2 |bookshelf.payroll.org PayrollOrg BOOKSHELF Frequently Asked Questions OFFLINE FUNCTIONALITY Q. Is there offline functionality for the PayrollOrg Bookshelf? A. The PayrollOrg Bookshelf is an internet-based product, so you must be connected to the internet and logged in with your PayrollOrg ID or username and password for access. The core publications of Payroll Source Plus® are updated and require an online connection with your PayrollOrg username and password. These include The Payroll Source®, PayrollOrg’s Guide to State Payroll Laws, Federal Payroll Tax Laws &Regulations, and Federal Payroll Non-Tax Laws &Regulations. There are some static publications on the PayrollOrg Bookshelf (generally added annually and not updated throughout the year) that can be downloaded and accessed offline. Static downloadable publications with offline functionality include The Payroll Source® study guide version, Payroll Practice Fundamentals, Guide to Local Payroll Taxes, Guide to Federal and State Garnishment Laws, and Guide to Federal and State Wage &Hour Laws. Payroll Currently and PayState Update are electronic newsletters published monthly and biweekly, respectively. Caution: Because these publications are not updated during the year (once published), readers using these publications must check to ensure that the content has not been updated since the date of publication. UPDATES Q. How often are updates made to the publications on the PayrollOrg Bookshelf? A. Many of the publications are updated throughout the year, generally on a quarterly basis, or as needed based on major changes to laws, regulations, and guidance. This includes The Payroll Source®, Guide to State Payroll Laws, Federal Payroll Tax Laws &Regulations, and Federal Payroll Non-Tax Laws &Regulations. These books are also printed, with new editions published each year in March. Static publications are generally replaced on the PayrollOrg Bookshelf with the current edition once per year. They are not updated until the next annual edition is available. These publications may be downloaded or viewed online in the e-reader. If you would like to keep multiple editions, download the PDF of these publications by clicking the arrow icon. These publications include The Payroll Source® study guide version, Payroll Practice Fundamentals, Guide to Local Payroll Taxes, Guide to Federal and State Garnishment Laws, and Guide to Federal and State Wage &Hour Laws. Q. What is the best way to use the publications on the PayrollOrg Bookshelf to stay updated on payroll compliance news and developments? A. It is recommended that you read Payroll Currently every month and refer to the updated The Payroll Source® (available in The Payroll Source® Online, Payroll Source Plus®, and Federal and State Payroll Compliance Resource) for your payroll- related research needs and questions. If you are a multi-state employer, subscribe to PayState Update for the latest state and local payroll news published biweekly. You can download and keep The Payroll Source® study guide version but remember it will become outdated as it is not updated throughout the year. ONLINE EDITIONS Q. The publication I purchased is not updated throughout the year. How long will I have access to it? A. If you purchased Payroll Practice Fundamentals, Guide to Local Payroll Taxes, Guide to Federal and State Garnishment Laws, or Guide to Federal and State Wage &Hour Laws, you have access to a static electronic version on the PayrollOrg Bookshelf and a downloadable PDF file. Your access to both ends when the next edition is published. So, for example, if you purchased the 2023 edition of Guide to Local Payroll Taxes, you can view it and download it until the 2024 edition is published. Once the 2024 edition is published, the 2023 edition is removed from the PayrollOrg Bookshelf.
