    Verify Your Identity (CH) – anyone in the same situation?

    It does have the facility to do that, but there are never any new notices there, whereas notices are sent in the post to employees (and apparently to us, but Royal Mail often has difficulties locating our large, visible letterbox).

    Verify Your Identity (CH) – anyone in the same situation?

    Typical HMRC, the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing, but they compensate by wasting time and money. On a loosely related note, I used to be able to get my employees' tax codes from our online HMRC account, but no longer. As HMRC only send the tax code notices by snail mail...

    Solution: Job Seekers Benefits

    We are currently recruiting. I originally had four face-to-face interviews today. Two of them have withdrawn their candidacies. At least those were decent enough to warn me that they would not come, but as I write this, I am sitting alone in my office after 17:00 waiting for a candidate to turn...

    Which business bank account with low fees?

    The Co-operative Bank charge us around £30 per month. This fluctuates because it depends on how many payments (in and out) we make each month. I, too, would be interested in hearing about recommendations for decent business bank accounts.

    Different tax code for different employers

    If you think that's a bit steep, you are in for a bit of drama when your car insurance renewal comes up once he has passed his test, and you have added him to the list of drivers for your car. I did that for one of my daughters, and had a £2000 a year hike on the insurance!

    ICO - Who are they?

    We are B2B too and that was my way of thinking (backed by the ICO's own website) until a client of mine had one of their trustees force us to register. The trustee in question is a lawyer and works in the field of data protection I believe, so we just had to do it in order to keep the client...

    Simple VoIP recommendations?

    Did Ring Central give you a reason why they couldn't port your geographical number?

    Simple VoIP recommendations?

    Hello, There was a thread a while ago on this site about basic cloud-based VoIP solutions for small companies, but I can't find it anymore. We have a client with only 4 staff, looking for a very simple system to manage incoming calls from 4 different locations, transfer calls, and take...

    Hello, Coming rather late to the debate, sorry, but we are Sharepoint experts and would love to quote to sort this out. I know exactly what you mean about the skill level of the Microsoft first line people, and we are very likely to be able to fix this mess. Please get in touch if you are still...

    Gmail or outlook365

    Every version of Outlook can be configured to retrieve multiple mailboxes. I would like to add a +1 for Microsoft 365 here, as in 365, the administrator has overall visibility and control of who has access to which mailboxes. If you were to have a similar setup for Gmail mailboxes, it would be...
