Your patients count on good alignment. Your team counts on accurate payroll. But too many clinics run payroll “close enough,” risking errors, morale dips, and even compliance headaches.

 

Payroll Pitfalls in Chiropractic Offices

  • Manual tracking of staff hours opens the door to missed OT or pay mistakes.
  • Confusing roles—is that assistant splitting duties? Are you covering overtime properly?
  • Unclaimed expenses—who’s reimbursing supplies or CE costs?

 

The Real Risks

  • Staff dissatisfaction or turnover (nobody likes missing lunch, let alone a paycheck).
  • IRS penalties for payroll tax missteps.
  • More headaches for you, less team focus on patients.

 

How to Get Payroll Right

1. Use Payroll Software
 No more “guestimate” paychecks. Let software help you track and pay accurately.

2. Understand Overtime
 Rules change by state and role—consult a payroll expert to get it right.

3. Regular Reviews
 Audit your payroll monthly. Small mistakes become big problems over time.

4. Outsource for Peace of Mind
 Partner with a firm that knows chiropractic payroll—we handle the details, you focus on care.
