As online scams increase this time of year, a little caution goes a long way. Keep your data safe with these holiday security reminders.

1. Be alert for holiday-themed phishing emails.Scammers often send fake “bonus,” “payroll update,” or “holiday schedule” emails. Always verify the sender and hover over any links to see where they go before clicking or downloading attachments.

2. Use secure networks when accessing payroll systems.Avoid logging into any payroll or HR platform on public Wi-Fi during holiday travel. Use a secure, private connection or a VPN.

3. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA).With higher fraud attempts during the season, MFA adds an essential layer of protection for payroll and employee data.

4. Monitor for unusual payroll activity.Holiday staffing changes and time-off schedules can create openings for fraud. Regularly review access permissions and audit logs.

Always notify us directly if you notice anything suspicious.
