With Remote Work Here to Stay, Asure’s (NASDAQ: ASUR) Partnership With Harbor Compliance Will Help SMBs Navigate Multi-State Payroll and Labor Regulatory Requirements

Spotlight Growth/ASUR

The rise of remote work has been a key silver lining for U.S. workers in the wake of the COVID pandemic. Three years later, working from home remains popular amongst younger members of the workforce. Despite the recent headlines of companies trying to force their employees back to the office, remote work is not going anywhere. According to a recent survey from Robert Half (RHI), nine in ten workers who said they were considering changing jobs noted a preference for hybrid or fully remote opportunities. In fact, nearly a third of workers who are required to go into the office at least one day a week have stated their preference for taking a pay cut in exchange for a fully-remote position. Furthermore, Robert Half noted that 28% of all new job postings in January 2023 were categorized as remote positions, compared to 29% in January 2022. As workers dig in and refuse to give up on remote and hybrid positions, businesses will increasingly need to ensure their payroll tax registration and compliance requirements are met across federal and state laws. For small-to-medium businesses (SMBs), this presents a potential headache, along with higher costs to attract and retain quality employees. However, Asure Software (NASDAQ: ASUR), through its latest partnership with Harbor Compliance, seeks to provide SMBs with a streamlined solution for this issue. Asure & Harbor Compliance Partnership Combines HCM With Multi-State Compliance Solutions The economy is at an important junction currently, which has been characterized by the highest interest rates & inflation in decades. This, in turn, has led to rising costs across the board from goods & services to labor and more. For larger enterprises, these higher costs are likely more easily absorbed than compared to SMBs. For SMBs to stay competitive while controlling costs, they need to leverage technology-based solutions in human capital management (HCM) and human resources, which can help streamline back-office operations without increasing their headcount. This is exactly where companies like Asure Software come into play and fill this cost-cutting need for SMBs. Asure’s comprehensive cloud-based HCM platform provides an all-in-one solution for smaller businesses to streamline and manage their payroll, taxes, employee time & attendance, retirement offerings, and other elements under the umbrella of human resources. Asure’s latest partnership with Harbor Compliance effectively expands its existing comprehensive HCM platform to now include multi-state regulatory compliance solutions. Maintaining proper payroll and taxation compliance with each federal, state, and local governing entity is essential for SMBs to offer their employees the ability to work remotely or under a hybrid model. Unfortunately, labor laws are constantly changing, which can place an unreasonable cost burden on SMBs to ensure they remain compliant with any changes at the federal, state, or local levels. However, the integration of the Harbor Compliance platform with Asure’s HCM solutions provides SMBs and nonprofits with the ability to ensure labor regulations are met throughout the United States. In other words, Harbor Compliance effectively helps SMBs streamline their labor compliance by simplifying license and registration requirements at the federal, state, and local levels. "Out-of-state hiring poses specific challenges for businesses needing to set up tax registrations and process payroll efficiently,” stated James Gilmer, Strategic Partnership Manager of Harbor Compliance. “Growing companies need a solution that keeps pace.” Asure Wraps Up Q1 2023 With Several New Partnerships and Integrations Asure has made a handful of major new partnerships and integrations through the first three months of 2023. The company’s latest partnership with Harbor Compliance joins H&R Block (HRB), Intuit (INTU) TurboTax, and ZayZoon, which were announced earlier in the year. The H&R Block and TurboTax partnerships were enacted to provide SMB employees with the ability to streamline their tax filing process. This is an important perk and feature that SMBs can use to attract and retain quality employees, considering that TurboTax and H&R Block are the numbers one and two market leaders in the consumer tax prep services industry. With Tax Day just around the corner, these integrations are likely providing much-needed streamlining support to SMB clients’ employees. The ZayZoon partnership provides another tool for SMB employees to gain access to financial wellness and earned wage access solutions. With the ZayZoon integration, employees can access their earned wages even faster, which can help alleviate financial pressure and provide employees with greater peace of mind. Allowing employees to access their earned wages in real-time is yet another important tool for SMBs to retain and recruit key talent in the labor force. Overall, Asure Software provides an impressive solution for SMBs because they are always looking for ways to help their clients with new features, new partnerships, and capabilities. For SMBs, this is a huge advantage, not only to help cut costs and streamline operations but to also remain competitive in recruiting top-tier workers. The latest partnership with Harbor Compliance is just the latest example of Asure adapting and providing its clients with solutions that look to solve current challenges. Work-from-home and hybrid working are not going away, no matter how much some big companies kick and scream for employees to return to the office. The statistics and preferences are very clear…workers are willing to take pay cuts to preserve their flexible working conditions. By offering streamlined compliance with payroll and taxation regulations across all 50 states, Asure’s SMB clients now have a competitive advantage against these major enterprises that are trying to force a return to office by potentially attracting their former workers that left in pursuit of a more flexible working environment.

