According to the Census Bureau, the number of people who work from home full-time has more than trippled. Before 2019, about 5.7 percent of workers worked primarily from home. From 2019 to 2021, that number increased to 17.9 percent. According to Forbes, in 2023, about 12 percent of employees will work full-time from home, and another 28 percent work a hybrid model. This means roughly 40 percent of employees work from home all or some of the time.

Then, you want to ensure you instill the best practices for cybersecurity in your remote workforce.
Payroll is another area where you need to be mindful of your security. After all, the same things you need to complete your payroll are the same items a fraudster needs to commit identity theft. Along with identity theft, you need to consider several other types of payroll fraud, including:
To ensure that your employees are being paid correctly and working the hours they say they are working, you can implement robust time-keeping software that has safety and security in mind, like the time and attendance software at Exact Payroll.
