J C MARTIN AND ASSOCIATES WISH ALL OUR CLIENTS A HAPPY NEW YEAR !

FISCAL year that is!!

5th April 2010 has come and gone, heralding the start of a new fiscal year and the “open season” for PAYE form filing. It is our busy time when we perform all the compliance duties on your behalf for 2009/10, and have a spring clean of our data files in preparation for the new year 2010/11.

A new year brings new resolutions, so we thought we’d share some of ours with you.

1 – Communications – as good as we think they are we intend to improve them:
Our website, www.jcmartinassociates.co.uk has been live now for a couple of months. We have already made a few changes to it since it’s launch, and further changes will be rolling out this week. If you haven’t seen our website yet, please take a peek and let us know what you think.
The website will be carrying a Blog from today. The Blog is designed to keep you abreast of news that might affect you and your payrolls (and we intend to update this at least weekly). There will be sections for Payroll, HR, Tax, and any other relevant subject matter that you might need information on.
We are now on Twitter – http://twitter.com/jcmartinassoc . Feel free to follow us there. All postings are and will be business related and, again, are designed to provide a quick means of communicating with pertinent news and views from our payroll environment.
Email is used by many of you to communicate with us. We will provide a regular email newsletter to those of you that feel you might benefit with a summary of all our news. Let us know the email addresses of anyone else within your organisation that might benefit from this service.
A new domain means a new email address. To send us an email please change our email address to payroll@jcmartinassociates.co.uk .
We want your feedback. After looking at our website, we would be delighted if you would spare us 10 minutes to complete a Client Survey at http://www.surveygalaxy.com/surPublishes.asp?k=TQIQX12TP75A .
We have always endeavoured to keep abreast of changing times and now is no different. Times are changing and we need to change with them.

We have been working quietly and efficiently with our clients for over twenty years, delivering a service that we have been proud of. We have often been unsung pioneers in the West Country. Our Bureau was the only authorised independent commercial BACS Bureau throughout Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset for over fifteen years. We were the first local bureau to use security payslips, and then mailers. Regardless of our size, we intend to continue setting the pace and being one or even two steps ahead of our local competition.

2 – Future Developments – within the next few weeks we hope to be piloting a new payroll system that will deliver:
Payroll, Personnel and Time & Attendance options, all sharing one database
Secure, online time sheets
Secure, online time and attendance recording
Secure, online time and attendance reporting
Secure, online employer enquiries
Secure, restricted online employee enquiries
Secure, online historic payslips
Secure, online printable payslips
Full human resources management
Big changes with big ambitions. We will be organising a suitable presentation for you once we are ready to launch. In the meantime, if any of our clients are interested in piloting the software with us please let us know. We welcome your involvement.

With our best wishes for another satisfying year ahead,