The National Anti-Corruption Commission in Thailand (NACC) noted Private sector must have clear details of bribery-prone activities

Integrity Way

BANGKOK THAILAND - Media OutReach - 28 April 2023 - The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) encourages the private sector not to offer bribes to government officers and advises them to impose internal measures to control bribery risks. NACC Secretary-General Niwatchai Kasemmongkol said bribery was a national problem and there were cases in which bribes were offered for business benefits across borders, affecting the country's credibility and efficiency of budgetary spending. The NACC, therefore, promoted good governance in the public sector to create the "No Gift" culture, he said. NACC has set up Anti-Bribery Advisory Service (ABAS) Center to provide knowledge and guidelines to the private sector concerning the laws on offering bribes to government officials and to have appropriate measures to prevent bribery. This will lead business to be transparent operations with good governance and sustainable growth. In addition, NACC also has rules for prosecuting private sector firms involved in bribing government officials and those working in international agencies. The rules have been issued to make private sector firms aware that they could be prosecuted if they are involved in corruption. Mr. Niwatchai stated further that bribery should be prevented at both ends – the private sector or the bribe giver and government officers or the bribe taker. Those who offered bribe to government officers were subject to penalty under Section 176 of the Anti-Corruption Act B.E. 2561. Juristic persons who bribed government officers would face large fines, said the Secretary-General. The NACC encourages juristic persons susceptible to public bribery to clearly identify their expenses for government agencies and impose measures to inspect these expenses. According to the NACC Act, the value of the gift given to government officers must not exceed 3,000 baht. The Secretary-General warned that juristic persons or businesses should not pay commissions to government officers for whatever reason to avoid risking breaking anti-bribery laws. The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) is a constitutional independent organization and supervised by nine commissioners selected from various professions. It is authorised to undertake work on the prevention and suppression of malfeasance, particularly in government agencies, on assets investigations, as well as on the monitoring of ethics and virtues of political position holders. It has the authority to file charges in court as well as support and build up awareness of the penalties for committing corruption. The NACC is supervised by the NACC Board and has the Office of the NACC as its administrative agency. Since 1997, Thai Courts have ruled against and punished politicians, former ministers, high-ranking government officials as well as executives of the private sector in the thousands of cases submitted by the NACC.

PTOP Renegotiates MOBICARD™2.0 Contract - MOBICARD™1.5 will Be Released First

Peer to Peer Network

Peer To Peer Network a.k.a MobiCard Inc. (OTC: PTOP) (“PTOP”) is proud to announce that we have renegotiated the MOBICARD™2.0 contract so that a release of the improved apps can be released sooner. “Due to a lack of funding, it has been difficult to advance all of the interests of Peer To Peer Network, specifically some of the terms of payment to the developers. I had hosted a shareholder meeting where I detailed that we had hit the halfway mark on the development contract in August of 2022. I expounded that in order to complete it we needed to be able to pay another $20,000. After numerous months of no compensation and the app development at a standstill, Nicholis Santana and Jay Wallace came to me with a solution to bring a MobiCard 1.5 to the stores. They implored that they would be willing to do a release prior to the full launch and an amendment was made to compensate in shares for this task and resume cash payment on MobiCard 2.0 after. I was very pleased to have the developers willing to work with me on the contract to make an amendment that would get us an app in the app stores without having to shell out that cash up front,” explained CEO Joshua Sodaitis. The new amendment to the original MOBICARD™2.0 contract signed by all parties (Developers and Peer To Peer Network) now stipulates that the developers will receive shares in PTOP to release a MOBICARD™1.5 version of the apps and then resume cash payments after in order to have the full MOBICARD™2.0 released. The MOBICARD™1.5 version will not include the enterprise features, nor the paid subscriptions, or advertising. There will be no revenue generating ability until the developers are compensated their cash payments as stipulated in the original agreement. “Look, I am excited about MOBICARD™ and the plethora of invitations both myself and Jay Wallace feel will change the industry as a whole. We want MOBICARD™ to thrive. We agreed to take shares because we believe in ourselves and in the application. I told Josh after we release MOBICARD 1.5 he can start to sign up users. But that is only half the job, the other half is generating positive momentum and growing the user base. Plus, Josh can put out press every time we add the other features therefore creating a real BUZZZZ beforehand prior to the full MOBICARD™2.0 release. I think we are looking at 3-4 months and we have the MOBICARD™1.5 apps in the app stores,” expounded Developer, Nicholis Santana. Hopefully after YOU the shareholders see the supreme job compared to the last apps and the fact that EVERYTHING works will make a BIG difference for the shareholders and will increase the value of the company overall. PTOP’s plan will be to release the MOBICARD™1.5 app within the next 5 months. The plan will be to be able to build a buzz for the apps and be able to make increased press announcements as further functionality is added after the cash payments are made. “I am thrilled that the tech developers were willing to make this amendment to the contract, I can’t wait to start signing people up for the new apps. These new apps are going to be 100% better than the broken mess we were left with from Think Latitude. Not only will they be easier to use, but they will have easy steps to follow. The biggest change is the look and feel of the application, to increase usability and the overall flow. I will still need to get the developers paid their cash component of $20,000 and be able to pay for the AWS servers that cost roughly $1,200 per month in order to have the revenue generating ability, but having an AWESOME app in the app stores will deliver us the ability to start to get a larger user base prior to the MOBICARD™2.0 launch,” concluded CEO Sodaitis.
