Who is responsible for a safe workplace and at home?

Do you mind if your employer inspects your home office before so you there one day a week to work? They found that their personal car to make sure it has a rating of adequate security when used occasionally for work?

Would you worry if your manager told him a desk for your office to buy the home, which is ergonomic to replace the President and resolve an old window that presents security problems? And in case you get your car serviced and replace worn tires at work prior to use?

Working from home comes with the risk that employers must assess.

You might disagree with your employer invade your personal space and have a say in the personal effects that are used for work purposes. Do you think the state of his office and carriage house, the money for the company saved if used, one thing is for them?

Think again. The responsibility of the employer to provide a safe working environment, goes through the property of the Company. Organizations have a responsibility to place to ensure, when the work is done - what could be for a home office, car, motor vehicle or elsewhere - is safe.

You want - allow you to look your employer in your home office Photo :? Jay L. Clendenin

What's your opinion?

· Does your employer the personal protective equipment for work used to check?

· Employers should the condition of the equipment for private security work may be used to say, to improve?

I would like to see information about the number of companies in order to keep records of safety devices and equipment for the work used, but not their own.

Do you want to - to buy a more ergonomic desk working at home Photo :? The Washington Post

Or how require employees to self-report on the condition of your home office or the security classification of personal vehicles are used at work, for example.

While companies in the workplace to promote greater flexibility, I rather doubt politics have their security checks held agreements are working remotely or increased use of private cars for work and enterprise fewer cars are made available.

This issue is full of potential liability. What happens if an employee was seriously injured while working from home, in a dangerous office? Or an accident in a personal car, then let the kids on the way to a work appointment?

The businessman said he knew nothing about the height of the home-office employees and personal vehicle, so can not be blamed. There is no defense. The employer must take appropriate measures, private facilities for work were certainly used to insure.

The responsibility of the employer to provide a safe working environment, goes through the property of the Company

The confusion of work and family life security problems even more complicated. I often remember leaders who worked late into the night to catch up when school children were collected. And others who worked on the weekends, if necessary, to meet deadlines.

How can an employer if an injury was to his home in the work at home job or personal time, as it will be carried out at different times? Or if the accident in the personal vehicle was due to labor issues partly as employee calls a client over Bluetooth in the car?

suspicious companies are concerned about the too far to sink into the personal assets of the employees - and by default your personal life. They should not be. If employees want to work at home, or use your car for work, they have to accept the control of the employer on the safety of these devices. It is in society and interest.

Smart companies develop clear guidelines on the use of personal property for business purposes, communicate systems of self-reporting online staff and establish.

Most inspect the home office or personal vehicles (catching some cars), rather than the burden on the staff put information about the status of the system of private property and equipment for the work used to provide and maintain security.

Companies, of course, could be a little go further with homeworkers or on the road a lot. They were able to train employees how to. Safe to work at home or provide additional driving courses for the staff available to spend on the road several days a week

The point is that the companies are not relieved of their responsibilities if they allow security personnel, every week one or two days to work at home.

And the staff should not assume use of private property for the work, in which the costs are reimbursed by corporate profits are exempt in any way and security policy control of the company.

to find hope more companies and employees, a balance on this subject. It is not good to embrace a new era of flexibility at work if security fails.

The controller is "to do everything at home better suited to help credit unions transition to Cubicle, consumers will best serve, safer and ultimately those credit unions the opportunity to grow and thrive," Ms. Matz said in a statement ,

An interruption in the proposal of a headlight in an industry that seems an anachronism in an age when the most important political debate about whether companies Wall Street is too big to fail, and not too small, to be sure.

Ms. Kain and her husband, Larry, keep your credit union on behalf of more than 500 family members. It has assets of about $ 550,000 and the annual meeting serves as a family reunion.

In his letter opposes the proposal NCUA explaining Cain to members 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If forced to move to a commercial site, Cain said he would have to reduce hours.

It also promotes its computer system, which she said was "the final precaution against piracy. If that is not connected to the Internet."

Unlike banks credit unions are nonprofit organizations whose members have a common bond through work, church, family relationship or other affiliation. Most home only provide basic financial services such as credit cooperatives savings accounts and loans for cars, avoiding contact with complex products such as mortgages and credit cards.

