 Employment Tax Seminars - Web-Based

The EDD's Employment Tax Offices offer free state payroll tax seminars, either classroom-style or Web-based. Both the classroom and Web-based seminars are designed to help employers comply with the State of California payroll tax laws. The classroom seminars are offered in a variety of locations throughout California. They are customized to benefit everyone - established businesses, those just getting started, individuals anticipating going into business, and payroll agents - and the instructors encourage audience participation. The Web-based seminars, on the other hand, allow you to learn on your timetable, at your own pace, wherever you choose to access the Internet.

This course explains statutory and common law employment as it is applied by EDD and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). This self-paced course provides an opportunity for employers to learn the basics of common law employment.
