In an effort to reduce costs, the Department of Revenue Services (DRS) may issue debit cards for income tax refunds not designated for direct deposit. The DRS has contracted with JPMorgan Chase (Chase) to administer the debit card program.

Instead those who would formerly have received a check for their Connecticut income tax refund will instead receive a Chase Debit Card which looks like this:

Some other interesting notes from the State of Connecticut FAQ regarding their new income tax debit card refund program:

QUESTION: Can I send my debit card back to DRS and request that a refund check be mailed to me or request that a credit be added to my account?

ANSWER: No. You will not be able to mail the debit card back to DRS to request a replacement refund check or a credit.

QUESTION: Is my debit card ready to use once I receive it?

ANSWER: No. Before you can use your card, you must first activate it by calling Chase Customer Service at 1-866-586-1705. Have the card in front of you when making the call. You will be prompted to enter your social security number and Zip code. Once your card is activated, you may choose option 4 from the main menu to create a PIN (Personal Identification Number) in order to withdraw cash at ATMs. Once you have activated your card don’t forget to sign it.

QUESTION: Where can I use my debit card?

ANSWER: You can use your debit card at:

• Banks and Credit Unions displaying the VISA logo
• ATMs
• Retail locations (both store front businesses and on-line businesses) that accept VISA
• Gas Stations to purchase fuel. (However, you will not be able to use the “pay at the pump” feature. You must go inside and pre-pay for all fuel purchases.)

QUESTION: Are there fees imposed when I use my debit card?

ANSWER: In some cases, yes. Please refer to the chart below (or the card carrier and the brochure that accompanied your Chase debit card).

The world of online search is growing more competitive by the day. If there were a way for your website’s results to stand out from the competition – you’d probably want to know about it – right?

How about if the way to make your site standout was completely free and took about 5 minutes to setup?

Here’s one way that many site owners are using to standout. They’ve seized upon Google’s new pilot program that links author information in Google Profile’s to web search results.

When Google users search the web for information Google now will associate the author of a post (provided they’ve set this up) with the search result. This means the author’s Google profile headshot and a link to add that profile to a Google Plus shared circle will both appear.

This is an easy way you can establish credibility with those who are searching as well as standout from competitors who’ve not taken the time to establish the link between their Google Profile and their web site.
If you want your author information to appear in search (Google News too) results for the content you’ve created then first create a Google Profile with a good recognizable headshot as your profile photo.

Sample:

Wayne Schulz Google Plus Profile (link)

Then verify authorship of your online content by associating it with your profile using one of two methods provided by Google (details):

1. Add your name and email to the post (Google’s recommended method – and easiest)
2. Link your web post to your Google profile (and your profile to your web post)

Once you’ve completed those steps – notify Google here.

It can take a week or so for Google to pick up on this (provided that you’ve followed the setup instructions precisely). And when they do you may not see every one of your blog posts indexed – rather you’ll see a few posts at a time gradually have your profile headshot and Google circle link added.

The results is a search result that stands out from competitors and conveys more authority – and hopefully translates into greater results for your company.

About a year ago an employee at the non-profit agency Hispanics United of Buffalo let loose with a Facebook rant about the work conditions. This prompted followup comments from coworkers

What the f… Try doing my job. I have 5 programs,” and “Tell her to come do [my] f***ing job n c if I don’t do enough, this is just dum

Naturally the co-worker spied the message. Passed the information along to their supervisor and the workers making the disparaging comments were all fired for cyber harassment of co-workers.

Fast forward to now. The five fired co-workers were all awarded their jobs back based on a National Labor Relations Board ruling that said employees have the right to talk to each other about improving work conditions.

These announcements can be sent up to once per week and are completely free as part of your participation in LinkedIn as a group administrator. You can’t send them in any format other than plain text though there does not appear to be any restriction on what you can insert to the mailing – including links to your own web site outside of the LinkedIn group.

Access the feature from the group’s manage menu. And for even more reach consider opening up your LinkedIn Group to the public so that links you may share can be browsed even by non-group members.