Like regular credit unions, which are reviewed annually to ensure their loans are solid and follow all the rules.

Mr. Sneyers said he proposed leaving the auditors work on a terrace built overlooking the pool.

The decision to maintain the status quo arrived too late to Fable Griffin, who manages the Federal Credit Union IHC Dallas for three years in his home in Colleyville, Texas. The union has about 110 members served, the current or former employees of a transport company. When one critic said that the cooperative who may find an office, Mrs. Griffin was a local church or closure of business premises to find.

• Home Office

make 5 mistakes with your home business (and what to do with them)

Top companies have to be the best alternative for office work or to supplement income.

Companies like Apple, stamps and even Facebook, started in garages or dormitories. Over the years, these companies have become international companies worth billions of dollars more.

Fortunately, there is a home business start not an exact science. Whether a hair salon, training, graphic design or freelance writing, there are many free resources that you can do to help.

However, there are some common mistakes that could be taken, which could be why it is still insignificant stuttering between benefit and survival mode.

Five of these errors are:

1. You have the mind and the space all confused.

As the owner of a home business can in the absence of an active work environment in relation to their role is passive. You can add a little more, take longer breaks sleep, and spending too much time in order to visit his family.

What you should do instead is to create mental compartments.

Find a way to get to separate your work time, your family time or a conference. Similarly, you should try to separate his role as parents or students in his role as an entrepreneur.

Then you have to create a work environment. For example, you may an office to carve space for your business. It could be a clean surface in a room, where a table and computer or a structure to your building is set to adjourn.

The goal is to create a place where your mind is easily adapted to work mode.

2. You do not always professional

Suppose I call an affiliate marketer from home. And during the conversation also the reputation often scream interrupted in the background to his children. Of course I will be uncomfortable, and perhaps find another buyer.

As the owner of a house company, your position your phone and e-mail are satisfied with your customers. This means that the phone is always with you, and you should have regular access to your email.

Second, you need to answer your calls professionally. And if you do not get for some reason on the phone, then you should use a voice message with a professional touch as do other companies.

In the same line, you must have a file for your business. This is where you keep all of your transactions. And if you do not have a PC, a specific folder for your business. Then let other people share the computer you know that your file should not be changed.

Professionalism also means a line get business from separate home line. And companies that involve personal contact, should the association have the professionalism to do your work with you.

Finally, you should also have a separate account for your business. Do not mix family with business accounts.

To always against all the odds in your home based business to succeed.

3. It is to plan for the unexpected failure.

So what if you get sick? What if your child is sick? What if you have tests or take a long trip out of town?

These contingencies require planning. If your customers you notice, are always excuses, you can not go back.

What you need to do is to outsource the work to people who can offer the same quality and can do it for you.

4. Ignore the tax laws, the laws of the licensing and registration laws.

Typically, most customers tend to make companies more serious than not registered registered.

It is not enough to create a tile or a sign outside your house to attract customers. You should also check with the local authorities to see if there are laws that restrict or payments are made.

Many companies have come just a try because they neglect this detail.
To be on the safe side of the law, consult a business lawyer for lawyers.

5. Your home business is not an e-presence.

The Internet is currently the best way to advertise their services. A top belt can reach your area, but a Facebook ad can literally reach the world.

For example, one of my friends made pencil sketches of people and offers its emails. He lives in Africa and has thousands of customers in Asia, North America and Africa.

Fortunately, it takes very little to create a website and register. As simple as it seems, the prospects are limitless. This unique factor can transform your home business to a large conglomerate.

Finally, the homeowners grow over your bedroom. Even if you want to remain a home business, there is simply no reason why you can not start raking in more much than they already do. All you need to do to avoid this error.

Home office can be a great tax deduction if done

It refers to a mobile workforce more people than ever are working from home. In addition to saving money on the street, there is also the money is in the deduction for home office expenses if you file your tax return.

"Too many companies fail at the home office deduction for fear of an impending test to use, even if they are right," said Merrill, CEO of fortune builders. Fear arises from a lack of understanding, especially the distribution of household expenses with respect to proportional. However, the gain in the thousands of dollars can be important.

