I am running a service based firm(i.e. IT).should I add service tax in my billing for all clients.?

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

We provide Web/Software Development Services as well as Hardware/Networking Service to our clients. Should I issue a bill with 12.36% Service Tax?

Is it depends upon total taxable income for service tax limits?

Outsourcing Contract Examples

outsourcing contract examples

Surely you Outsource

Almost every organization is outsourcing something even though they may not realize it. Most are at least outsourcing their payroll administration and have the paychecks of their employees prepared by some payroll bureau.

Why? Because they cannot do it any better or cheaper than the payroll bureau, at least not if they intend to comply with all the payroll/tax regulations and filings that accompany the employment of personnel. The bureaucratic and administrative burden for a limited number of employees is too great and the expertise required too specialized to be able to perform this task efficiently in-house.

In addition it is not productive for management to spend the time or add an additional resource to exclusively worry about generating paychecks, file taxes/withholdings etc for a limited number of employees when others can do it for you.

It is much more important that the company focus its resources on generating the sales and the income so that it can pay the employees every month as without the business there will be no paycheck.

So there are a number of important reasons why a company should outsource a function like payroll administration to an outside contractor for a fee.

• The contractor can do it more efficiently, better and cheaper than the employer.
• The employee will get more accurate and timely paychecks from the bureau and both the employer and the employee will have all of their monthly filing requirements taken care of by an expert in this field.
• The employees and company will be better able to focus on the main activity of the company which is to generate sales and profits, so that the employee can get paid their salary by the bureau.
• There is no need for the employer to invest in infrastructure or resources to provide the function.

Although it seems intuitively obvious why the bureau can do this function better and cheaper than most companies could do this in house, I believe it is worth enumerating them in detail as it is important in making the case for outsourcing.

First the bureau serves more than one company, probably hundreds, and does nothing else but administering payrolls and generating paychecks for those companies. This means the bureau has critical mass and is an expert at it. They are Subject Matter Expert (SME) as it is sometimes referred to and maintain payroll records for thousands of people and know what to file for what type of employee, where and when.
Invariably the bureau is certified and has person to person connections with tax authorities, insurance companies the social security people and so on, allowing them to resolve issues faster and better than an individual can do.
Very important with the advent of Sarbanes Oxley (SOX), they are most likely compliant and carry a certification to that effect this helps management of public companies with their audits and SEC filings.

All of the foregoing is important as it applies to most vendors of outsourcing services, will be a recurring theme in this document and their characteristics can be summarized as follows.

• They are SME’s or experts in their field/domain, so they can do it better and hit the ground running.
• They have critical mass, so they can do it cheaper
• They are SOX certified, so you do not have to worry about controls
• They allow their client to concentrate on what is important to its business and focus on its core competencies.
• They eliminate the need for their client to set up their own infrastructure or staffing to perform the process.

I started with the example of a payroll bureau because it is the earliest and most recognizable form of business process outsourcing (BPO) that most people have experienced on a daily basis.

The next logical step after payroll outsourcing involves another of the employee related services, employee administration or better known as Human Resources (HR).
HR outsourcing not only eliminates the burden of generating paychecks and compliance issues, but also adds another layer of service to your employees and your company.

Like the payroll services bureau, the HR service providers add value because they are experts, hit the ground running and have critical mass. One of the major benefits of using an HR outsourcer is that, in addition to performing HR administration functions, they tend to provide a wide selection of employee benefits at a cost that a small company will be hard pressed to match, if they are able to procure them at all.

Why? Because when the HR Company goes shopping for benefits they represent the cumulative total of the employees of all of their clients. So instead of shopping for benefits for say 200 employees they go shopping for 100,000 employees or more and the Insurance companies all of a sudden listen and provide competitive bids.

So now not only has the small Company been able to get their payroll done for their employees they can also offer them fortune 500 Company benefits, profit sharing and all!
All the while the small company is free to concentrate on what it does best, executing its business model.

Some of the larger outsource service providers also have a global reach. Great for multi-national companies struggling to integrate their in house and disparate legacy systems. Using one of these global outsourcers could instantly provide them with global integrated systems with uniform processes and policies, without significant investment.

I hope it is becoming clear that business process outsourcing (BPO) has been around for quite some time. BPO is not just for the larger corporations but has always provided benefits for small to medium sized companies also. It is just that no one ever thought about them in that way and did not call it outsourcing.

As illustrated above, although a function or process is critical to a Company’s functioning (employees should be well provided for and paid), it is certainly not a core competence of the Company and definitely not one where most of its time and effort should be spent. Especially not when there are many service providers around that can do this process better, quicker, more efficiently, cheaper and often provide benefits better than any small or even medium sized company could provide on their own.