You rush around at conferences collecting business cards from exhibitors and your peers. In the back of your mind you promise that just as soon as you get back to the office you’ll key in all those contacts to your computer.

Did you know there’s an easier way to enter in that contact information?

Some business cards and advertisements now contain a tiny bar code symbol called a QR code. This is Quick Response code.  They bar codes can embed more than what they’ve been traditionally used for — either inventory item numbers or tracking numbers.

Using a free web site like ZXing you can input your own contact data and create a free bar code.

Here’s my contact information that I’ve created using the site above.

Now all you need is free scanning software for your smartphone. On Android I use Bar Code Scanner and on iPhone Red Laser is good (both are free).

Once you start the scanning application on your smartphone you simply hold it over the QR image and within seconds if the QR code contains address and contact information that data will display on your phone.

There are obviously some challenges to this concept of doing away with re-keying business cards – mainly that people need to use the QR codes on their cards and your smartphone (assuming you have one) needs free third party scanner software.

Gradually we (hopefully?) ‘ll see more widespread adoption of QR codes – and less re-keying.

According to a story in The Washington Post, The Internet Revenue Service will not mail out instructions or paper forms for the tax year 2011.

This change is expected to save the government $10 million annually and is happening because more Americans are filing online. According to the article only about 11.5 million people who filed paper tax returns in 2009 had received paper tax forms in the mail. The IRS normally starts mailing out the 2011 Form 1040 packages at the start of the new year. Last years’ mailing totalled 44 pages.

Are you just in the process of setting up your company with a new WordPress website?

You may have already found that changing the look of WordPress is as easy as downloading and installing a theme. This change is so simple that you can usually apply a new theme to WordPress in well under 5 minutes.

The problem is that many first time users of WordPress look for free themes by using a search engine. As Siobhan Ambrose of WPMU.ORG found – many of these free themes contain hidden code that may be malicious or causing your web site to unintentionally link out to other web sites (think spam and pharmacy type sites).

This post is a must read for anyone just getting started in the world of WordPress or who has been tasked with selecting a theme for their site.

Of the top ten listings on the first page of a Google search for “free wordpress themes” Siobhan found only 1 of 10 that she deemed safe.

As you may be aware one of the hidden “gotcha’s” of the Payroll processing is that when you print W2 forms in Sage ERP MAS 90 or MAS 200 that the CURRENT FICA/Medicare limits are used to establish the maximum wages subject to each tax which prints on the W2 form.

Since tax tables are shared globally across all your Sage ERP MAS 90 and MAS 200 companies – simply copying the current company code to a backup isn’t enough. You also must be aware of what the tax limits are for at least FICA and Medicare because those limits can impact W2 printing for those exceeding them.

If the FICA or MEDICARE limits are changing in the next year — AND you install the tax tables BEFORE printing the last year’s W2 forms then you run the risk of the W2 form (for those exceeding FICA and/or Medicare) printing the maximum wage limit that’s included in your next year tax table instead of the limits for the year just passed.

Regina Gutcher, a Sage Customer Support Specialist, provided the following guidance on this LinkedIn discussion:

The recommended procedure if you need to run a 2011 payroll before printing 2010 W-2s is:

1. Back up all Payroll data.
2. Create a new company code in Company Maintenance. Copy Company to copy P/R, C/I and G/L (and Job Cost, if integrated).
3.. Run year-end for the original company.
4. Install the updated 2011 tax tables.
5.. Process payroll for the original company for the current year.
6.. Before printing the W-2s, install last year’s tax tables(2010) and access the Copy Company.
7. Reinstall the updated tax tables when finished.

Keep in mind that FICA is not the only limit we need to be concerned about when printing W-2s. For some states, the limits for State Disability or State Unemployment may also need to be printed on the W-2.

Have you (or someone you know) recently received an urgent email claiming to be from the IRS. Sometimes the email asks for personal information. In other cases it directs you to call an 800 number. In the most scary situations there’s an attachment known as the “Zeus Banking Trojan” that the scammers hope you’ll download.

Well don’t fall for it.

According to Connecticut CPA Thomas Scanlon – a widespread scam preys on the belief that if someone does not respond to an official looking email that there could be penalties.