Former IRS agent and author lever to the IRS, Sherry Jackson, who used one to perform tests. Today it focuses on setting up clients at home businesses. Before considering tax cuts, recommends checking Jackson with your local regulator to find out if you need a license of your business to work from home. When Jackson his CPA firmly started in his basement, he had the district administration seeking approval.

must According to the law, approved a Home Office IRS the principal place of business be founded. There must be regular, if not on a daily basis, and must be sufficiently representative and professionally, allowing customers to make campaigned there. Ben Kelley Tax Defense Network, LLC in Jacksonville, Florida recommends asking each time you add something to your home office. I do not intend to use it in my daily work tasks? If the answer is no, it is not part of the desktop.

In addition to an ideal place to be for your work, your home office is used exclusively for business. It can be a spare bedroom, but can not be used as a place to sleep. Replace the bed with a desk and offer the room with everything you need to do business. Even allowing that to take the transformed spaces in their homes advantage of the tax reduction.

Andrew Poulos Poulos Accounting turned his basement into a home office, claiming deductions, since a significant amount of work done there. It is also interesting that a home office does not have to be in the house. Dean Ferraro, Authoritax means a customer, the 150 square feet used a log cabin in your garden as your home office. Although the car is not attached to the house of 1700 square meters, is his property, then it is capable of 8 percent of their household expenses themselves, including income deducted. "Most people do not know that the home office deduction is the only way that the exemption personnel," says Ferraro.

"Home offices are one of the biggest risk factors for the review of tax returns," says Christopher Jervis, president of Lone Wolf Financial Services LLC. Eric L. Green, a tax attorney in New Haven, Connecticut agrees. "We see many checked out the aggressive use of the home office deduction."

To a "no questions asked" get the two experts say the safest bet is to bring your trigger the new simplified procedure. He also is known as approach the "safe harbor", can receive a standard deduction of $ 5 per square foot (not more than 300 square meters) of office space at home, the taxpayer. However, the actual cost of the traditional method often results in a larger deduction, and therefore greater control of the IRS. It is also more complicated because you have to identify and assign the actual costs and depreciation.

Find deductible expenses, which is essentially the percentage of employees turning household spending on legitimate tax deductions. Direct costs as a separate telephone line, newspaper subscriptions, insurance, etc. They are deductible to 100 percent. But experts say the indirect costs, such as utility bills, sanitation, Internet, property taxes, rent or mortgage and other issues that would even if you do not work at home, on a pro rata deductible costs.

To determine this percentage, experts say that the calculation of the area of the workspace and divided by the total area of your home. For example, 10 percent of indirect costs would be deductible if you worked in an office of 150 square meters at home of 1,500 square meters. Asif Muzaffarr, program director of tax accounting, inDinero, once had a client try 80 percent of 2-room apartment claim was used as an office. Finally Muzaffarr manager spoke a reasonable 15 percent to achieve, but only after he used to admit him into the kitchen and bathroom of the apartment outside "office hours".

Whatever you do, be sure to work with a professional who knows the ins and outs of the IRS. Before Poulos customer can cancel a home office, they pierced with the same problems who ask the IRS. Your due diligence will pay its low testing rates. Aaron Burnett, a freelance photographer in Montana, written since 2010 from your home office, and continues to be based on an accountant to help you. It is expensive, but so far, do not represent the IRS questions so Burnett to spend quiet and more time and money on fancy room camera equipment and editing software their guests.

The new corporate workplace: The draft beer, bring your dog to work in the short term and a lease

opened as a co-working company Cruz Campus office in downtown Los Angeles next month, the tenant companies typical environments are to create seek common work, common coffee and flexibility of a short-term contract lease.

But the location of 33,000 square meters on the Wilshire Boulevard company is also a less typical variety, including real estate developers, law firms and FactSet Research Systems Inc., a number of financial data publicly traded company in Connecticut, more than 8,000 people worldwide.

Long the domain of technology entrepreneurship and individual workers, large companies such as FactSet, Delta Air Lines and homebuilder Lennar Corp. Now offices Coworking rent. And many are trying to do so for the same reason, start-ups are attractive concept: hip environment and lack of commitment to a job offer leasing shortly.

"The business world begins to look into this," said Olshansky Ronen, CEO of Campus de la Cruz, a company co-working is based in Santa Monica. "They appreciate the flexibility."

