It‘s called “Collaborative Care” and it is about involving the whole medical team, including the patient and the families in care decisions.

I hate to admit it, but I was fired from my first two jobs out of college. I felt like a failure and was dejected, not knowing why I could not succeed despite really trying. I was an accountant then and earned a CPA certification. I had good grades from a very good school and understood accounting theory at an advanced level. In addition, I was a good interviewer and was able to convince people that I was the person they wanted to hire.

There has always been deluge of advice asking employers to treat their candidates like customers. In order to make a great candidate want to work at your company, you need to cater to their needs, make sure they feel special and offer them things like benefits, perks, and higher pay that your competitors don’t. It’s sound advice, for the most part, but as it turns out, following the “ treat candidates like customers ” point of view doesn’t always work.

Payroll taxes are the federal, state, and local taxes that you, as an employer, are required to pay on behalf of employees. Therefore it's essential that employees accurately record hours worked. If you end up underpaying, there will be stiff penalties and interest. And if you're overpaying taxes, that's not a sound financial strategy for your business.
