    Business Ethics 101
    Sometimes life provides us with character-defining opportunities that remain with us forever. If we're lucky, that is. These events, which occur in both our professional and our personal lives, are significant not for their particulars, but for what they say about who we are and who we are not. It is who we become as a result of these experiences-not the experiences themselves-that is most important. This is because these "choice points" articulate our values, clarify our character, and define our integrity.I had one such experience many years ago when I first relocated to Seattle. It's an experience that has stayed with me because it was so profound and because, to this day, I am still both humbled and humiliated by it. I had had business cards printed, and there was an error. I called the owner of the print shop and she agreed to reprint them right away. But I never returned to the printer. My finances were very tight and I'd decided it was "better" to distribute the "bad" ones rather than pay the several hundred dollars I owed her for the new version.My tainted integrity nagged at me for more than a year before I finally phoned the woman to apologize. I never got that far. Oh, she remembered me all right. So clearly, in fact, that during our brief conversation she recounted the entire or

    Maintenance/material acquisition personnel are best paid by firms that manufacture aerospace & aircraft products, stone/clay/concrete/glass products, and chemical & allied products. This group of employees are worst paid by manufacturers of apparel & textile mill products, building materials, furniture & wood products, and heating/air conditioning/refrigeration products.

    Managerial and supervisory personnel in plant/manufacturing/production functions receive the highest median incomes when employed by firms producing stone/clay/concrete/glass products, measuring & controlling devices, and food/beverage products, and the lowest median incomes when employed by companies producing primary ferrous metals, computer & allied products, and furniture & wood products.

    Quality assurance/control, regulatory affairs, and documentation employees are paid best by producers of measuring & controlling devices, aerospace & aircraft products, and primary ferrous metals. They are paid least by manufacturers of apparel & other textile products, rubber/plastic products, medical/engineering/scientific equipment, and circuit board products.

    Production employees in firms of 250 employees or more fare best among producers of chemical & allied products, paper & allied products, fabricated metal products, and measuring & controlling devices, and worst among manufacturers of furniture & wood products, apparel & textile mill products, and building materials. Production employees in firms of under 250 employees fare best in firms which product stone/clay/concrete/glass products, machinery & heavy equipment, chemicals & allied products, and fabricated metal products, and worst among manufacturers of apparel & textile mill products, circuit board products, and communications equipme

    How to Cut Your Workload in Half
    You want your registration forms connected with your merchant account, which is connected to your database, which has easy reporting capabilities. This is extremely important because the system you are using may be only partially automated.For instance, your system might take online registrations that are then emailed to you, but never put in a database. So, you still have to manually key in the registrant's information and build your database by hand. In other cases, you may have to manually process payments. Or, your system might capture a registrant's information and put it into a database. But to get reports you have to go ask the programmers to write reports to capture the information you need. You might have to wait 24 hours... 48 hours... or most likely longer.These are all consequences (or "side effects") of using a system that is only partially automated. It is not necessary or worth it to settle for a system like this.When choosing your system, make sure it is fully automated and fully integrated. This will give you the greatest ease of use and satisfaction over the long haul.Some example of complete integration: Self-service changes & cancellations – No more unnecessary phone calls. Save time be letting your registrants make changes and ca
    The composite highest-income practitioner reported in this field (salary plus cash bonus and/or cash profit-sharing) is the President "B" of a manufacturing firm (defined as a chief executive officer who has little or no financial interest in the firm). The firm manufactures automotive parts/accessories, food/beverage/tobacco products, chemical & allied products, or machinery & heavy equipment; has 1,000 or more employees; has a total annual revenue of $100,000,000 or more; and is headquartered in or near Denver/Colorado Springs, Houston, Memphis, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Modesto/Stockton, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Indianapolis, Boston, New York City, or Dayton, or outside a metropolitan area studied in Idaho. However, while the median President "B' has a total annual income of $214,966, the highest-income individuals reported are Presidents "A" (having a financial interest in the firm) and make well over $30,000,000.

    Far toward the other end of the income spectrum, Assemblers "D" have a median income of $20,418. Sometimes earning under $14,600, the lowest-paid employees in this group are employed by firms that manufacture building materials; have $1 million to $4.99 million in total annual revenue; have 5,000 to 9,999 employees; and are located in or near Greensboro/Winston-Salem, Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, Dallas/Ft. Worth, or Charlotte, or outside the metropolitan areas studied in Texas, North Carolina, or Florida.

    These composites represent the briefest possible "boil-down" of the voluminous data provided regarding current salaries and cash bonuses and/or profit sharing, and numerous demographic variables provided by 343 firms on over 54,000 managerial, supervisory, sales, engineering, technical, clerical, and blue-collar employees in 187 benchmark jobs which resulted in the eight-volume survey report, Compensation in Manufacturing, 24th Edition - 2004, sponsored by the National Association of Manufacturers.

    Copies of the entire eight-volume report are available for $1,250.00 from Abbott, Langer & Associates, Inc., Dept. ART, 548 First St., Crete, IL 60417 (telephone 708/672-4200; fax 708/672-4674; www.abbott-langer.com) Also available is Compensation in Smaller Manufacturing Firms (under 250 employees) for $595.00. Each volume of both reports may be purchased separately. Also available is findpay-MFG04 (a computer program which permits the user to determine pay levels of each survey job on the basis of two or more variables simultaneously).

    It would be an exercise in futility to attempt more than a superficial overview of the survey results in this summary. However, some overall data regarding compensation can be presented herein. In addition to the incomes of the benchmark jobs already discussed, the median total cash compensation nationally of some of the other jobs included in the survey report is:

    The income relationships reported above may be distorted slightly, since some of these benchmark jobs were reported more frequently in organizations of one size, while other benchmark jobs were reported more frequently by larger or smaller organizations. This may also be true for product manufactured, geographic location, and supervisory/managerial responsibility. This possible defect is corrected in the complete survey report by reporting income for each benchmark job overall and with "break-outs" by each demographic variable.

    Medical Billing - GX2 Record
    We're almost to the end of our review of oxygen billing for medical billing practices. So far, we have covered the GX0 record and the GX1 record for NSF 3.01 specifications. In this installment, we're going to cover the GX2 record, which is facility information.Usually facility information is covered in the E records of a claim. So why do we have to include facility information in a CMN for oxygen billing? The reason is because of the nature of oxygen therapy. Oxygen therapy is strictly regulated because, quite honestly, working with oxygen can be very dangerous. The number of regulations for working with oxygen are enough to choke a horse. That's why there is all this red tape when submitting claims. Therefor, facility information is not only required in the E records but also in the GX2 record for any oxygen claim. In this installment we cover all the fields of the GX2 record.GX2 field 1, positions 1 - 3, is the record type. This must be filled in with GX2. This record must follow the GX0 and GX1 records in that order or the claim will be denied.GX2 field 2, positions 4 - 5, is the sequence number. Because there can be as many as 99 CMNs in a claim file, a sequence number is required for each one. The GX2 records are transmitted as GX2-01, GX2-02 and so on. These cann

    Advantages of Online Textile Trading
    Online Textile Trading is a niche market which sooner or later would catch up with the www pace. Since most of the textile trading involve people buying bulk products spanning vast geographical areas. People just dismiss the concept of textile trading online simply because of the prevailing fraudulent techniques. Since the advent of many simpler advertising techniques anyone and everyone are learning the art of dollar making through sheer advertising and Blogging.However I feel that we need not dismiss the internet medium of www as just any other way of doing business. You know frauds are everywhere though I must sincerely admit that its happening more through the www medium.
