How Businesses Can Save Money on Holiday Hiring
 With just a few weeks to go until Thanksgiving, Christmas and Hanukkah, retailers are seeking to fill seasonal positions Snagajob.com is reporting that on average retailers plan to hire 3.1 seasonal employees in 2009, a drop of 16% from last year. They report that retailers aren't the only ones hiring. Other good bets include warehouse jobs, restaurant jobs and hotel jobs. Tax preparation companies like Jackson Hewitt and H&R Block also offer seasonal jobs.
If you are hiring seasonal employees this holiday season you are not alone. Thousands of companies nationwide have already begun their annual holiday hiring to accommodate the expected increase in seasonal sales.
The holiday hiring season provides a huge opportunity for employers to take advantage of the Work Opportunity Tax Credit. WOTC applies to new hires only for employees who fall into one of the following categories:
- Designated Community Resident
- Ex-Felon
- Family Assistant Recipient
- Family Assistant Recipient (long term)
- SNAP Recipient (food stamps)
- SSI Recipient
- Summer Youth
- Veteran
- Veteran (disabled)
New hires do not have to be full-time employees in order for you to qualify for the tax credit. As long as the employee works between 120 - 400 hours for your company you can receive up to 40% of their wages (up to $6,000) in tax credits.
CMS has processed WOTC tax credits for companies for over 13 years and based on our experience up to 15% of the workforce is eligible for the employment tax credits. Why aren’t you taking advantage? Call CMS today at 1-800-517-9099 to find out how we can save you money this holiday season.
Calculate your potential tax savings with our WOTC Tax Credit Savings Calculator

Sage Abra Success Story: Pathstone

Farmington, CT - September 15, 2009 Cost Management Services has implemented the Sage Abra HRMS solution for Pathstone, a not-for-profit community development and human service organization headquartered in Rochester, New York. CMS implemented Sage Abra HRMS along with a bi-directional integration with Sage MIP payroll that turned out to be critical in PathStone's successful transformation.
Prior to the implementation of Sage Abra HRMS Pathstone had used a home-grown, Microsoft Access database along with Sage MIP Fund Accounting for payroll processing. However, the two applications weren't integrated and HR staff at Pathstone spent up to 10 hours every week having to manually enter duplicate data into each system. In addition payroll updates weren't always picked up in HR and vice versa. Senior VP of HR Lisa Zhu said, "After a while, discrepancies in the two systems made it difficult to prepare accurate budgets and a lot of time was wasted reconciling data."
Today, Sage Abra HRMS has helped PathStone simplify everything from new hire processing to ongoing administration. Lisa states, "We were spending a couple of hours each day on HR and payroll issues - either entering and reconciling data or looking up information. But with Sage Abra, we've streamlined our entire new hire process workflow and slashed data entry time in half." Information entered in Sage MIP Payroll is now moved easily to Sage Abra HR with the click of a button. Plus, the data stays synchronized when changes are made in either system.
"With Sage Abra HRMS, we've streamlined our entire new hire process workflow and slashed data entry time in half. The staff at CMS did a thorough analysis of our processes and reporting needs before implementing an HR system that turned out to be a fantastic solution." Lisa Zhu, Senior VP of HR, PathStone Sage Abra HRMS also provided Pathstone with the reporting capabilities needed for their compliance regulations needed to grants and funding, essential to the not-for-profit organization.
Another important feature of the award-winning HR system was the ability to customize Sage Abra to meet Pathstone's specific needs. According to Lisa, "Some of our staff is required to maintain state certifications, are entitled to tuition reimbursement, or require special training courses. We use Sage Abra custom fields to track certifications, dates of completion, and reimbursement amounts."

