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
