Document Summary

Stuff, portola, lead, and bees by prof. john whiteley. What the textbook says is that stuff moves through a system from extraction to. The government (job: to take care of us) and the corporation. The crisis it is a linear system and we live on a finite planet: you cannot run a linear system on a finite planet indefinitely. A fancy word for natural source exploitation: which is a fancy word for trashing the planet. The first limit we are running out of resources: we are using too much stuff. If the rest of the world consumed at us rates, we would need three to five planets. We use energy to mix toxic chemicals to mix with natural resources to make toxic contaminated products. There are over 100,000 synthetic chemicals used in production today only a handful have ever been tested for health impacts. And none have been tested for the interaction with other chemicals: synergistic health impacts.

On Monday, May 26, Tina Brown walked into Innovative Patios to begin her new job as Payroll Manager. She was met by Julie Thornbury, President and major shareholder of the company. Julie got to the point: Good, you're here. I need a payroll plan by Friday. This place is a mess.

Yesterday I got a call from Human Resources & Skills Development Canada. He said we aren't filing ROEs. Do you know what they are?

We've got employees telling us that they get more tax deducted than their friends who earn the same amount. Jim, our production manager is barking that he should have a tax credit for his kid. We've been fined for sending in employee taxes late. I don't get it. I pay two people to run the administrative side of things and they mess things up.

I hear there are changes in the pipeline. I heard about the federal budget, but I don't know if we will benefit or not. Will it be just more paperwork? The bottom line is that I don't want any more government types coming around here threatening me. Tell me what we have to do.

Company History

Innovative Patio is a private corporation that installs patios stones made from recycled material. The company was started twenty years ago by Julie's parents Elena and Seamus. Elena and Seamus were immigrants to Canada and earned a living through a small landscaping business. They hired workers on contract and paid in cash for many years until they were audited by the tax department.

To avoid further problems, they incorporated the company five years ago, but their workers on the payroll, and hired Mary as a bookkeeper to fill out all the government forms.

Payroll Department

Mary quickly became Innovative Patios office manager, human resources manager, financial administrator, and payroll manager. The workload was overwhelming and she convinced Julie to hire Liza to help her. Liza suggested they use Quicken to keep track of all accounts including payroll.

Mary and Liza fill out all cheques by hand for the ten employees and fill out all the government forms by hand. The company's remittances are based on a checklist Mary developed in 2009 (See Exhibit), Mary is unhappy because she works very hard, but everyone complains about things being wrong. When Julie landed a large contract that would require 15 more people to be hired, Mary recommended that Julie hire a professional payroll manager. I can handle the other stuff, but the Canada Revenue Agency and the employee complaints are driving me crazy. I just can't keep up. I will be as helpful as I can.

Julie led Tina to her office and rushed off to take care of a crisis on the loading dock. Before Tina could get settled, Mary walked in, I am so happy to meet you. Just tell me what you need and Liza and I will get it for you. The employees are paid bi-weekly and this Wednesday is a payday. I haven't prepared anything

because I knew you would be here.
