TYPICAL STAFF BENEFITS TO BE OFFERED BY THE “HOLDING BASE” - UPDATED 9/8 & 9/11/2015


Introduction:
Those who will be employed by the Proprietorship are being considered as professionals deserving of the type of “awards” that are made available to staff, this post will address the benefits to be offered that will instrumental in the personal and professional lives of many of these individuals, in return for their years of continuous, merit worthy service. Please follow below for details regarding this discussion.

Here are the Background Issues of Interest:
For those offered employment, these types of benefit “awards” can be expected: 1) Relocation Assistance will be made available that will include a standard cash payment in addition to paid travel. For those who travel by car (recommended), the standard amount used by the IRS with regards the per mileage reimbursable rate will be paid (ex. .50/mile), those who submit documentation in support of their travel requests, that can include food and lodging on the route towards their destination; 2) Subsidized Rents for those Coordinators and Marketing/Sales Consultants stationed in National Base and similar distant locations, which is essentially an increase in salary (the difference between what would normally be paid and what is actually paid in rent in these pricey locals) for those in such locations that is not available to others directly in the same manner but, which they will also receive in different ways), the subsidized rent/income increase will be reflected on the annual tax-related documentation; 3) Equally Shared Royalty Payments for those staff members who excel at being innovative and develop unique designs worthy of pursuing patent protection for these ideas and for, which successful patent claims are obtained. As a result, all royalties obtained will be shared at a rate equivalent to 50/50 percent (%) with the applicable staff member and where multiple individuals share the innovation, they will all share the royalties collected equivalent to the staff 50% split. The remaining 50% will be the Proprietorship’s share of the royalties collected; 4) Incentive Cash Payments will be made available to those staff members who submit written suggestions that result in efficiency savings by the Proprietorship. For example, if a staff member submits an idea for conducting business more efficiently regarding a specific activity (carried out by the Proprietorship), and savings are realized when the alternate method of conducting the same task suggested is implemented, the staff member will receive a cash award equivalent to the following criteria. If cash savings of up to $1000.0 are realized, then a cash payment equivalent to $300.00 will be paid to the staff member. If savings equivalent to $1001.00 and $5000.00 are realized when the suggestion is implemented, a cash payment equivalent to $400.00 will be paid to the staff member. On the other hand, if savings equivalent to $5001.00 and $10,000.00 are realized when the suggestion is implemented, then a cash payment of $500.00 will be paid to the staff member. Finally, if savings of greater than $10,001.00 are realized, then a cash payment of $600.00 will be paid to the staff member. This will be the “Holding Base” Proprietorship’s avenue to encourage staff to make recommendations regarding methods that can improve their working conditions by conducting business more efficiently. 5) The Fleet/Leased Vehicles Program will be made available to all staff holding a valid driver license. The “Holding Base” will use its collective purchasing ability to effect an arrangement with one selected manufacturer from, which all the vehicles will be purchased at a favorable price. It is anticipated that two (2) ONLY manufacturers will be selected from which quotes will be requested and the manufacturer offering the better cost arrangement that can in turn be passed on to the staff, will be the “Manufacturer of Choice” and the specific make/model selected will be known as “fleet” make/model Program vehicles for those desirous of taking part in this Program. The individual staff will lease the vehicles from the Proprietorship and the payments will be deducted from their paychecks each month and it’s the expectation that these vehicles will last for a minimum of four (4) years, at, which time the vehicles will be traded in and new vehicles purchased by the “Holding Base” and offered to the staff as leased vehicles in the same arrangement. All savings realized from this Program will remain in the “pool” of funds set aside for this purpose into, which the monthly leased payments will also be deposited for servicing the fund/avenue (financial institution) via, which the funds are obtained. It is the expectation that all staff participating will maintain valid vehicle insurance and licenses (as required by law) on these vehicles at all times and keep up with required servicing at regular intervals as recommended by the manufacturer in order to enhance the service life of the vehicles and with this cooperation by ALL participating staff, the Program will be a continuous benefit offered. The Financial Comptroller's group will be responsible for the administration of this benefit. 