How To Remove A LinkedIn Connection

by

linkedin remove connection

Have you ever accepted a LinkedIn connection only to later be sorry? Usually the problem is that your connection mistakes social media connection acceptance as an open invitation to sell you on an endless variety of business schemes.

Luckily there’s a way to break this connection and stop the sales pitches. Best of all your connection is never notified that you’ve disconnected.

How To Filter Your LinkedIn Feed To Remove Connection Messages

by

I was staring at all the “Billy Bob is now connected to Suzy Smiley” notifications in my main LinkedIn feed and thinking how incredibly dumb it is that I would want to see those connections.

To me endless “connected to” messages are of fairly limited value though I guess if you’re playing the power networking game you may want to waste time browsing through that info.

Instead I thought to myself – I wonder if you can shut this useless information off — and just see the status updates that contacts post.

Well you can — and surprise it’s very easy.

Simply click on the “All Updates” and select “Customize” (see image above).

Then select which updates you wish to view in your LinkedIn feed.

Problem solved.

Use LinkedIn Group Announcements As Your Company’s Email Newsletter

by

Did you know that administrators of LinkedIn Groups can send group announcements to all members of their group who’ve not opted out of those announcements (they’re turned on by default so most members receive them).

These announcements can be sent up to once per week and are completely free as part of your participation in LinkedIn as a group administrator. You can’t send them in any format other than plain text though there does not appear to be any restriction on what you can insert to the mailing – including links to your own web site outside of the LinkedIn group.

Access the feature from the group’s manage menu. And for even more reach consider opening up your LinkedIn Group to the public so that links you may share can be browsed even by non-group members.

How To Process Payroll Before W2’s Are Printed Within Sage ERP MAS 90 or MAS 200

by

This year the rates have changed for the 2011 FICA however the wage limits remained stable. This has caused a few people over on the MAS 90 LinkedIn group to question the correct procedure for printing W2 forms.

As you may be aware one of the hidden “gotcha’s” of the Payroll processing is that when you print W2 forms in Sage ERP MAS 90 or MAS 200 that the CURRENT FICA/Medicare limits are used to establish the maximum wages subject to each tax which prints on the W2 form.

Since tax tables are shared globally across all your Sage ERP MAS 90 and MAS 200 companies – simply copying the current company code to a backup isn’t enough. You also must be aware of what the tax limits are for at least FICA and Medicare because those limits can impact W2 printing for those exceeding them.

If the FICA or MEDICARE limits are changing in the next year — AND you install the tax tables BEFORE printing the last year’s W2 forms then you run the risk of the W2 form (for those exceeding FICA and/or Medicare) printing the maximum wage limit that’s included in your next year tax table instead of the limits for the year just passed.

Regina Gutcher, a Sage Customer Support Specialist, provided the following guidance on this LinkedIn discussion:

The recommended procedure if you need to run a 2011 payroll before printing 2010 W-2s is:

1. Back up all Payroll data.
2. Create a new company code in Company Maintenance. Copy Company to copy P/R, C/I and G/L (and Job Cost, if integrated).
3.. Run year-end for the original company.
4. Install the updated 2011 tax tables.
5.. Process payroll for the original company for the current year.
6.. Before printing the W-2s, install last year’s tax tables(2010) and access the Copy Company.
7. Reinstall the updated tax tables when finished.

Keep in mind that FICA is not the only limit we need to be concerned about when printing W-2s. For some states, the limits for State Disability or State Unemployment may also need to be printed on the W-2.