Thomas’s recommendation – discard emails claiming to be from the IRS unopened.

Please if you do nothing else to improve your company’s service – train your employees to take ownership of problems.

Have you ever called in for a question about a customer service issue and the representatives, while helpful, seemed like they couldn’t transfer your phone call quick enough to another department.

I bet those experiences are mis-managed by companies who measure “success” by how quickly a representative can “fix” a problem (aka – get you off the phone or pass you to someone else). These customer service experiences are like one big game of hot potato.

A phone transfer or handoff of the problem to another employee is not a fix for a problem. In some cases it will cause you to lose customers – who leave based on not much more than the poor service that they just experienced.

This recently happened to me at T-Mobile.

I was looking to re-connect a line of service. This should have been a 5 minute slam-dunk for T-Mobile. They would have added another subscribers (since I was a former subscriber it’s even better and they term it a “win back”).

Instead what happened? I was passed from one representative to another — in a circular motion.

Customer service said “hold on you need to speak to activations”. Then when I was passed to activations they said “hold on you need to speak to customer service”.

After two rounds of this I was done.

There are, after all, other cell phone providers offering pretty much the same service using similar phones.

Are you losing customers based on similar poor customer service?

What could T-Mobile have done to improve their service?

1. Have the representative stay on the phone to make sure the transfer happens (it doesn’t hurt to get a callback number in case you’re disconnected).

2. Understand the problem. It shouldn’t be a race to see how quickly you can hit the “transfer” button.

3. Never measure customer satisfaction based on how many calls per day a representative handles. Measuring speed only provides incentive to pass the problem off to someone else regardless of the customer outcome.

Are any of these had to implement? Would they take hours and hours of re-training for your staff?

No.

Are your employees empowered to take ownership of a problem (from start to finish) as opposed to passing the problem to another employee?

If not, why not?

Sage today made official that they’ll be rolling out a common payroll based on their SData communication protocol. This common payroll fills a hole in the Sage MAS 200 SQL release (due November 2010) where legacy (non 4.x standard modules which include payroll) cannot be used with the MAS 200 SQL release.

By creating a common payroll solution Sage hopes to cut down development costs that are soaring as the government continues to change employer tax laws. Each change in tax law requires Sage to update payroll (usually at the very end of the year when everyone is busiest), test the changes, and quickly distribute those upgrades to end users.

Under the Sage Common Payroll initiative the ACCPAC SQL Payroll will be used by at least four Sage products (ABRA SQL v10.1, MAS500 v7.3, ERP X3 v6.1, MAS200 SQL 4.45).

Integration levels will vary depending upon product with only Accpac and ABRA receiving level 3 or very robust integration.

Here’s Sage’s Official Announcement:

Common Payroll is the Sage ERP Accpac payroll module which has been enhanced to become a best-of-breed SQL Server-based payroll that can serve the needs of many of our Sage North America customers. With over 4000 payroll customers in the US and Canada, the Sage ERP Accpac payroll module has a strong track record of providing value to small and medium sized businesses.

Using Sage ERP Accpac payroll as the foundation and the new common sData communication protocol to facilitate connectivity, the new Common Payroll module will offer the tightest level of integration possible between payroll and all of our ERP solutions.

How will a Common Payroll support Sage’s strategy to maximize our assets and reduce redundancies? One example lies in the hundreds of new tax changes that are mandated each year. In 2009 there were more than 200 changes released and that number is expected to increase in 2010. To keep on top of these changes, Sage spends a great deal of money each year to maintain our 12 unique payroll modules, and in some cases, multiple versions for each product. Imagine how much we could accomplish by removing this redundancy of effort, provide the updates in a form that could be used by all our products, and instead leverage our resources to provide customers with greater value, such as new connected services. And because the payroll-related connected services such employee benefit services would only need to be developed once, it would mean they could be made available immediately to all our customers with little to no incremental effort required by individual product teams.

The Common Payroll initiative also supports our goal for providing an Extraordinary Customer Experience as we focus our efforts on developing a single best-of-breed solution that surpasses the functionality and ease of use found in our current payroll modules. This new, unified payroll module will not only scale as a business grows, but if a customer needs to upgrade to another Sage ERP (enterprise resource planning) product, the payroll data will seamlessly migrate.

