Daniel Silva delivers another spectacular thriller starring Gabriel Allon, The English Girl. When a beautiful young British woman vanishes on the island of Corsica, a prime minister's career is threatened with destruction. Allon, the wayward son of Israeli intelligence, is thrust into a game of shadows where nothing is what it seems...and where the only thing more dangerous than his enemies might be the truth.…
Silva's work has captured the imagination of millions worldwide; his number-one New York Times best-selling series, which chronicles the adventures of art-restorer and master spy Gabriel Allon, has earned the praise of listeners and reviewers everywhere. This captivating new pause-resister from the undisputed master of spy fiction is sure to thrill new and old fans alike.

"Gabriel's story takes huge strides"
Gabriel Allon is finally aging, and finally realizing his human limitations. This story moves him around the board, and promises to change his career and family life. It is a great deal to accomplish in one book. The shows, as usual, an unwilling Gabriel called into action. But somehow he appears more human in this. By teaming up with former enemies who showed themselves to be as good as he was, he improves what the author tantalizingly alludes to as perhaps his last "secret" assassination assignment. All of Silva's books are excellent. It is interesting that he is allowing his protagonist to age and perhaps mellow. It will be interesting to see how far he carries that drift in subsequent books.
As an active / outdoor guy, I love listening to audiobooks while trail running, hiking, etc.
"Best Allon book to date"
Absolutely. If you like spy adventures - Allon, and this book, are one of the best (thus far)
Gabriel Allon, of course
If you like this series, you will most likely find this to be your favorite.
"Best Gabriel Allon novel for me so far"
Well-paced, understandable (if you read/listen to spy novels, you'll know they can easily become convoluted) plot, and believable characters. Allon was his intense but in-control self, Chiara a bit more involved in this one. A few new characters were introduced, and I hope to see them again in future books. Interesting and for the most part, unpredictable. As usual, George Guidall's narration was perfect. He can read his grocery list to me and I'd probably be riveted.
"Another Superior Installment"
Of course - I'm addicted to the Gabriel Allon series.
Yes - you're so involved with the characters you've come to know through the years that you worry for their welfare and the mission.
Always Gabriel
The Maze
"Classiest Assassin"
Gabriel Allon is the best. I love every Silva book as much as the last. They are all so well written and by now I feel I am part of the team. Hopefully they keep sucking Gabriel back in.
"Not a favorite in audio"
This seems to me that it would be better reading than listening
I didn't finish it
"Fairly interesting story....."
Yes, I would have chosen a different narrator, with a British accent who was able to better impersonate the different accents (mostly Israeli, French and Russians)
The development of the characters was inadequate to like or dislike anyone. The narrator tone made it all rather boring.
His voice was tired, his intonation off, he was not able to replicate the accents and made a poor attempt at even trying.
"Wrong Narrator"
Daniel Silva has gone back to writing a good story - but oh, the narrator was so totally wrong! I found it hard to define Gabriel Allon from the 'baddie's'!! Why or why do you pick a narrator that is not 'clear', that only mumbles or takes a breath mid sentence - very annoying?
I have all of Daniel Silva's Gabriel Allon audio books and paperback books plus a lot of his other stories and I can tell you George Guidall is NOT the one to read them.
I suffered George Guidall reading The Fallen Angel but I will think twice if you use the same narrator for future Daniel Silva books!
"another good book by Daniel Silva"
I discovered Daniel Silva about a year ago and promptly read everything that was available unabridged. So, I'm a fan!
I enjoyed what was new in this book, which was a 'buddy' aspect with a new character (love/hate relationship) and the more up-to-date concerns on the world stage. I found some of the old aspects not boring at all, as it gave me that cozy feeling of familiarity and, of course, allows a new reader to have enough background without reading all the books. The narrator, George Guidall is marvellous. He can say "Let's go outside" and it resonates with layers of meaning.
To me the mark of a good writer is that you enjoy hearing the words no matter what the topic because they are so rich and entertaining. Daniel Silva definitely has that for me. I don't enjoy the violent parts, but for me, they are little enough in his writing that it's manageable. I do believe in the axiom that "People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf". That certainly sums up Gabriel Allon. What is most important to me is that there is a moral centre in a book and there always is with Daniel Silva. Looking forward to Summer 2014 for the next one!
