Sales Representative Member Question

Member Question - Does anyone monitor, manage or “deal” with outside sales representatives or traveling sales people? We currently have a few reps in the field; some of which live here in the Cedar Valley and some in other states. One in particular is of concern due to possible misconduct and/or misrepresentation of their time and activities, along with possible misuse of company funds. If you have any prior experience in this field or know of a good way to track their activities, aside from a P.I.

IRS Tax Audit

Member Question - Our office just got a notice from the IRS stating that we were randomly selected for an employment tax audit for our 2010 payroll (941 filing).  I was wondering if others in our group have gone through one of these audits and if they have any advice.  Please email Stacy Paul at spaul@cfneia.org

Electronic paystubs

Member Question - I'm looking for input from other companies that switched over to electronic paystubs from paper. How did it work for you? Do you have confidentiality problems with people printing them and leaving them on the printers?  Any suggestions for us?  Thanks for your input! Nancy Demro <Nancy.Demro@vgm.com>

Member Question

My company is looking for some suggestions and ideas on how other companies handle exempt employees with time off, including sick time. Specifically, do those employees have PTO available?
