This document outlines the roles, rights, and responsibilities for three tiers in an organization's working model. Tier 1 involves regular employment with rights like market salary, job security, and benefits. Tier 2 are consultants who are self-managed and have rights to commissions but must pay for replacements. Tier 3 involves sales, account management, and decision-making authority over a profit/loss center with responsibilities for staff. The tiers aim to encourage entrepreneurship while being fair to all and not negatively impacting others.

Mandatory Employee Leave: An In-Depth Analysis of State and Local LawsComplyRight, Inc.
Did you know that numerous states and cities have passed laws granting leave for workers to address certain health and family-related issues? And that many local governments mandate paid time off for being sick? Requiring employers to provide time off for employees is a growing trend, and it shows no signs of slowing down.
Mainly due to inaction at the federal level, many states and local governments have stepped up to grant employees time off in specific circumstances. These laws vary greatly from how much leave is allowed, how the time off is accrued, when employees can begin to use leave, and if the time can be carried over from year to year.

Mandatory Employee Leave: An In-Depth Analysis of State and Local LawsComplyRight, Inc.
Did you know that numerous states and cities have passed laws granting leave for workers to address certain health and family-related issues? And that many local governments mandate paid time off for being sick? Requiring employers to provide time off for employees is a growing trend, and it shows no signs of slowing down.
Mainly due to inaction at the federal level, many states and local governments have stepped up to grant employees time off in specific circumstances. These laws vary greatly from how much leave is allowed, how the time off is accrued, when employees can begin to use leave, and if the time can be carried over from year to year.
Contractor or Employee? Exempt or Non-Exempt? Understanding the Distinctions ...ComplyRight, Inc.
A handful of high-profile cases -- and increased attention by the IRS and Department of Labor – has put worker classification in the spotlight. Now, more than ever, employers must be crystal clear on the differences between an employee and independent contractor, as well as exempt vs. non-exempt status.
In either case, misclassifying workers is a risk your business can’t afford to take. Federal and state agents are monitoring the situation more closely and cracking down with bigger fines and penalties. At the same time, wage and hour lawsuits are on the rise, with many “salaried” employees recognizing they are non-exempt in the eyes of the law -- and therefore owed overtime.
Protect yourself from costly misclassification mistakes and potential legal issues. Attend this timely webinar to learn:
- Factors that define the worker relationship, according to the IRS and Department of Labor
- Warning signs that your contractor is actually an employee under the law
- What determines exempt vs. non-exempt status (Hint: Job title has nothing to do with it.)
- Steps to take if a worker is misclassified
Independent Contractor or Employee? Understanding the Risk of Misclassificati...ComplyRight, Inc.
Many businesses choose to work with independent contractors, which is perfectly acceptable. But only if you follow the legal parameters. The IRS has strict worker classification rules regarding who is a contractor and who is an employee. Get it wrong and you could face severe penalties, including back taxes, steep fines and, in some cases, even prison.
Chapter 6 – Controlling Accounts ReceivablesQuestion 1. Are cr.docxchristinemaritza
Chapter 6 – Controlling Accounts Receivables
Question 1. Are credit checks performed before terms are granted to customers? Describe the process.
Conducting credit checks is highly recommended prior to setting terms granted to customers. In this way, the business owner would be able to prevent bad debts that would affect the company’s financial status.
To do so, the business must run a credit check on customers. Some private institutions provide credit services wherein they run background checks on individuals. The business may opt to charge customers with a credit check fee and then have them fill in forms where the customers consent to having a credit check run. After the results of the credit check, the business may then decide whether to transact with a customer. If they agree to a transaction, the business sets the terms depending on the customer’s credit background, particularly his or her ability to pay for rendered products or services.
Question 2. What type of sale agreements do you have in place, which are signed before the sales takes place?
Prior to signing the contract, agreements during sales include policies on return and exchange, the purchase price, the description of the product or goods being sold, warranties, description of how the goods will be delivered, and other notes agreed upon by the buyer and the seller.
Question 3. What is your Accounts Receivables turnover?
The Accounts Receivables turnover must be high for the business to ensure that it does not incur bad debts.
Question 4. What is the procedure to receive payments from customers including the receiving of the mail, opening the mail, recording the transactions, and making deposits into the bank?
To receive payments from customers including the receiving of the mail, opening the mail, recording transactions, and making deposits into the bank, the business owner should have initially recorded the terms of the receivable during the time of sale. After receiving and opening the mail, the transactions must be recorded using invoices. After keeping track of the flow of cash through invoicing, the receivables may be forwarded to the auditors and accountant. The business owner would then make a decision on how it would be deposited in the company’s bank.
Question 5. Describe the procedure the company follows when receiving payments from customers. What documents are verified to insure payments match the invoice sent to customers?
When receiving payments from customers, the business verifies the term of receivables agreed upon between the business owner and the customer. To insure payments match the invoice sent to customers, records such as the aging schedule and the general journal may be used to check the invoice using the records.
Question 6. Is there an aging process for all Accounts Receivables accounts to better control receipts from customers and to collect from overdue accounts?
Establishing and maintaining in aging process for all Acc ...