CMS Announces WOTC Webinar Series for Federal Employment Tax Credits
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Linzi Strong (860) 678‐4401 lstrong@cmshris.com
New work opportunity tax credit (WOTC) webinars to educate employers of all sizes on how to take advantage of the Federal Employment Tax Credits.
Farmington, CT – February 20, 2009 – Cost Management Services (www.cmshris.com), a provider of employer based solutions including work opportunity tax credit (WOTC) services, Sage Abra HRMS Solutions, web based recruiting software iRecruit, and human resource management and payroll solutions, launched a new online webinar series for their work opportunity tax credit (WOTC) services. The personalized webinar series is designed for businesses that want to take advantage of the federal tax credits, but are unaware of who may qualify and the processes involved.
Introduction of the new WOTC Webinar Series (www.cmswotc.com) means CMS now provides employers with additional information that can assist them in saving money ‐‐ including their longstanding WOTC full‐service options. This webinar series will be a great educational tool. The webinar series will be held twice weekly beginning February 24th. Full Schedule details can be found on our website (www.cmswotc.com).
“Like the products and services we already provide to our customers,” says Brian Kelly, managing partner of CMS, “our clients who sign up for our WOTC services save up to a maximum of $5,000.00 per new hire that qualify. Furthermore, based on our analysis we have determined that 10% to 15% of all your new hires qualify under the federal provisions to receive such a tax savings.”
We often find businesses are not aware of the benefits of the WOTC program or they are unsure of the filling process to qualify for the work opportunity tax credit, thus not being able to cash in on the credits available. This is particularly problematic because those companies are not taking advantage of the cost savings that can highly benefit them in a tough economy. Brian Kelly adds, “Employers can now become more educated on the WOTC while finding additional ways to capture the sometimes millions of dollars left on the table by not taking advantage of these terrific employer job creation incentives.”
For details about our WOTC services, visit: www.cmswotc.com

Sage Abra SQL 8.5 Expands Employee Self-Service to Further Simplify HR/Payroll for Mid-Sized Businesses
Sage Abra SQL 8.5 Expands Employee Self-Service to Further Simplify HR/Payroll for Mid-Sized Businesses
ST. PETERSBURG, FL--(Marketwire - February 17, 2009) - Sage North America announced today Sage Abra SQL HRMS 8.5, the latest version of the company's Microsoft ® SQL Server-based HRMS software for mid-sized businesses and organizations in North America. New employee self-service (ESS) functionality has been added to version 8.5 to allow users to view and access more of their payroll data online.
"As businesses today look more deeply into their processes to contain costs and be more competitive, we're committed to delivering product improvements that will help them meet those efficiency goals," said Karl Grass, senior vice president and general manager for Employer Solutions at Sage North America. "Our new Sage Abra SQL serves the payroll and HR software needs of mid-sized businesses with more robust technical requirements, while Sage Abra Suite for Visual FoxPro serves the needs of both small and mid-sized users. We're committed to continue making feature and functionality improvements to both versions of Sage Abra HRMS."
Sage Abra ESS, the employee self-service module of Sage Abra, helps companies and organizations automate their business processes and give employees ownership of their personal information, helping to improve employee satisfaction and relieving human resources staff from administrative requests, so they can focus on more strategic employee development programs. A new ESS feature built into version 8.5 allows employees to view their pay history, as well as drill down to the details on specific paychecks.
"Using Sage Abra with ESS, our employees are able to have instant access to their pay histories, update their benefit information, and check their attendance and time-off accruals," said Kathy Bennett, payroll administrator for Fidelity Bank, one of Atlanta's largest community banks with more than 325 employees, and 23 branches in the city and surrounding area. "They get the information on-demand, whenever and wherever they need it, and we get fewer calls and requests in our HR department."
With workflow capabilities and customizable features, Sage Abra's ESS module provides a central location for employees, managers, and administrators to view and manage important personal data and company information, delivering time- and cost-savings, with a proven return on investment (ROI).
Sage Abra is human resource management system (HRMS) software that delivers tightly integrated functionality across HR, payroll, benefits, training, and attendance, with rich reporting and analysis, and a Web workforce portal with employee self-service, company communications, benefits enrollment, applicant tracking, and more. The product line features support for multiple databases, with Abra SQL supporting Microsoft SQL Server, and Abra Suite supporting Visual FoxPro. Customers also have the options to run Abra SQL and Abra Suite either as a turn-key hardware/software solution or in a managed server hosted environment.