What a great read. I always look forward to Daniel Silva's books and this one met the mark. Once again Gabriel Allon is hired to do what no one else can do and he does it with a self-confidence that none of us would have. And as usual, the unique twists and turns within the story keep the reader on the edge of their seat. I have to say that there were so many things that happened that I did not expect, but then I've gotten to where I expect the unexpected with Silva's books. I started this book and went through it at a pretty quick pace, simply because of the entertaining writing. The narrator did an excellent job and listening to him was like listening to an old friend. Always love Daniel Silva's books and I can't wait for the next one.
"Another excellent Gabirel Allon story"
I am a big fan of Daniel Silva's books. They are a little more quirky than the average spy novel. The main character is not some all-action hero like Mitch Rapp in the Vince Flynn books (although I am a great fan of these stories too). He is a more complex, rounded character but with his own personal demons.
The story itself is plausible, although some may think it a little far-fetched. I won't reveal any spoilers, but will say that it is a gripping plot with a number of unexpected twists to it.
The narration is good and up to the usual standards of George Guidell, who remains one of my top narrators.
Highly recommended.
"Good spy audio-book"
Very good audi-book for travels.
The rythem of this story keeps you awake for the entire story.
Surely i will letten to another of Daniel Silva audio-books.

Breathtaking Proof 1890 Quarter Eagle Rarity With Ultra Cameo Contrast1890 $2 1/2 PR64 Ultra Cameo NGC. As a date, the 1890 is immensely popular among gold specialists as only 8,813 pieces were produced. The proof variant of this issue, of which only 93 pieces were originally struck, is a noteworthy rarity with just 40-42 coins believed extant. Some of the examples that have been "lost" may not have even left the Mint, instead being melted as unsold at year's end. A fortunate survivor, the present near-Gem displays extraordinary eye appeal even for the PR64 level of preservation. The cameo contrast is bold and unmistakable: the thickly frosted, orange-gold devices rise powerfully above glassy, coal-black fields. Every feature is fully defined, and there are expectantly few handling marks for the designated grade. This is the first proof 1890 Quarter Eagle with an Ultra Cameo designation that we have offered.

Hello all!
First of all, I posted another trip report on my blog, Finding My Inner Bombshell! Please check it out (and feel free to comment on there if you'd like!).
Getting In My Disneyland Fix (or One Last Bit Of Christmas Time In The New Year) | Finding My Inner Bombshell
I also wanted to give a full review of my first experience with DAS. I've seen some reviews when it started, but I thought maybe a new review was in order.
First, I will admit that I was spoiled with the GAC. Yes, I needed it, but I also got very used to being able to ride whatever I wanted to without planning. Sometimes I had very long waits (the GAC Space Mountain line was almost always over an hour), but I was happy to be sitting down while waiting.
I was very nervous to use the DAS. I had read plenty of reviews that were horrible and said that it ruined their Disneyland experience. For me, the DAS was amazing! I wasn't able to go from ride to ride as freely as I used to, but by using the DAS, FastPass, and riding rides with no lines (like the Monorail and Railroad), my group was able to do 8 rides in 6 hours (we also had a sit down lunch).
I really do prefer the DAS. The lines once it was my turn to ride were almost gone (Space Mountain was 5 minutes). I think some of the help was with FastPass times being enforced especially with RSR. I did do a lot of planning while I was there, but it wasn't anything worse than what everyone else has to do.
I like that there are photos on the DAS so people can't sell them (I was offered $500 once for my GAC). I even liked having to check in with Guest Services to get the new ride time. They were able to help me plan what rides would be good options for me while I was waiting for my time (or what time FastPasses were for so we could decide if we would use FastPass or DAS).
I'm sure that a lot of the ease I experience was because I waited a few months after the start of the program to go to the parks. But as a first time DAS user I have to say that I think that I will continue to have a great time in the parks in the future without worrying about being in pain quickly.
If any of you have questions about DAS for me, feel free to message me on here or comment on my blog. I'm more that happy to help anyone else figure it out.

Milford Track in Fiordland
The Milford Track is considered by many to be one of the finest walks in the world. The track spans 60 kilometres over hills, rivers and plains and gives the best views of Fiordland that no vehicle can.
You need to get a licence before you walk the Milford Track in summer and must be obtained from the NZ park authorities at least a few months in advance. The track is very popular and there is a quote on the number of people who can walk per day for the summer.
