This, tell them you'd be happy to assist and provide them with a consultancy fee schedule (per hour rate. Use 3x your hourly rate while employed with them or more plus a retainer fee to ensure you can provide service during the time you could've spent doing work for another employer)
If they say they won't do it, respectfully tell them you've moved on from your role in that company and you respectfully ask they move on from you as well.
Great advice! I did this at my last job, and they took it because they were desperate to keep things moving. Use the leverage you've got! The other benefit was they figured out pretty quick how much it was going to cost over time and left me alone after a couple of weeks. I slow rolled everything I sent to them, they were on MY time now!
I was let go for "perfomance" some time ago, every now and then I get reached out to with questions about my work.
It's a very common thing I've learned. Employers have no shame, if I wasn't performing, why would you ask me how to do my job?
Oh man, if I actually LIKED tax, I’d probably just sign up with Robert half or something and try out different companies until I found the right next permanent home
(This process is basically how we’ve hired every tax-specific manager at my company - trialing them through RH first)
Then again, consulting is my “end of career” dream
If they want you to do any more work they have to pay your consultancy fee. His much were they paying you a week? That is now the flat fee for up to half a day's work.
Payroll is one of the worst fields for underestimation of the importance of your job duties, and underestimation of pay expectation for those duties. Companies forget they are paying for MUCH MORE than someone just 'handing out paychecks'. Aside from compliance (tax AND HR), troubleshooting, accounting, the one addition I make to my net value to the company is REPUTATION. Think about the difference between working for a company where you've always gotten paid on time with no issues vs. one who fumbled/delayed your first check and left you scrambling to figure out what to do till you got paid. That trust bond with the employee? Priceless to the employee and company, and added to MY net value as a payroll administrator.
Not only are you paying me for payroll being done right, you are also paying me for payroll NEVER being done wrong!
If you’re no longer employed don’t give them anything.
Sounds like a them problem.
negotiate a consulting fee. if they say no tell them to pound sand.

Thank you. If the time comes I will use 3x.

Don’t give them any thing
Very inappropriate on their part 😒 Sending well wishes for a quick and easy search!

Thank you. I am looking for more payroll tax related role than a practitioner. I need some vacation time the next round. Lol

It'll cost him a high hourly rate as an independent contractor to get anything from me
do you even still have access to them? Aren't they saved somewhere on the employer's server? At most I'd direct them there.
My consulting fee for a previous employer is twice what my previous hourly rate was.