There are many functions and processes necessary for a company to run its business. Some are not part of its core competence and potentially could be outsourced so that management can focus its attention on the processes that are critical to the success of the business.

We know a company needs people to function (HR process), it needs to buy materials, office stationery, equipment, travel, space and so on (Procurement process), it may need to manufacture stuff (Manufacturing process), it needs to Sell products (Sales process), it distributes what it sells (Logistics and distribution process), it needs to account for all its transactions (Accounting process), to do all this it most likely will need Information technology, (IT process). There are many more processes such as product design and development, research and in addition these can be subdivided, but you get the drift.

There are many vendors around that could take care of many of those processes. We discussed the HR function and know that there are vendors around to whom you can outsource that process.
We also know that there are plenty of contract manufacturers ever since the OEM era, in China, India, Indonesia and other developing geographies.
DHL/FedEx/UPS are all familiar names in the logistics and distribution processes and there are many other transportation companies that now do logistics for you.
And then there are all the call centers that have sprouted up all over the world, performing back-office processes such as customer service, sales support, help desk, airline reservations and so on.
Not to forget the IT service providers, like IBM/EDS/Perrot Systems and so on and do not forget the software code writers in India.

I am sure you have noticed from the list above that there are very few business processes left that a company has to perform in house that can not be outsourced. IT, HR, Customer Service and Manufacturing outsourcing are among the most well known.

Examples of companies that use outsourcing in order to focus their resources on what they are especially good at are many. Hi-tech product companies can focus on design, engineering and product development (Apple; I-pod, I-phone. Logitech; mouse, webcam). A restaurant chain can focus on developing better or healthier menu’s and better ways of preparing or delivering product (McDonalds, Coffee, all day Breakfast).

A lesser known but rapidly emerging process slated for outsourcing is Finance & Administration. One of the best examples of how outsourcing of Finance & Administrative processes liberates a profession/organization to focus on what it is supposed to do and what it is best at can be found in the medical profession.

Obviously the core competence of a medical professional is not billing, not filing claims, not any clerical or administrative process, but it is treating and healing patients. This is a classic example that illustrates that outsourcing of clerical and administrative functions allows an organization to do what they do best, without them having to worry about all the administrative chores and distractions.

There are more and more service providers with deep domain knowledge in the entire suite of administrative processes that allow the medical profession to outsource virtually all its admin functions to a service provider.

Taking this logic one step further, if this outsourcing of administrative and financial functions helps doctors to focus on their prime core competence what is there to stop this same logic to be applied to small companies and even large corporations?

And as you might have guessed, Finance & Administration on a grand scale is the newest discipline and process to be added to the outsourcing band wagon and for obvious reasons.

So should you or your company jump on the outsourcing bandwagon? Many companies complain that it is not what it was cracked up to be when they were early adopters. They do not get all the services they expected and every time they ask for another feature the service provider considers that an upgrade or increase in scope and increase the fee.

That is a subject for another edition, where I will discuss how to avoid the pitfalls and the way an outsourcing contract should be approached. The preparation involved, including
• Determining the strategy of what processes are key to the organization and which are candidates for outsourcing, precise descriptions of the functions to be outsourced
• Preparing an extensive Request For Quote (RFQ) so you get the best price.
• Writing up extensive Service Level Agreements (SLA) so you get the service you expect and avoid all these rate hikes and so on.
• Bou van Kuyk and www.visioneuropa.com are experts in this discipline and would gladly help you with determining the right strategy, do all your write-ups, RFQ’s and SLA’s to take the worry and the stress out of your outsourcing.

Telecommuting Pharmacists

Online Pharmacy Degree Programme

Did you know that pharmacists make a lot of money? That’s because it takes a certain amount of skill and expertise to handle all of those medications. Not to mention the fact that getting the medications and their proper dosages is very important. Getting it wrong could cause illness or even death. Therefore, pharmacists are trusted and well paid. You do need the proper schooling to become a pharmacist. The good news is that you can work towards a pharmacist degree while also taking care of your other responsibilities. That’s right. You don’t need to quit your current job or give up on your family responsibilities in order to go to school. You can get an online pharmacy degree where you work on your studies on your own time and at your own pace so that you can finally quit that dead end job once and for all.