There are cabins along the way and you are allowed to walk a specific number of kilometres per day and spend the nights in the designated cabins. Dorm beds.
It is the rarest penguin in the world, with only 3,000 known breeding pairs. A protected species, the Fiordland crested penguin is found only in Westland, Fiordland, and Stewart Island.

Goood idea. I *believe* Outlook sorts the mailboxes alphabetically?
Ability to arrange alphabetically "Clients to include" under Vault
Created: 14 Jul 2011 • Updated: 27 Sep 2011 | 3 comments
Status: In Review
Under Vault Profile/Clients/Change/ arrange "Clients to include" alphabetically. Available clients are in alphbetical order but not Clients to include. This would make it extremely easy to check whether a client is in the Clients to include.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Teacher-astronaut Barbara Morgan transformed the space shuttle and space station into a classroom Tuesday for her first education session from orbit, fulfilling the legacy of Christa McAuliffe with joy and also some sadness.'I've thought about Christa and the Challenger crew just about every day since 20-plus years ago,' Morgan said in a series of interviews right before class got under way. 'I hope that they know that they are here with us in our hearts.' Morgan, 55, who was McAuliffe's backup for the doomed 1986 flight, got her first opportunity to talk with schoolchildren late Tuesday afternoon, almost halfway through her two-week mission. The youngsters were assembled at the Discovery Center of Idaho in Boise, less than 100 miles from the elementary school where Morgan taught before becoming an astronaut. Morgan's two sons, now teenagers, attended inventors' camp there years ago. One child wanted to know about exercising in space. In response, Morgan lifted the two large men floating alongside her, one in each hand, and pretended to be straining. Another youngster wanted to see a demonstration of drinking in space. Morgan and her colleagues obliged by squeezing bubbles from a straw in a drink pouch and swallowing the red blobs, which floated everywhere. The four astronauts also used pingpong balls and a softball for props. Morgan was asked how being a teacher compared to being an astronaut. 'Astronauts and teachers actually do the same thing,' she answered. 'We explore, we discover and we share. And the great thing about being a teacher is you get to do that with students, and the great thing about being an astronaut is you get to do it in space, and those are absolutely wonderful jobs.' The 25-minute question-and-answer session was a welcome diversion for NASA, which found itself trying to explain - again - why foam insulation was still falling off shuttle fuel tanks more than four years after the Columbia disaster.

Effective October 29, 2003, PalmSource stock will begin trading on the NASDAQ stock market under the ticker symbol: PSRC. In addition to the spin-off, the stockholders approved the acquisition of Handspring by Palm, Inc. That new combined company has been renamed palmOne, Inc. The PALM and HAND ticker symbols will cease to trade. palmOne's stock will trade on the NASDAQ stock market under the ticker symbol: PLMO.

The company benefits from a loyal base of customers, an established Palm OS platform across multiple devices and a large, diverse community of third-party developers," said Eric Benhamou, chairman of PalmSource, Inc. "Today's stockholder vote approving the spin out brings enormous promise for the mobile device and smartphone markets, which will continue growing in quality and excellence as PalmSource and palmOne sharpen focus in their respective businesses."

In addition, PalmSource markets and sells Palm OS software titles for Palm Powered devices through its new online store at PalmSource.com.

Le Méridien Grand Hotel Nuremberg | New Museum State Museum for Art and Design
The New Museum is concrete evidence that Nuremberg has not only traditional but also fascinatingly modern ideas up its sleeve! The breathtaking exterior architecture of the New Museum, the State Museum for Art and Design in Nuremberg, suggests much about what you can expect to find inside. The colossally imposing curved glass façade, an impressive part of the modern museum architecture of the Berlin architect Volker Staab, juxtaposed directly against the adjacent medieval city wall in the heart of Nuremberg makes the square in front of the museum, the Klarissenplatz, a striking fusion of architectural styles.
The interplay of two mutually complementary poles is also reflected in the spacious collection and exhibition rooms of the New Museum. Here both old and new architecture as well as art and design in a gallery space of ca. 3,000 m2. Two collections of fine and applied arts have been brought together in the New Museum – this balanced presentation of contemporary art and design in one museum is rather unique.