Rising demand has companies like Cruz campus expansion through Los Angeles and helped the nation to fill vacancies and rents all market participants to increase commercial real estate.

The companies have a private office tenants, often in a shallow glazed with other companies that share facilities such as pool tables, cafes and meditation rooms. You could also events such as lunch Bloody Mary and speaking entrepreneurs.

A company or individual entrepreneur can even renting an office if they do not need an office or not afford.

Coworking - which in the past decade in the last half of the technology - exploding boom - has given new opportunities for large companies, the conditions are jobs or operations for the introduction of new cities.

Normally they would have driven short - term contracts or employees in business centers - a more comprehensive version of the co-jobs today, said John Zanetos, Vice - President of Real Estate Services CBRE Group Inc.

Elizabeth Brennan, Vice - President of FactSet said co-operation, the company makes a market without large financial commitment in an area to enter, which is often unknown. At the same time, employees receive a "hip, cool" workplace.

The location of the campus in Santa Monica Cruz FactSet is now, for example, provides the cock craft beer, craft coffee and the chance to take your dog to the office.

"These are to provide all the keys to the employees happy," said Brennan. "We are interested in the rooms that not only allow us to do great work and innovation work, but also the places where you want to go to work."

In the coming weeks, the company will move to data from the Santa Monica area in the center of the cross site Campus - comes from the city, which will have about 10 employees, who continue to have the access to the conference room and space Westside side ~~ POS = HEADCOMP should want to host a meeting.

"This is very useful because we have customers from downtown - city, we have customers near the beach," Brennan said.

In fact, the large distances in the region and independent divisions said the first Los Angeles basin for the growth of co-working are, Jamie Hodari, co-founder of the worker, a company that plans to open a center position - of common work in this summer city and Lennar as a tenant in other regions.

"More than any other place, have to offices in different parts of the city, is to be attractive," she said - her.

The cost may be lower than a normal lease office because less direct space, conference rooms can be divided and equipment and furniture are delivered generally required in the price.

For example, as a report from CBRE a traditional lease for 10 employees in Washington, DC, 1400-1900 square feet and cost between $ 72,000 and $ 97,000 per year should be on average, including configuration space needs tenants. A Co-job for 10 people, now runs between $ 52,000 and $ 84,000.

The same dynamics are at play in the Los Angeles area.

A site Campus Santa Monica Cruz, an office of 10 people starts about $ 4500 per month and includes offices, drinks, valet parking, and access to shared meeting rooms.

With an average rental rate of $ 4.53 per square foot per month on the west side, an office of 1,500 square meters would be $ 6,795 per month - and that is before a company paid for offices and all changes to the made settings such as the installation of a conference room ,

Meanwhile cooperating companies can make a profit, because they can pay more than a foot per square meter than the market, while more tenants on one floor packaging, Zanetos said.

The co-main company working nationwide WeWork based in New York, sustainable risk a company worth $ 16 billion, which is more than 75 locations in the US and worldwide.

WeWork opened a 91,000 square foot location in the center of the Gas Company Tower - Add center, two in Santa Monica and Hollywood - city in February, another hub. Offices in Pasadena, Culver City, Playa Vista and Irvine are also on the way.

In Santa Monica, WeWork tenants include Delta and Storage - company Dropbox cloud Inc. said Jon Slavet, West Coast General Manager WeWork.

Elizabeth Wolf, a door - Delta speech, so the company used as Heimats WeWork "temporarily" to "some members of our team, as they grow up in LA and looking for a new permanent office space in the city."

Another new wrinkle is working in co-tenant to sign multi-year contracts as the working environment, among other companies like - something that can not be created by the tenants themselves - same Slavet said.

"The people who have a month to month changes considered community in the past," he says - it.

FactSet Brennan said the company is likely to Campus Cruz exceed 1 day but I did not expect that little returns the size of the company to work together.

"Even with the robust growth, I think we'll be there for many years."

At this time - no, the company will have a better idea of where in Los Angeles he wants to eliminate.

Productivity 12 tips for parents to work from home

SALT LAKE CITY - Did you know that 3.7 million employees - about 3 percent of the American workforce - work at home at least half the time? Not counting those who are self-employed. In the last three years, the population of teleworkers has increased by 5.6 percent and autonomously, the population of the main business increased by 18.7 percent, according to the Global Workplace Analytics.

