What you'll accomplish

By the end of this guide, you'll use ChatGPT Plus to quickly research and summarize payroll compliance updates — IRS notices, state minimum wage changes, new leave laws — so you spend 5-10 minutes on what used to take an hour of reading agency websites and dense legal text.

What you'll need

  • A ChatGPT Plus account (chat.openai.com — $20/month) or use the free version (slightly less capable)
  • Recent IRS notices, state department of labor bulletins, or PayrollOrg compliance alerts you need to understand
  • Time needed: 20-30 minutes to learn the technique; 5-10 minutes per compliance question thereafter
  • Cost: Free (with limitations) / $20/month for Plus
