Will You Add? - Are Your Cleaning Company Workers Employees or Subcontractors?
If you have ever simply watched people at work you will find that many often come in late or miss work entirely for days on end. We may be able to draw a connection in our reasoning that says all these people showing up 10 minutes late can add up to lots of lost revenue for the company. The problem is how to control attendance issues and still treat everyone fairly?A CCH study on unexcused absenteeism indicates that 83% of employers feel that unexcused absenteeism will continue to rise. The problem is that absenteeism costs have been growing which now range around $800 per employee per year. It doesn’t seem like much but when this cost is multip

Photo postage stamps aren't such a new idea; its been around for years! The USPS (United States Postal Service) briefly suspended the use of such a stamp due to security concerns. There are certainly a number of reasons that the USPS would want to abolish all photo stamps, for example in the height of the anthrax scares a stamp with a scull and cross bones plus the word Anthrax caused a sorting office to shut down for several hours. Although custom photo stamps are legitimate, perhaps getting rid of them would put people off trying to get away with counterfeit postage stamps!The USPS decided that it would allow another phase of a pilot program a
Putting employees on the payroll means that you are responsible for withholding income taxes, social security taxes, Medicare, and unemployment taxes. A business can get around all of this by hiring "independent contractors" instead of putting employees on the payroll. The independent contractor is then responsible to pay his or her own taxes and insurance. But the IRS has strict guidelines that determine if they are truly an independent contractor or if they are actually an employee.
Who is an independent contractor? If you, as the employer, only have the right to decide the result of the work being done, and not how that result is achieved, then the individual is most likely an independent contractor. However, if you as the employer control not only the end result, but also how that result is achieved and when the work is to be performed, then the individual is your employee and not an independent contractor.
Following are factors you should consider when determining if you should classify an individual as an employee or an independent contractor.
1. Does the worker need to follow your methods for getting the job done? An independent contractor can generally decide for himself (or herself) how to complete an assigned task.
2. Do you provide training for the worker? If you have to train an individual for a job, then that person will probably be considered an employee.
3. Is the employee's services an integral part of the business? This will probably bump a worker into employee status.
4. Do you require the individual perform all the services personally? Independent contractors may have their own employees or their own subcontractors that perform part of the work.
5. Do you set the worker's schedule and hours? An independent contractor will set his or her own hours. A contractor may have to work between a certain time frame because of agreements with vendors, but specific hours are generally not set.

The UK’s Records Management Society defines records management as, “the process by which a company manages all the elements of records whether externally or internally generated and in any format or media type, from their inception/receipt, all the way through to their disposal”. In this digital age many organisations have set up comprehensive systems to ensure that electronic records are safely stored and backed up, with a plan in place should an unexpected crisis occur. This makes a great deal of sense since some estimates suggest that over 90% of businesses that have had a major data processing disaster will go out of business within 5 years.<

For every person who needs to organize a conference there is a time where they must decide where to hold their conference. The choice of city is dependant on a variety of different factors including where there is sufficient accommodation for all attendees as well as the ease with which the majority of attendees can reach the destination. Within England there are many different areas that offer conference venues, but one of the most developed is Birmingham. The level of development that the city enjoys means that a large number of facilities are on offer to people who choose to attend conferences in the area. The state of the city’s infrastructure mean

One of the biggest challenges companies are facing is the attraction and retention of top performers. The World Future Society predicted that the greatest test of durability for companies in the next five years would be the ability to get and keep good people. In some industries such as the homebuilding industry there is a phenomenon of merry-go-round employees where employees jump ship within the industry and companies are recycling employees. In the finance industry the big question to a top performer is "Where did you jump from?"One executive management client had left a specific financial institution because a competitor wooed her. Once ther

6. Do you provide the supplies and equipment used on the job? An independent contractor is responsible for the providing their own supplies and equipment used on the job.
7. Do you pay expenses, mileage, etc.? An independent contractor is usually liable for their own expenses, even though they might bill you and seek reimbursement for items needed during their working relationship with you.
8. Does the worker have other clients? If an individual is working with multiple clients, that is a sign that they are an independent contractor.
9. Do you have the right to fire the individual at any time? Or does the individual have the right to quit at any time? Independent contractors are usually bound by a contract and can only be let go if there is a failure to meet the contract's requirements.
10. Does the worker have his or her own office? Having their own office space is a good sign the individual is an independent contractor and not an employee. The office can be a home office, but they should have a phone line dedicated to their business.
If you believe that your worker has satisfied the independent contractor status, strengthen your stance by doing the following:
1. Put your agreement with the contractor in writing. Make sure that you include a description of the project, the time duration, the amount to be paid and a clause that recognizes that the individual is an independent contractor.
2. Get a completed W-9 form from the individual and then be prepared to complete a 1099 at the end of the year.
3. Pay only when the independent contractor submits invoices to you.
4. If the particular project changes in any way, goes over budget, takes longer than expected, etc., address these issues in writing.
5. Have the independent contractor provide you with documented proof of insurance.
6. If at all possible, do not pay the independent contractor on an hourly basis. Instead, break down the amo
