Queensbury Outsources Payroll Processing

The town of Queensbury, located in New York, recently announced that it plans to outsource its payroll processing to GTM Payroll Services Incorporated, located in Clifton Park. Surprisingly, the switch to outsourced payroll processing will save the town of Queensbury quite a bit of money—around $32,000 per year!

In spite of the fact that the town will be spending less money on managing its payroll, the town is actually getting a lot of good things out of the deal. One is a greatly updated way of handling the payroll! The town was still using old-fashioned paper time sheets to collect payroll data but will now be using an electronic system.

The savings that Queensbury experienced as a result of outsourcing can be experienced by organizations all throughout the United States. Most businesses spend a lot of unnecessary time and money handling their payrolls on their own; if your organization is guilty as charged, know that there is a better way. Susan S. Lewis Ltd. of Naperville can handle your payroll for you and maybe even save you a little (or a lot!) of money in the process.

Want to Work in Finance?

Do you want to work in finance? If so, getting paid well and dealing with payroll processing might not be your biggest worries! In fact, finding a job in the first place might just be the biggest obstacle you face. A recent report reveals that finding a job in the financial sector is harder than ever before. However, it also lists the top cities for finding a job in the industry. These cities include Dallas, Texas; Houston, Texas; San Francisco, California; Irvine, California; New York City, New York; Long Island, New York; Atlanta, Georgia; Seattle, Washington; Richmond, Virginia; Phoenix, Arizona; and Chicago, Illinois.

Sure, your city might not be on the list, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t find a great job!

Finances and the Elderly

If you own a business, you probably spend time worrying about things like corporate taxes and payroll processing. The truth is, however, that if you have an elderly family member, you may have much bigger concerns on your mind than payroll processing or anything related to work. The National Endowment for Financial Education recently released tell-tale warning signs that an elderly loved one is no longer adept or as adept at handling his or her personal finances. These warning signs are becoming more common as people are living longer and, unfortunately, can sometimes appear earlier than expected.

Signs that the organization cautions family members, friends, and caregivers of the elderly to watch out for include difficulty understanding or paying bills, decreased mathematical capabilities, impulsive buys, irresponsible spending of savings, and more.

No matter what other concerns you may have in your day to day life, you’ll want to take some time out to see how your elderly loved one is doing financially. If you find there are problems, you may want to step in and help or to hire a professional service in Naperville that can manage your elderly loved one’s finances.
