Many companies have fax machines that they regularly use to send faxes to clients and colleagues. Faxes are often sent to local and national recipients through a landline phone system. Some companies have recently switched over to a different way of sending faxes online, without a fax machine. This saves them the expenses involved in owning and operating a fax machine. It also clears up some space in their offices. Online faxes serve the exact same purpose as traditional faxes, but they do not come in a hard copy. They are sent as electronic mail attachments. As soon as your business is ready to make the switch from paper to digital, an online fax service can start cutting costs.

Fax machines require you to buy paper and ink cartridges fairly often, especially if you are sending and receiving a large amount of faxes. The price of paper has gone up dramatically in the past few years. This is because the supply of trees is becoming scarcer, and people do not have as much of a need for paper, since so much is saved and stored on computers. Ink cartridges are often expensive and usually have to be replaced a few months after buying them. If you decide to use an online fax service, you will be amazed by the money you save not purchasing expensive paper and cartridges.

When you set up online fax capabilities at your company, you are given a local number. This allows anyone with a fax machine or online fax account to send you faxes. It also allows you to send faxes to anyone electronically. So, online fax services satisfy all your faxing needs at a fraction of the cost.  Read more…

One of the most common and often expensive mistakes an employer can make is to misclassify their employees as being exempt from overtime, if they are, in fact, non exempt employees by law. Exempt employees are often referred to as salaried employees and in very basic terms it means that the employee is therefore is not eligible for overtime. California labor law addresses what criteria are necessary in order to classify employees properly. This law relates specifically to the California administrative exemption, the California professional exemption, the California executive exemption, and the California outside sales exemption. “California” is stressed because the federal labor laws are slightly different than those of the state of California. As an employer or employee it is wise to educate yourself on your state’s employment laws or the consequences could be costly.

It’s also important to note that in California, whenever a labor law dispute is brought to court, the burden of proof is on the employer. This means it is the employer’s responsibility to prove that they are not guilty of the violations they are accused of committing. Lastly, and most importantly, for the most part, the actual job duties that an employee performs determine whether or not they are exempt, not the job title given to them.

The California administrative exemption statute states that in order for an employee to be classified as exempt the employee must perform office work or non manual work that is directly related to policy shaping or business operations. This means that the employee must have the power to issue and enforce company policy. It does not necessarily apply to workers that are allowed to exercise discretion in their daily job function, within the parameters or guidelines of existing company policy. This can be confusing, but a very generic example of California administrative exemption may be helpful. A non exempt employee does not have the authority to create new rules that other company employees must follow, but an exempt employee would have this authority. Read more…
