Quote of the Issue
"Read, every day, something no one else is reading.

I've gathered information from BSI, Lawson, the state of PA and other resources to better educate our company on the changes. We are based in MN and produce payroll in MN but have sales force of about 40 that live and work in the state of PA. What are others doing to prepare for this?  Read More... 

Thanks for your continued support of the LawsonGuru Letter and LawsonGuru.com.
