It might seem far-fetched to think about children currently only eight years old entering the workforce, but those born in 2010 are at the tail end of Generation Z. This generation, which starts with those born in 1996, is made up of young Americans who have never known a time without cellphones or the Internet. Those at the younger end have never known a smartphone-free world. It is safe to say that this generation takes Wi-Fi for granted.

Critics of the performance review have long pushed for its extinction. And it's easy to jump on the bandwagon.

A new job means a fresh start, but it also means filling out tax forms again. And even if you're not starting work someplace new, the IRS still recommends that you revisit your withholding form intermittently, as well as anytime you have a significant life change, such as a marriage or birth. This is especially important during years when important tax changes have taken place. The IRS even offers a free withholding calculator that makes it easier to estimate just how much needs to come out of your paycheck every pay period.

Providing quality benefits to employees is a primary factor in retention and recruitment among companies both small and large. Being engaged with a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) can increase the quality of benefits passed along to employees. It is the PEO’s role to educate the client on the plan design of their benefits and on how much the employer should contribute to recruit the best talent to their organization. Companies without a PEO relationship require much more internal effort to secure quality benefits and ensure that benefits run smoothly from a financial perspective. Additionally, a special service offered by Employer Flexible called the Benefit Audit is a way to objectively process all employee costs related to benefits and advise a business as to where it could best save money in the long run.