When you’re working towards your online pharmacy degree, you can do it anywhere you have a computer and an internet connection and whenever you have free time. That’s great news for anyone who has a full time job and who lives paycheck to paycheck in order to make ends meet. They can work towards their online pharmacy degree while still tending to all of their responsibilities. This is opposed to those that think they have to put their lives on hold for three or four years while working towards a degree. With online pharmacy degrees, that’s not the case. It couldn’t get any easier than that.

It should be noted that just because you’re working at your own pace, and on your own time, doesn’t mean you can slack off on your studies. You must develop good study habits so that you can absorb all that’s required of you. An online pharmacy degree will help you get the job you’ve always wanted but you need to work hard for that degree in the meantime. That means listening to your online professors, doing the required reading, studying hard and taking all exams as asked of you. When you’re finished and you finally have that online pharmacy degree in your hand, then you can say that you finally accomplished something you’ve been meaning to accomplish for a long time. You’ve finally got that college education you never thought you’d have and you did it all online.

All you need to do is find a good online school that offers online pharmacy degrees and then work as hard as you can to reach your goals. Then, you can search for well paying pharmacy jobs knowing you have exactly what potential employers are looking for.

Defense contractor jobs…?

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Do defense contractors such as Lockheed Martin or Boeing offer telecommuting jobs that would be survivable on a full-time college student schedule? I’d like to accumulate money for school loan debt and simultaneously establish connections to where I would like to work after graduating, but I don’t think it’s likely that they’re offering work-at-home jobs. And even if they do, it’s probably not manageable having a job and being a full-time student at the most selective college in Colorado…

Looking for a job as someone’s telecommuting personal assistant.?

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

I want to be a personal assistant. Keep in mind that this personal assistant position would be telecommuting, meaning through contact by email, text message, or phone. And as a personal assistant, I would be assisting one person, not a whole company. Here’s how I see it: as a personal assistant, my duties would be the things that you don’t have the time to do. Whether it would be calling your cell phone service to update your contract, or even sending your niece a birthday card. I would do online shopping for you, calling any of your services (like lawn care services), or sending messages through the mail. How I see it is that every morning you would send me an email telling me of all the duties that I need to have completed by the end of the day or week. I would get them completed, then email you back. I am only 16, but I have a 4.0 GPA and I’m very organized. I would like to develop a trusting and close relationship with my employer. If you are interested, please email me. Thanks.

Skin Sticker

Skin Sticker
Am I allergic to stickers?? It left a mark on my skin?

I put a sticker on my skin yesterday to see if my tanning lotion was making a difference. Today when I took off the sticker I had a bright pink patch where the sticker was that feels a little raised to my skin. It doesn’t hurt, but I don’t know what it is. Could it be an allergy to the stickers? The mark has now been there for 24 hours!

Well, you put a sticker on your arm.. Put a bandaid around your finger for a day, then take it off and see what happens.. Also, you may have a small allergy to the adhesive on the sticker. Since it doesn’t hurt or itch, then it is not severe. Give it air, maybe put neosporin on it or something. You’ll be fine.

A legitimate telecommute job?

I’m looking for a legitimate job that is work from home. I currently have a job that allows me to work from home but circumstances came up which require me to find a second job. I have three kids so going to a job would defeat the purpose of the seccond job once you figure in daycare for all three kids. Does anybody know of a legitimate work from home job?

Freelance Photoshop Projects

What projects does a Web Designer always get?

As I will be Freelancing, I am fearful of doing websites of what the clients wants specially if they want a website that has an Admin panel to it coz I have not learn how to do that coz I dont know how to code in PHP. For me, my skills are only limited, I know Flash, CSS HTML(and maybe XML), Photoshop, Illustrator and Fireworks. But I am also good in Audio creation & Video Editing and has knowledge on 3D as well since I was a student in a Multimedia course. So anyways, I want to be a freelance Web Designer and need to know what Web Designers do most, like do they only make pages with really nice interactivity. OR Pages with lots of RIA stuff like those widgets. OR do Web Designers do all those stuff and Must Know how to create Admin Panel for Website and database?…

~I’m a bit confused~

Not all sites want an admin (or control) panel to change their site. Lots of them just want a presence and will consider upgrading to a site like you describe for various reasons.
If you don’t know how to code in PHP, ASP, .NET, etc., then if you find a client that can provide those services you may wish to barter with them in order to get the other work done and leave you to do the primary look and feel of the website.

Pro Core

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Pro Core
What do you think about the mac pro desktop 8 core or 4 core?

Do you think its overpriced? Do you think it would work well with both a linux operating system (any flavor) and a windows os (windows xp or windows vista). Do you think its worth it to buy it just for me to end up buying a windows vista or windows 7 os disc and use windows on the machine? No pc or mac haters please serious answers. : ) Is all that its cracked out to be?

