• Income Taxes – being a sole proprietor gives the individual the option to file taxes under a separate employer identification number. The other option is to file their return normally and just fill out an IRS Schedule C to show profit or loss for the business (Smith, 2011). • Longevity/Continuity – One of the main issues of longevity in regards to sole proprietorship is that it dissolves when the owner dies so it makes it not possible to have continuity (Joseph, 2011). • Control – one of the great advantages of sole proprietorship that a person doesn’t have with a partnership or corporation is that you don’t have to answer to anyone but yourself in our decisions. You have
In this example, Owen will be the only owner and since he wants to have employees under this business form he is allowed to hire employees whereas if he was thinking of an S- Corporation he could not have any employees. Some other benefits of sole proprietorship: * Filing taxes involves a simple self-employment income tax form since all the profits and losses are pass on to the owner or sole proprietor * No high or any fees or registration requirements- since Owen is investing all his personal savings on this new business not having start-up fees is beneficial. * No payroll set-up * Net earnings of the business are not subject to corporate income taxes but are taxed only as personal income. Some of the disadvantages of sole proprietorship are: * The proprietor is subject to unlimited personal liability for the debts of the business. If Owen fails to pay his business debts, creditors will come
LIT1 Task 1 Dennis Marceaux 07/10/2015 Situation A Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) of 1993: The purpose of the FMLA is to allow employees up to 12 wks. per yr. of unpaid leave for the purpose of managing personal/family issues without negative company recourse. The employee requirements are that he/she must be a full time employee (>24hrs/wk. ), with at least 1 year of service and more than 1250 worked hours from the prior year. Companies with at least 50 employees in a 75 mile radius are required to adhere to the law.
Task B: Your work role. Bi) Describe the terms and conditions of your employment as set out in your contract of employment or employment agreement. There are several terms and conditions in my employment contract that help to protect me as a worker and state what I am entitled too. I am paid weekly which means I am paid one week in arrears. I am allowed a degree of sick pay when I produce a doctors certificate after 7 days of sickness absence.
The employee must also have worked for at least 12 months and 1250 hours during the 12 months. Under FMLA, the bill allows an unpaid, job-protected leave for up to 12 weeks in a year to care for a new child, an adopted child, or a child in foster care. The employee can also take a leave to care for an ill family member or to recover from their own serious illness. They can also use this to care for an injured service member in the family or to address issues of a family member’s deployment. The employee on leave will be allowed to have the same health insurance they had as if they weren’t on leave.
This structure is acceptable if you are the business's sole owner and you do not need to distinguish the business from yourself. Being a sole proprietor does not preclude you from using a business name that is different from your own name, however. In a sole proprietorship all profits, losses, assets and liabilities are the direct and sole responsibility of the owner. Also, the sole proprietor will pay self-employment tax on his or her income. A partnership is a type of business entity/ association in which partners (owners) share with each other the profits or losses of the business undertaking in which all have invested and is created by contract, whether orally or formally - in writing.
In an article written by David Crary for the Huffington Post, “at least 178 countries have national laws guaranteeing paid leave for new mothers, while the handful of exceptions include the U.S., Swaziland and Papua New Guinea. More than 50 nations, including most Western countries, also guarantee paid leave for new fathers.” The United States Department of Labor reports that under the Family and Medical Leave Act that “employees are eligible for up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave per year” and that, “Employees are eligible for leave if they have worked for their employer at least 12 months, at least 1,250 hours over the past 12 months, and work at a location where the company employs 50 or more employees within 75 miles. Whether an employee has worked the minimum 1,250 hours of service is determined according to FLSA principles for determining compensable hours or
Subsection 27(2)(a) stipulates that an employee is entitled to three days family responsibility leave during each cycle of twelve months of employment when his or her child is born.
