Welcome . . . May 13, 2009

For 11 years now, BNA has been exploring the outer limits of payroll reporting with our daily coverage of the American Payroll Association's Annual Congress, and as the preferred, reliable resource of payroll professionals. Again in 2008, BNA's reporters and editors will be navigating through the significant events to give you a variety of general session and workshop coverage on this site--all free to you!

This year, BNA continues to shoot for the stars as we unveil the new Payroll Decision Support Network. Payroll professionals already participating in the Network have access to BNA's past, present, and future payroll-related Webinars, custom-research answers on request, benchmark reports and surveys, as well as universal access to Payroll Library --all to provide you answers to your payroll questions you need, when you need them.

While some 2,000 payroll professionals are expected to attend this year's Congress, this open site allows those not attending to get a sense of what's happening in the general sessions, in selected workshops, as well as in the exhibit hall. While nothing will take the place of your full attendance at the APA Congress, BNA's coverage here is the next best thing to being there. So, enjoy!

For those who are attending Congress, visit us at BNA's Booth 1031 in the exhibit hall! See for yourself how the Payroll Decision Support Network can work for you, get talking pedometers, the always popular Payroll Reference Rulers, and enter to win a digital-ready 32-inch flat screen HDTV! See also the daily reports on this site--maybe you'll be part of the coverage!
