Get Money For Keeping Your Employees Healthy

Posted by Agnes Alexander at Jun 28, 2010 | No Comments »

In another recent post, we talked about the cost of hiring employees. However, some of those costs can be given back to your small business in the form of government grants.

The new healthcare bill that was recently signed into law in 2010 by President Obama contains provisions that provide money to small businesses that promote and operate wellness and prevention programs for their employees. About $200 million in grants will be given out over five years, starting in 2011. These grants will be earmarked for small businesses with 100 or fewer employees and will be administered by the US Health and Human Services Department.

How can your business benefit from these grants? First, you must start a new wellness program. Grants are only available to those small businesses who launch new health improvement initiatives after March 23, 2010.

Coping with roadside rest area shutdowns

Posted by Wendy Conklin at Jun 28, 2010 | No Comments »

If you’re planning any road trips this summer, you might find that some of the highway rest stops you count on for food, fuel, and a break from driving are no longer in operation.

As noted in our Safety Blog last year, eight states had shut down roadside rest stops due to fiscal belt tightening. Among them were Colorado, Georgia, Louisiana, and Vermont, while Wisconsin cut staffing and North Carolina and South Carolina began reducing the days they remained open.

But more recently there’s been some good news. In June 2009, Virginia announced its state-run rest areas and welcome centers would be reduced from 42 to 23 in an effort to save $9 million annually; by February, the commonwealth began reopening all 19 facilities after the state DOT responded to a request from Gov.

Couples Money Management

Posted by Carolyn Mack at Jun 13, 2010 | No Comments »

Money, as well all know, is the root of all evil, but is also the most sought after resource. Without question, it complicates relationships, especially romantic. It causes two people to look at their hard-earned money now as “ours” and not “mine”, and also combines two completely different financial philosophies and histories.

It is essential to understand, first, how money affects each stage of a relationship. People that are in the early stages of dating compared to engaged or married have very different concerns.

Dating
When you’re first dating, finances are generally assumed to be separate because you have no legal ties and the big question has yet to be popped—unfortunately this means, there is still a chance that all will not be well in paradise forever.
For this reason, Kiplinger actually suggests establishing a written contract before you move in with your new sweetie to eliminate money-related issues. Whe Read more…

Mortgage Lender to Get Your Home Loan

Posted by admin at May 07, 2010 | 1 Comment »

Getting a loan for your new house can be quite a pain, especially if you opt to get one from a bank. Most banks are quite useless and getting a loan from them consumes a lot of time and a whole lot of effort. First you need to fill in a lot of paper work and you need a lot of documents in order to submit your application. This is why you should never approach a bank to get a loan since you will only be wasting your precious time. The other alternative is approaching a mortgage lender or broker to get you a home loan.

Banks require time, money and a good credit score. Not all people have that. Another horrible experience I’ve had with banks is facing the people at the desks. The people at the desks are extremely uninterested in helping you out and usually transfer you from one place to another, making a job which can be done in matter of seconds take hours to complete.