The art collection of the New Museum offers many insights into the development of art since the 1960s. The art movements range from Zero, Fluxus and Conceptual Art to the present, where art can less than ever be pigeon-holed by names and stylistic terms, while at the same time artists are employing a huge variety of media. Painting and sculpture are found side by side with photography, video art and installations. The art collection originated from the holdings of the international contemporary art collection of the city of Nuremberg, which was initiated in 1967. In the meantime it has been augmented by extensive new museum acquisitions as well as by various private foundations and objects on loan.
The New Museum has a cooperation with the Neue Sammlung (New Collection) – The International Design Museum Munic. The New Collection, consisting of 75,000 objects from the areas of industrial design, graphic design and decorative arts is today one of the world's leading museums for 20th century applied art. Select examples of international design from the holdings of the New Collection from 1945 until the present are displayed in the New Museum.
Art and design are juxtaposed in the collection rooms in a very close
fashion to reveal both the differences as well as the parallel developments in
the two areas. Thus, since the beginning of 2008 visitors can stroll through
rooms for art alternating with rooms for design, each dedicated to a certain
topic, on both levels of the collection. Autonomous exhibitions of art and
design are also frequently presented along with interdisciplinary trends. The
most important tasks of the New Museum are to encourage interest and convey
knowledge and understanding, openness and enthusiasm for contemporary art and
design. The house thus offers a wide range of tours, is strongly involved in
organizing programs for children and young people, and rounds this off with
lectures and events. A diversity of cultural activities, such as film nights on
the Klarissenplatz or contemporary music concerts also draw other disciplines
into the museum and transport the museum's art outside. Architecture and
contents make the New Museum a venue of surprises, openness and inspiration
that no visitor to Nuremberg should miss!

This past STORMY weekend I went to the most precious wedding. The sweet couple had big dreams of getting married by the lake here in Dallas, but unfortunately the rain did not let that happen. They didn't let that damper their day. The two made their vows indoors with all their family and friends by their side… its so nice to see love. Stumbling around today, I found this "wedding" photo montage that stole my heart. How cute are they?
They met in college as friends. Amanda tried to strategically choose her seat according to where Nate sat and hoped they'd strike up long, meaningful, and deep conversations in a casual way so it didn't look like she was trying as hard as she was. But Nate was oblivious to her seat picking and simply saw Amanda as the sweet girl who made him smile.
The semester ended and though they were both English majors, Nate and Amanda didn't see each other much until she crossed his mind a couple months later. Again and again. Nate took a chance and sent her a message through Facebook and what he didn't see at the time was Amanda's reaction to his message. OH MY GOODNESS THE CUTE GUY FROM MY ENGLISH CLASS MAY OR MAY NOT BE HITTING ON ME!!!
That was the start of their whirlwind college romance which later led to a wedding and starting a life together. Much has changed since their English class days (they got a cute house, started a photography business, and adopted an adorable dog), but they decided to revive wedding memories for the sake of photos.
Isn't her bouquet by Jesi Haack so fun?!
I love the idea of doing "wedding" photos after the wedding.. especially if you had a not so pretty wedding day! Day After sessions are perfect if you didn't get enough portraits on your wedding day, or maybe you weren't happy with you wedding photos. This is a great chance to put back on your wedding attire and get some great photos of the two of you – and have some fun with it! I love that Amanda and Nate were inspiring by their child like love of camping. Gorgeous photos by Jasmine Star, styling and a pretty bouquet by Jesi Haack and makeup by Melina Ruiz.
And love this great marriage advice from the newlyweds…
"Take time to be present together. As a couple that works from home together, this is especially important for us to remember. We can't just say we're going to have a date night and then proceed to sit on the couch working from our laptops as a movie plays…we need to completely set things aside and be totally present with one another. I think it's good to frequently ask each other how you are doing. It's a simple question, but sometimes when you ask you find out that you had no clue your partner was even feeling a certain way. As cheesy as it sounds, make time to snuggle. 5 minutes of daily snuggling should be mandatory! Don't stop being silly with one another…ever. Laughter is so important. And lastly, always remember how lucky you are that you got to marry your best friend. (These last 2 sentences are Nate's contribution. He's a man of few words…but a few heart-melting words)."
Can you believe Amanda made her own dress??! Gorgeous…
And you can see more photos from this shoot on Jasmine's Blog today!

