Why should you attend?

Paper and payroll just seem to go together sometimes.  Paper timecards or timesheets, paper forms such as the Forms W-4 and W-2, paper checks and paystubs, paper reports and returns. It seems like it is a never ending stream of paper with no way of stopping it.  Or is there? In reality you can stop or at least slow down your use of paper in the payroll department. By going green you not only reduce your department’s and thereby your company’s carbon footprint, but better yet, save money. By getting rid of the paper you can increase your department’s efficiency and decrease overall long term costs. Some of these efforts will involve upfront costs for systems or for your time to create and implement changes while others can be done immediately by taking advantage of improving technology offered by others.  Even introducing just a few of them will reduce the paper in your department.
