AB 889 is live, and payroll teams working on California public works are already having to apply it. The annualization rule has created a lot of second-guessing around fringe deposits, paycheck treatment, and what documentation actually holds up when projects get reviewed.

If you’re unsure whether your current process is right, you’re not alone — but guessing through January can create real problems later.

This insider session focuses on **what payroll teams need to do each pay period under AB 889**. We’ll walk through how fringe deposits work now, how annualization is calculated, and where teams commonly get tripped up.