Systems are provided for administering employee funds and transactions utilizing a personal financial service provider system which allows comprehensive administration of employee accounts. A system for administering employee funds includes a worksite employer having a number of employees associated therewith; at least one access point configured to interface with the employees; and a personal financial service provider configured to communicate with the worksite employer and the access points, the personal financial service provider including a data center configured to store financial data associated with employees, wherein the personal financial service provider is configured to receive funds directly from the worksite employer and to disburse the funds to third parties prior to allowing the employee to disburse the funds.
1. A system for administering employee funds, said system comprising:
a personal financial service provider configured to communicate with a worksite employer and an access point over a network, wherein said access point is configured to interface with an employee, said employee associated with said worksite employer having an obligation to remit said employee funds to said employee, said personal financial service provider including a data center configured to store financial data associated with said employee and configured to calculate a payroll disbursement, wherein said personal financial service provider is configured to electronically receive said employee funds directly from said worksite employer based on said calculated payroll disbursement and configured to electronically disburse an after tax portion of said employee funds to a third party as payment for at least one of a good and service prior to allowing said employee to disburse remaining said employee funds via said access point;
said personal financial service provider configured to electronically receive a fee from said worksite employer, wherein said fee is responsive to said disbursal of said employee funds;
said personal financial service provider configured to interface with said employee to provide at least one of: (a) direct purchase of items from at least one of said third parties, (b) direct purchase of travel services, and (c) direct purchase of investment instruments from at least one of said third parties;

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/151,245, filed Aug. 27, 1999, hereby incorporated by reference.
1. Technical Field
The present invention relates, generally, to methods of administering employee funds and transactions and, more particularly, to a personal financial service provider system which allows comprehensive administration of employee accounts.
2. Background
Although credit unions, banks, and the like often provide members with loan services and the ability to schedule automated payments—sometimes with on-line access—the traditional credit union does not have access to the funds prior to being deposited in the member's credit/savings account, and is therefore limited with respect to the services it can ultimately provide. As a result, such banks and credit units are unsatisfactory to a number of users. For example, there remains a large group of "self-banked" individuals who use non-traditional banking outlets for managing funds, i.e., check-cashing facilities and the like. In addition, many white-collar workers desire more sophisticated methods for accessing and investing their funds, and many blue-collar workers desire access to credit facilities with lower costs.
In order to simplify management of certain employee-related functions, many employers are turning to Professional Employer Organizations (PEO). In general, a PEO is a company that provides integrated business services designed to cost-effectively manage critical human resource responsibilities and employer risks for its clients. PEOs deliver these services by establishing and maintaining an employer relationship with employees assigned to their clients by contractually assuming substantial employer rights, responsibilities, and risks.
Traditional PEOs receive gross payroll (and fees) from the worksite employer and, after paying taxes, withholding, and the like, provide the net payroll amount to the worksite employer's employees. Known PEO systems, while providing useful services to its contracting employers, have nevertheless failed to address the needs of the employees with which it interfaces.
Systems are therefore needed for overcoming the limitations of the prior art. More particularly, a system is needed which can provide certain services to worksite employers while leveraging its position vis-a-vis the employer to provide key financial services desired by those employees.
The present invention provides systems and methods which overcome the shortcomings of the prior art. In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, methods are provided for administering employee funds and transactions utilizing a personal financial service provider system which allows comprehensive administration of employee accounts.
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a system for administering employee funds includes a worksite employer having at least one employee associated therewith; at least one access point configured to interface with said at least one employee; and a personal financial service provider configured to communicate with said worksite employer and said at least one access point, said personal financial service provider including a data center configured to store financial data associated with said at least one employee, wherein said personal financial service provider is configured to receive funds directly from said worksite employer and to disburse said funds to third parties prior to allowing said at least one employee to disburse said funds through said access point.
The subject invention will hereinafter be described in conjunction with the appended drawing figures, wherein like numerals denote like elements, and:
Systems and methods in accordance with various aspects of the present invention provide for efficient management of employee funds through the use of a Personal Financial Service Provider (PFSP). As a preliminary matter, the present invention may be described herein in terms of functional block components and various processing steps. It should be appreciated that such functional blocks may be realized by any number of hardware and/or software components configured to perform the specified functions. In addition, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention may be practiced in any number of data communication contexts and that the various systems described herein are merely exemplary applications for various aspects of the invention. Further, it should be noted that the present invention may employ any number of conventional techniques for data transmission, training, signal processing and conditioning, and the like. Such general techniques that are known to those skilled in the art are not described in detail herein.