DON’T spend that much for a 8 core processor. They can only really use 4 of them because there are basically no programs that can use all 8 cores
as of now

unless it a laptop don’t get a apple computer.
there laptops are amazing though :)

unless you are doing some major video editing, and I mean MAJOR
you wont ever need that many cores.

instead if you want to spend that much money. Make a computer that has the i7 extreme which is a 4 core CPU that can OC to amazing speeds with proper cooling. which will cost $1000
a great motherboard
SLI video cards and loads of RAM for the cost of the 8 core Mac pro
you will be very happy

and just wait until Windows 7 comes out in October and do a clean install
DON’T get VISTA it sucks honestly

trust me if you go for the Mac you will be spending loads more than you should and that goes for any computer that you buy pre built.

make one your self yourself it is easy and fun you will appreciate your comp much more that way :)

if you don’t know how watch some videos on you tube and look around on blogs people are talking about these kind of thing all the time

oh and upgrade prices on Macs are OUTRAGEOUS

I’m not a Windows fan boy, but I am someone that knows a lot about computers and you are going to get more bang for your buck going Windows and building your own computer.

I have a apple computer and I don’t really like OS X anymore than Linux or Win 7 RC

the best website to buy everything you need to make a computer is newegg.com

hope this helped you at all :)

Please tell me the most affordable solution for that in India.

Inspiron Latitude

Inspiron Latitude
What are the differences between Dell Inspiron, Latitude and Studio?

Hi, I’m buying a laptop soon. I’m pretty sold on a Dell but its very confusing choosing one. I do graphic design using photoshop, InDesign Quark Xpress, sometimes simultaneously. What’s the best option?
I cant figure out whats the difference, especially since you can customize the specs. Help!!

It is very difficult to determine what what is best for you and knowing what the differences are in these systems.
What I would do is take the survey here at Dell to help determine what your needs are: http://www.dell.com/us/en/business/smb-systems/sq.aspx?refid=smb-systems&s=bsd&cs=04
and what laptops will fill your needs.

Hope this helps.

Telecommuting International

Conference Call – Virtual Office collaboration using Conference Calling services

Thinking about allowing some of your employees work from home or from a virtual office? Telecommuting can be win-win for both the employer and the employee when used correctly. However, it does present its challenges. For example, when an employee spends the bulk of her time away from the office, communication can suffer and the employee can become isolated. In addition, offsite team members may be unaware of the minor changes that take place in the office. These problems can be avoided with forethought and the right communications tools.

One of the best tools is also the simplest: conference calling services. Whether you have a single employee working from home or an entire virtual team, regular conference calls are a must.  For the individual telecommuter, being included in weekly staff meetings ensures that she is aware of the day-to-day changes, updates, and issues affecting your business. It also allows the telecommuter to contribute ideas, raise concerns, and remain involved.

If you have an entire team of virtual workers, conference call becomes even more critical. After all, the entire team is working in isolation. Holding regular conference calls allows everyone to come together and provides each person with a better understanding of their role within the team.

Conference calls also help with personification. For example, receiving instructions via email from a distant stranger can be off-putting for some workers. On the other hand, if the team members regularly speak with each other via conference calls, they’ll relate better to one another. Knowing that “Mr. X” is easygoing with a funny sense of humor or that “Alice from accounting” has a friendly tone of voice helps team members see each other as real people and partners.

Plan on holding formal and informal conference calls with your virtual team? Formal calls are regularly scheduled calls conducted much like a traditional meeting. For example, you may want to hold a conference call with all team members once a week. In this case, you’d follow an agenda and adhere to a strict timeline just as you would a traditional, in-person staff meeting.

Informal calls are less rigid, occurring periodically as needed. These conference calls may involve just a few team members, not the entire team. For instance, if you have three team members working on a print advertising campaign and another three working on a video advertisement, you don’t need the entire team to participate in a conference call discussing the video’s shooting schedule.

Because most telecommuters work from home from various geographic locations, a toll free conference plan is the most convenient for all parties involved. Since individual callers don’t incur any fees for the call, there’s no need for expense reports and reimbursements. If you plan on frequent calls, an unlimited plan may be the best choice. On the other hand, if your conference calls will be less predictable, a pay-as-you-go plan gives you greater flexibility. For example, if your teleworkers only work out of the office in the summer months, a pay-as-you-go plan with no monthly minimums is ideal.  

Whether your company has one telecommuter or an entire virtual team, conference calling services keep workers connected, no matter where in the world they happen to be.
