The trouble with much payroll work is that it makes no difference what the size of your company, there are the same number of repetitive tasks to do. Each year end, the Employer Annual Return must be done, a P60 must be completed for each employee, all expenses and benefits annual returns must be organised and you have to ensure that the correct PAYE tax and National Insurance contributions have paid. When all this work is done, you will be just in time to start again with getting the payroll records organised for all your employees for the beginning of the new tax year.

Small and medium sized businesses often progress in similar ways during the early years of development and expansion.

In a relatively new business, the manager charged with payroll services may be unused to this work, and has to start from the absolute beginning. Factors such as BACS that are familiar to many people as a set of letters on their salary slip or bank statement become part of their daily work. [Read more…] about Developing expertise in business

Roller skates used in fundraising event
Roller skates, rollerblades and other such wheeled devices serve a range of purposes. They can be used for sports, as modes of transport and in dance routines, among other things.
In addition, they can be utilised when it comes to community events, one group has shown.
Recently, a number of youngsters got together on their roller skates as part of an activity organised by the Jephson Homes Housing Association for residents of Dunster Place and Yarrow Walk, Holbrook, 24dash reports.
Held at Coventry Sports and Leisure Centre, the occasion was intended to bring together new residents and those who had lived at the scheme before it was demolished and rebuilt two years ago.
It was supposed to develop community relations and was opportunity to celebrate the redevelopment of the scheme, as well as for enthusiasts of wheeled sports to put their skills to the test.
As well as a roller rink for youngsters, on which kids could test out their rollerblades and skates, there were a number of other activities. For example, there were displays and stalls from a number of agencies, including the police and fire service.
Meanwhile, Jephson, which manages over 16,000 homes throughout the country, also consulted residents about what improvements they would like to see at the scheme. In addition, there was an opportunity for the company and the tenants to identify any problems and create an action plan to tackle them.
Housing services officer at the organisation Paula Clarke remarked: “Those who attended thoroughly enjoyed the event and provided some really good ideas in order to develop a closer community spirit.”
Jephson has operations in a number of regions around the country. For example, it has schemes in northern England, the Midlands, eastern England and the south and west. The firm specialises in providing homes to rent and shared ownership schemes, among other things.
