Our company has gone paperless with the pay stubs. Now I will not know how much money goes to what. I tried logging onto this new web site, it takes forever to load and then after 55 minutes it shows "session timed out". I got dial-up connection, that may be the reason for the problems. Though I read on the web site that I may have to use the same web browser as what my company uses to access this new system.
I have limited options out here in the sticks. Either satellite Internet or wireless Internet. The wireless Internet I think I can afford at $39.95 for 768k/384k . Though for $60 I could have 3.0M/768k. The cheaper should be better then dial-up which typically averages about 48 Kbps. On top of that I heard on the local news that phone companies would like to drop land line service all together as most have some kind of a cellphone. Apparently land line has a high upkeep, which seems quite obvious. But there too living out in the sticks, cellphone service is still somewhat spotty often in bad weather. Especially when the cell tower doesn't have an automatic back-up generator when the power goes out. |

Many lare comapnies have gone paperless on payroll. I retired from a convenience store chain. We went ompletely paperless and thoe employees without bnk accounts got a pre-paid MC. There pay was added to the card weekly. We didn't get W2 at teh end of year either. Most tax preparers are able to access the on-lin stub with info you provide and if you are a do it your selfer Tubo Tax, for one, also has the ability to download you info into the program.'
Now as to internet service. Strange as it may seem the US is way down the list on availability. The slower speed has some problems just like your dial-up. Many companies write web pages that use particular characteristics of a certain browser. Since they are free it is no big deal to load the one you need for payroll nd only use it for that. I use SlimBrowser and have for over 10 years. It is easy to use, blocks pop-ups and is secure. It uses IE as an engine but is slimmer and faster. It also flies under the hacker radar. Satelite presents another problem called latency. Skype or any VOIP (voice over internet protocol). there is a noticeable delay in he trip up and back down that causes echos and over speaking. You revert to saying "Over" like back in WWII movies. "Did you get that tank, Over?" "Yes we did over". Annoying. Wireless an be affected by weather just like cell phonesbut usually not as bad. It is line of site though. Check out the company and talk to curent users. Hope all this babble helped. |

Thanks :) I have talk to my supervisor and he recommended on using the public library PC to get registered. The registration process uses an application, which requires a PC with a fast Internet connection to load up. I was told by another coworker that once I'm registered that I may be able to view my payroll stubs and W2 forms online on my PC. I have done that and I can now view my payroll stubs. However, I didn't get my email & cellphone activated for updates. There I'll have to go back to the library and get those activated. Wireless from what I've been told will be faster than dial-up and is much better than satellite Internet. Satellite Internet will be just like Satellite TV (which I have), weather will affect it allot. Strong SW to NW winds blow the trees in the way and there is nothing I cannot do about it as those trees are on the neighbors property. The only other expensive option would be to buy a TV Tower (if they still make them) and mount the Sat dish 30-40 feet off the ground. The only issue with that idea, heavy wet snow collecting on the dish - who is going to clean off the dish?? NOT ME!! |