Common Payroll integration will soon be on the roadmaps for many of our other products, so stay tuned for details. You can rest assured that the native payroll module will continue to be enhanced, sold and supported for those products where it doesn’t make sense to adopt a common payroll.

The Common Payroll integration is an important step toward achieving our objectives and providing your clients with greater value. Projects like Common Payroll not only generate substantial savings and leverage best practices, but enable us to deliver a common experience to our mutual clients.

Members of the group initially met at the Sage conferences. Over time we noticed that we’d be sharing a lot of tips and tricks via email. Suddenly what used to be an email to three people had 15 CC: email addresses.

Realizing that this wasn’t a scaleable solution we moved to Yahoo Groups (which we still are using) to automate group emails. Instead of having to be sure that we “reply all” to group messages — Yahoo Groups (free) manages our group and provides one email adress for all members to mail.

In return Yahoo emails out the message to all group members. Or members can elect to read the messages on the web.

This has worked – and continues to work – pretty well for technical emergencies where one of our 27 member companies has a question about an error message.

Where we start to bog down as a group is in the chit chat and off-topic messages. Each month we’re exceeding over 500 messages sent and for individual members that becomes a burden to wade through when all they may want is to see technical tips.

So what we’re now looking at is a free service from Socialcast that is similar in layout to Facebook.

Messaging in Socialcast is private. We are able to form groups for different topics depending upon member (sales, technical, etc).

What’s better about Socialcast is that it also:

Integrates a profile so that any of our 415 individuals can know more about a member they may never have met. This includes phone number, messages the member has sent, a list of specific skills (you can add your own fields – and they are all searchable):

Better applications – while similar services also offered mobile applications – those offered by Socialcast seem to allow for reading threaded messaging with a little less effort. There are also integrations to Microsoft Outlook and Sharepoint for those old school members who don’t yet have smartphones (iPhone, BlackBerry clients are available).

Sadly there’s no Android application (you have to use a mobile optimized web page for Android) – however Socialcast hints that something should be here by the end of 2010.

Socialcast also lets you import almost any of your Social Media feeds (Twitter, Facebook Digg, Flickr) to any of your streams. What I use this for is to setup the group’s technology feed so that any of the items I share in Google Reader go right to the specific group that hosts general technology tips.

By making a separate tech feeds group in Socialcast I don’t over-share with people who may join the group only to learn about the latest technical issues with Sage ERP.

Here’s what the feed setup looks like:

We’re still in the evaluation stage for whether Socialcast will replace our group’s email delivery. Some of the push back we’ve received is that people don’t want “another place to check” or another login and password to remember . The beauty of the email delivery that we were used to is that there was none of the extra place to check or login. Naturally the downside to email is that if you become active enough you start to drown in messages — not all of which are relevant to your interests.

Do you have a LinkedIn account which you access infrequently and might have trouble remembering the password?

Here’s a tip from Dawn Westerberg whose LinkedIN account was linked to her old work email address.

When she left her job she had forgotten her LinkedIN password.

Without access to her old work email address she was unable to perform a standard password reset which would have sent a link to her (old) email enabling her to login to LinkedIn.

It turns out that if you forget your password and cannot access your registered email address (in Dawn’s case this was her old work address) then LinkedIn will not – (a) reset your password, (b) update your account or (c) transfer/merge account information to another account.

Their solution? Create a new account and re-invite your connections.

Seriously. That’s the best solution that LinkedIn has to offer?

Think about the time when you are changing jobs. That’s typically when you need to use LinkedIn the most.

And if for some reason you’re unable to remember the password or gain access to your old work email address – you’ll be potentially shut out of important LinkedIn connections!

To be safe, use a primary email address that YOU own to sign up for LinkedIn – and not an employer email that you would lose access to when changing jobs.

LinkedIn allows you to enter in additional email addresses (such as work) so that people can still send invitations by knowing your work email.

Change your primary email address in: Settings – Personal Information – Email Addresses.