6) The Employee of the Month Program, is intended to highlight those stellar performers who give continuous outstanding service and for such types, who will be chosen each month based on recommendations from the Special Assistant to the Proprietor as well as the Proprietor's Financial  Affairs Overseer with the final decision being made by the Proprietor and the "selectee", holding a valid Driver License receiving use of the Staff Vehicle designated for such purposes by the Proprietorship the following month and will be made available to the individual selected each month. Any staff member who receives the distinct recognition of being selected for three (3) successive occasions will be entitled to keep the vehicle permanently and a new vehicle will be obtained to replace that awarded to the successful staff member for continuance of the Program. 
It must be borne in mind that if any neglect is determined to be taking place, with regards the vehicle, the Program will be terminated if individuals don't maintain the vehicle in top condition and repeated issues occur with maintaining the vehicle in top (new vehicle type) shape; The Program will remain in place as long as the staff using the vehicle monthly maintain the vehicle in proper condition while in their possession, such that it can be turned over to the next individual each month in top condition. If any neglect is determined to be taking place, with regards the vehicle, the Program will be terminated if individuals don't maintain the vehicle in top condition and repeated issues occur with maintaining the vehicle in top (new vehicle type) shape. 7) The Dependents Instruction Assistance Program, which was intended to make the task of instructing the offspring of staff members based in various locations less of a concern, but is available to all staff, to prepare them (dependents) to successfully accomplish the ACT testing requirements combined with the Work Study assignments to enable them to be better prepared for the workplace environment; and 8) The “Holding Base” does not offer a Pension Plan as such, but will for those note worthy staff members completing years of continuous meritorious service, the following will be offered in lieu of such, assistance with the establishing of their own proprietorships with terms and similar arrangements and a defined unique service area as discussed in the post
HOW BUSINESSCOLLABORATION BETWEEN THE INDEPENDENT PROPRIETORS AND THEIR DISTRIBUTOR ISINTENDED TO FUNCTION as updated by the details described in the GENERAL NOTATION of the Stand Alone Table “HOLDINGBASE” NATIONAL INDEPENDENT MARKETING/SALES PROPRIETORSHIPS DISTRICTS/OPERATINGAREAS. Those few with the most outstanding service may be assisted with Independent Distributorships, The main difference or caveat between these two arrangements is that these who are assisted and succeed will be required to contribute an amount equivalent to 2% of their profits toward a fund established by the “Holding Base” that will go towards assisting others it he same way, while the “Holding Base” will contribute an amount equivalent to 3% towards from its share of all profits from these Independent Proprietorships, towards this fund annually. This in effect means that those with such Proprietorships will retain 48% of their profits and the on-going Pension Pool Fund will eventually have its own fund Consultant/Coordinator under the Financial Comptroller’s Benefits section, that will keep staff and fund contributors aware of its status routinely.

Conclusion:
The “Holding Base” neither is nor will become a “giant” corporate entity with huge “stock payments” being made to “executives” and others, but it will remain a Proprietorship, which values the worthwhile efforts of its staff as they ethically and professionally carry out their required tasks all with the aim of delivering successful products and services. It is hoped that those with the most successful, consistent work records will be those who will earn these in lieu of pension benefits as the “Holding Base” Proprietorship’s way of expressing thanks to the appropriate worthy staff. Furthermore, as the Proprietorship becomes the type of outstanding investment “vehicle”, desired; it’s possible to envision that similar type “benefit awards” may be added to these described here. Nevertheless, this will not take away from the fact that what is prized most in its staff, is their commitment to providing processional, ethical service to assist the Proprietorship achieve its critical objectives and for that the, most notable will be “awarded” the applicable benefits in addition to all the others described. It is my hope that these “awards” will be go a long way towards assisting the professional staff members of the “Holding Base” and its subsidiary Proprietorships with their financial needs as we collectively work towards achieving all our critical objectives.
