It’s safe to say that no company in existence today that has more than a couple of employees can exist without a knowledgeable IT support person or team. When you’re trying to run a website, create a solid technological structure, and keep things running even at the most stressful of times, a strong IT support team can make sure that things don’t go completely haywire at the worst time or, if it does, that somebody is there to fix it.
Hi UKBFers,

Here are my top picks from the past week.

My partner is a sales executive and on a basic salary and commission structure. However, he has a monthly threshold to cover before he can receive any earnt commissions. This is nearly £4,000 a month and covers his costs, such as salary, car, phone etc.
He is returning to work after nearly a year of furlough where the government paid 80% of his wage. His company has sent him a spreadsheet with the threshold he owes over the past year which is well over £40,000.
