Blog thoughts and ideas

[Kriskat30]

I am going to be starting a blog on our YouTube channel with the express intent to share upcoming information, ideas and thoughts that I have gathered through speaking with members of DMS. This is the place for you to put any ideas that you would like to hear about on this blog. Feel free to list them below. All ideas will be considered, so 3..2..1. Go!

From the board meeting concerning the hiring of a Stewart -care should be taken that they do not end up being considered a common law employee. Info is on the IRS website such as follows:

My thought on "an employee" is to hire for the skill needed and break it into multiple parts.

Shop stewart, takes care of the shop area for 10 hours a week.

Office Manager, shuffles paperwork issues for 10 hours a week.

Etc.

The other part is they work for the members through the BOD not directly. This is to keep a clear chain of command. This immediately stops the "You need to sweep this area." Or "Change my oil." events.

Reality. We will not find one individual with ALL the skills needed. Not happening.

Maybe the goal might be DMS sets up opportunities for pay for members. Defined goals. Tightly controlled. Results get payment. Non results = non payment.

It seems that we do have a need for someone to help with paper work.
It is likely not a full time job, but it might be great for someone that is
retired on near retirement that doesn t really want a full time job

I have a friend who was a main frame programmer that did not choose
to move to PCs, She had enjoyed doing various contract jobs
Whe is currently working about 3 days a week, helping a business owner
with everything from making sure his expenses are paid and listed to adding item
to his website, to handling customer emails to even pulling some orders,
She does not get paid a lot, but she enjoys the variety of work and the flexibility
of her hours, She doesn t go in early and she stays later, And it is contract only

One thing I would suggest is projects where varius areas work
together, like the loom project
