sage accounting reseller helps controllers with some tough issues.<\/strong><\/p>\n

dear abby \u2026 watch out! there\u2019s a new gal in town giving advice, and her name is kathleen weiss, sphr, of swk technologies, inc.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"1\"weiss, who heads up the hr advisory practice<\/a> at swk, works mostly with small businesses who are not large enough to have their own human resource departments. she consults one on one with companies, many of which are swk\u2019s clients, to assess their needs and provide hr knowledge, solutions and tools. swk, a sage software authorized business partner and sage gold development partner, provides strategies and solutions to its clients\u2019 information and business management needs.<\/p>\n

\u201cif a business has more than seven or eight employees, it needs hr guidance, but doesn\u2019t have the means or resources to maintain these positions in-house,\u201d says weiss. \u201cin many cases, the responsibility falls on the controller. quite frankly, this person would rather be stranded on a desert island than deal with hr issues! numerous companies assign a non-hr person to perform these duties, and in today\u2019s volatile economy, that\u2019s a dangerous decision, especially since employees are becoming more and more employment law-savvy.<\/p>\n

as a means to market the hr advisory practice and provide advice on a client-wide basis, weiss began writing her \u201cdear kathleen\u201d column last fall in the company\u2019s enewsletter, the swk insider<\/em><\/a>. weiss felt that if one company was experiencing a problem with a certain matter, other companies would also benefit from learning how to solve that problem.<\/p>\n

here\u2019s are several sample questions weiss has received from readers:<\/p>\n