Referring now to the conceptual block diagram shown in
For clarity, only one worksite employer 104 is shown in
One or more third parties 112 may interface with employees 108 and/or PFSP 102 via communication channels 140 and 142, respectively. In this regard, communication channels 110, 140 and 142 may consist of any convenient method of communicating information, e.g., the Internet, a Local Area Network (LAN), a Virtual Private Network (VPN), an intranet connection, an extranet connection, a telephone line, or the like. These communication channels may be wireless, hard-wired, or a combination thereof, and may employ any known or future communication protocol.
Third parties 112 might include a variety of vendors of goods and services 130, loan providers 132, travel services 134, on-line brokerages 136, and the like. The ways in which employees 108 and PFSP 102 might interact with third parties 112 will be described in further detail below; however, in general, PFSP 102 is configured to facilitate convenient payment (via debit or credit) of goods and services provided by third parties 112 as may be sought by employees 108.
In a preferred embodiment, PFSP 102 provides certain unique financial services which augment those services supplied by a conventional bank, combined with the characteristics of what is often referred to as a Professional Employer Organization (PEO). As mentioned above, a PEO is a company that provides integrated business services designed to cost-effectively manage critical human resource responsibilities and employer risks for its clients. PEOs deliver these services by establishing and maintaining an employer relationship with employees 108 assigned to their clients (i.e., worksite employer 104) by contractually assuming substantial employer rights, responsibilities, and risks. Under this contractual arrangement, employment responsibilities are shared or allocated between the PEO and the client, while allowing the client to retain essential management control over the end-product of the work performed by the employees. The PEO assumes responsibility for a wide range of employer responsibilities and risks, pays and reports wages and employment taxes out of its own accounts, and retains rights of direction and control of the employees.
Thus, the client simply writes one check per pay period to cover payroll, taxes, benefits, and administration fees, and the PEO does the rest. The PEO handles unemployment and workers' compensation insurance, as well as any associated claims or audits. The PEO pays the state and federal payroll taxes, processes all of the payroll, and offers employee benefits.
In a preferred embodiment, the client retains all day-to-day management of their work force, and all hiring, training and supervision decisions are retained by the client. Clients simply write one check per pay period. It covers the cost of payroll, workers' compensation and payroll taxes. Administrative workload is reduced significantly, providing the client with more time to focus its resources on more profitable activities.
Thus, in accordance with its PEO aspect, PFSP 102 preferably provides one or more of the following services: Preparation and delivery of payroll checks and any related reports; Preparation and filing of all quarterly and annual federal, state and local tax reports; Preparation of year end W-2 forms; Administration of all direct deposit payroll checks; Administration of any wage garnishments or child support payments; Administration of all payroll deductions; Administration of any employment verification needs; Administration and implementation of all employee tax reporting forms (W-2, A-4, I-9)
In addition, PFSP 102 preferably maintains proper safety and risk management procedures for worksite employer 102, i.e.: Comprehensive safety programs and manuals; Aggressive OSHA compliance programs and inspections to maintain OSHA Guidelines; Reviews of medical billings for all Workers Compensation claims; Back to work programs for injured employees; Drug free workplace programs; Continuous reviews of current government procedures; Communication regarding hazards programs; Prevention programs relating to injury and illness; Emergency workplace planning and procedures; On-site employee safety programs, training and reviews; Accident investigations; Insurance certification processing.
PFSP 102 also preferably provides various employee benefits programs, such as Administration of Group Health Insurance programs; Administration of any voluntary insurance or benefits programs (term life, disability, dental insurances); Administration of 401 k plans; Credit Union membership; Administration of section 125 Cafeteria Plan; Administration and compliance of COBRA; Claims management and insurance follow-up; Information access to benefits coordinators; Insurance company regulation and reporting maintenance according to all local, state and federal guidelines and laws.
The foregoing describes an exemplary list of services provided by PFSP 102 in accordance with its PER aspect. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that PFSP 102 may provide additional services not listed here or may provide only a subset of these services. For more information regarding PEOs, see, e.g., www.dhr.net. Having thus described one aspect of PFSP 102, the funds management component of the present invention will now be described.