With computers in our pockets and desktops in the cloud, select most of us, to work from home. This flexibility is good, but when raising children while working, productivity is hard to find.

As a work at home mom and coach for women who work at home, I found it both a "father" and "working mother" under the same roof to be - often at the same time - I have long ago to the days of a Travel.

For parents who are struggling at home to balance and work to form a family, here are 12 tips.

1. Hold a legitimate calendar

# 1 suggestion I can offer is the creation of a master plan, which, when it indicates to work, and if they are not. Then do everything in your power that schedule to keep. by dirty dishes or children playing on the swings is not distracted. They fear not, the program your style cramp is. I promise it will release.

2. Various functions with time blocks

The best way to balance throughout the day to find the "father" and "working father" is to integrate blocks of time in this Annex.

Chelsea Briggs is a mortgage processor with young children at home.

"Locking time help," he said. "I block time for my children during the day to have a little mother now. I try to keep all my calls when my kids slumber when I can. For me it is impossible of distractions to get rid of, but timeouts really helps. "

I suggest, so that the stack of clothes do not cancel blocking time for his role as "caretaker" a report of the logistics.

3. Working in a particular workspace, preferably with a door

This was not a luxury for me. My "office" was a desk and a shelf next to a wall in the living room. The effort, organized and stay focused intensively. Often I will make calls from customers in the laundry room, stuck in my training master closet and write articles in my room, as these rooms have doors.

It is nice to be where my children are, and a lot of work that I can do, but there is always a part of my business, that feels scattered, no matter what happens.

Beth Pf is the mother of three children in Syracuse, Utah, who worked mainly at home for years. You may have an office in your home to avoid and suggest distractions: "If you have defined space to work, set times when the children have to play away from you This works if they are older When my children were babies.. had working at night during sleep. "

4. Change your pajamas

In earnest. Also comfortable yoga pants make it easy for us in less productive activities fall. Slippers, other? I follow you.

5. Keep a large block - notes

Distractions from other people in the house, while they work to take their toll. a request from a child honoring often means that it spend an extra 15 minutes to figure out where you left off.

Keep a notebook nearby and if you need step back to help someone (or to stop the fight is out on Xbox), write down what you do, and you expect two things in mind to do it ,

Rent 6. Aid

Even with a flexible schedule, sometimes you can not do everything you. You may need to hire someone to help with housework or childcare. With a nanny, nanny or helper mother a few days makes a week, a difference in productivity.

When I wrote my book and manuscript had an urgent deadline, I made a 11-year-old boy with the children to come and play for several hours a week, while I was not home.

7. Exchange Kid

When the adjustment aid for their children is not an option, perhaps you could organize a cooperative nanny. Is there another parent who works at home near you? Or a mother who one day to be needed? Coordinate plans and day trading kids to see everyone else.

8. Special brand of working

When used with children who are not an option, create a list of activities that kids can do that. While working This will help them get excited about the time you spend working.

When my children were preschoolers had a special cabinet of activities that are only for use available during or busy working. We had a sticker Box, am tone, junk cars, etc. The children made a bigger mess because I was not there with them, but they had a good time, and the work was a good compromise.

9. announce that you work

Prior to his office or to jump into the teleconference enter, ask your children what you can do for them before they leave the workpiece. I promise, this problem alone reduce interruptions stupidly.

10. Sell your kids about your "Why"

Help your children understand what you do for work and how it helps the family. provide the ability to define a family of reward if you meet an appointment or reach their quota. If they feel they are part of the team, they will be more willing to give the time and space you need to get there.

Janika Barfuss is a health coach, who is not afraid to sit their children and explain what it does and why it works. "I tell you, I need your help with the things in your home so that you can work more efficiently," Barefoot said. Gather the children around the idea of holiday fun things. "We are in the same boat. It's a win-win all the way."

11. involve your children

Think to comprise of creative possibilities their children. Can you put stamps on envelopes? Enter the customer data? Or maybe you could "pretend" a place for them in their office set up to work with you.

12. Hate is not used to entertain Netflix. Way. Too. Lots.

It uses all the time on the screen in order to do our work. It is a great club.
