrolldept.biz](mailto:info@payrolldept.biz) or fax to our office (970) 259-5331.

- How can I calculate what a check will be after taxes?
 
- Follow this link to the [Net Pay Calculator](https://www.paycheckcity.com/calculator/salary/).
- How do I change an employee's salary or hourly pay rate?
 
- It depends on how you are submitting your payroll. In most instances you can [download an Employee Information Sheet](https://www.thepayrolldepartment.com/hubfs/Payroll_Department_2025/Files/PDFs/EmployeeChangeForm.pdf?hsLang=en) and fax it to us at (970) 259-5331.
- I accidentally left someone off the timesheet. What do I do to get the employee a paycheck?
 
- You have two options. We can calculate the check for you and you can write the employee a manual check (their year-to-date information will be correct on their next pay stub); or, we can cut a check at our office at an additional charge.
- Do we have to pay overtime, and how do we determine who is eligible?
 
- New laws and regulations go in to effect continuously. To get the most current information visit [HR Support](https://www.thepayrolldepartment.com/human-resources/?hsLang=en), a great resource for the latest on this and other topics.
- We are considering terminating an employee. Are we required to provide his/her last paycheck on the last day of work?
 
- Usually if the employee resigns or quits, then the employee may be paid on the next scheduled payday. However, if as an employer you cause the termination, then the employee should be paid as soon as feasibly possible. State laws vary, so visit [HR Support](https://www.thepayrolldepartment.com/human-resources/?hsLang=en) to find out more.

- Call our office for the necessary paperwork. Payroll will need to be submitted three business days prior to the check date to ensure timely deposits.
- I received a writ of garnishment for one of my employees. What do I do?
 
- Fax or email the paperwork to our office. The deduction will need to be set up by us prior to your next scheduled payroll. You will need to complete the questionnaire and remit if requested by the agency.
- My employee says a garnishment has been completed. How do I stop funds from being removed from his/her check?
 
- You cannot. An official court order is mailed to the company to authorize termination of the garnishment. This is usually mailed to the employee soon after the court order has been made. Once you receive the official court order, please inform us and we will terminate the garnishment.