Referring now to
All 940 and 941 taxes are preferably payed on a daily basis. All employee taxes such as FICA, FUTA, SUTA, and the like are also paid (arrow 120). The net check amounts for employees 108 are then deposited in corresponding employee accounts 116 (step 206), where they can be accessed by the employees 108, preferably 24 hours a day (Step 210). The funds are effectively deposited into a "virtual checking account" providing debit function, etc.
PFSP 102 provides for automatic bill payment, or any other type of scheduled payment, depending upon a schedule determined by employee 108. The funds are automatically withdrawn from employee account 116 and disbursed to the corresponding party (arrow 122), which might in fact be one of the third parties 112 (Step 208).
The employee 108 may also purchase goods and service on-line, and pay for those services through a properly configured web site link used in connection with the particular third party 112. The goods may be paid for using a debit transaction, or may be purchased using a pre-approved line of credit determined by PFSP 102.
Loan services (132) can be provided in a timelier matter. As PFSP 102 has information regarding the entire financial profile of employee 108, PFSP can provide for quicker verification. Furthermore, as PFSP 102 is supplied with funds directly from worksite employer 104 (i.e., before Employee 108 can disposition the funds), PFSP 102 is virtually assured payment. With the risk of default thus reduced, PFSP 102 can provide loans, mortgages, credit cards, etc., at very low financing rates.
It will be appreciated that PFSP 102 includes many of the functions of a traditional bank. That is, PFSP 102 keeps track of funds, provides banking services, disperses funds, offers a credit facility, and the like. A bank in accordance with the present invention, however, is available on-line 24 hours a day, and can be configured in accordance with the desired direct payments, prior pre-directs, etc.
As PFSP 102 will typically be associated with a number of different worksite employer's 104, PFSP 102 may allow employees 108 to search for employment with the worksite employers subscribing to PFSP 102. For example, PFSP 102 may have an employment search web site associated therewith which allows job searching capabilities, on-line resumes, and other functionality conventionally associated with job search sites (see, e.g., www.monster.com).
In addition to the "self directed model" described above, the employee may choose to use a "prior pre-direct" model to automatically divert funds from the funds supplied by PFSP 102. Thus, the employee may arrange payment with a vendor of goods and services via a prior pre-direct diversion of funds.
Point-of-sale (POS) and/or Automated Teller Machines (ATM) 150 may also be configured to communicate with PFSP. For example, an employee buying groceries may enter a PIN number or other identification code into a POS terminal, or may present unique biometric data (e.g., fingerprint, retina scan, or the like), such that PFSP 102 authorizes the payment based upon available funds or credit.
A variety of hardware and software platforms may be used to implement the present invention. For example, PFSP may employ Sun hardware, Windows NT servers, and Oracle back-end database systems. These systems may be co-located within a single site, or may distributed over the network at any number of locations.
Employees 108 may interface with PFSP 102 through a variety of means. In a preferred embodiment, PFSP 102 includes one or more web sites configured to provide the employee with an easy-to-use and intuitive graphical user interface. For example, a Web portal design may be employed as shown in
Employees 108 may access PFSP through access point 152, including, for example, personal computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), stand-alone kiosks, and the like. Furthermore, the present invention may be performed in the context of protocols other than HTML, e.g., Wireless Application Protocol (WAP).
Referring now to
More particularly, referring now to
The system preferably allows the user to create standard and custom reports which display various information regarding past account activity. For example, as shown in
It will be appreciated that the illustrated Web interface presents only one possible method of managing the user's (employee's) accounts. Those skilled in the art will realize that the present invention is not so limited, and that a variety of other user interfaces may be employed.
The interface may include additional links to information and preferences which the employee may use to configure and receive information about his accounts. For example, links to configure prior pre-directs, direct payments, and links to various goods and services available on-line, e.g., travel services, brokerage services, loan services, on-line vendors, and employment services.
It should be understood that the exemplary process described may include more or less steps or may be performed in the context of a larger processing scheme. Furthermore, the various flowcharts presented in the drawing figures are not to be construed as limiting the order in which the individual process steps may be performed. Although the invention has been described herein in conjunction with the appended drawings, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the scope of the invention is not so limited. Modifications in the selection, design, and arrangement of the various components and steps discussed herein may be made without departing from the scope of the claimed invention.
