Companies often shop for payment processing services based on cost. For many businesses, especially those in regulated industries, using this criteria may not lead you to the best payment software for your company. This is because not all payment processing services are the same. Some payment softwares are designed with specific industries in mind and don’t offer the payment processing services your consumers and your office require (or include features you’ll never need).

Employers who provide non-cash, work-related benefits to employees should consider the potential tax implications of “fringe benefits”. A “fringe benefit” is a form of pay provided to employees in addition to stated pay, such as lodging and meals, that will be taxable to an employee unless an exclusion applies. 26 CFR § 1.162-32 and IRC Sections 132 and 162(a) are the two fringe benefit exclusions employers must consider when providing lodging to employees.

When we talk about “compliance and security," most companies want to ensure that steps are being taken to protect what they value most – people, data, real or personal property, intellectual property, digital assets, or any other number of other things - and it’s more important than ever that safeguards are in place.

In the state of Massachusetts, there is no requirement that the work on a project has to be completed, or even started before initiating a mechanic’s lien. Therefore, as a matter of course, it is good business practice for contractors, subcontractors and sub-subcontractors to initiate the procedures for a mechanic’s lien as soon as possible. A mechanic’s lien is an invaluable tool to ensure payment for a construction project.
