Protect Your Business From Fraud This Time of Year

Tis’ the season of giving, but for many fraudster’s, it’s also an opportunity to take advantage of your hectic schedule! Fraud is on the rise during the holiday season. It’s even more important to keep your eyes open for the following fraud indicators. When more than one is true during a card-not-present transaction, fraud might be involved.

 

•             Larger-than-normal orders

•             Orders that include several of the same item

•             Shipping to an international address (Very High Risk)

•             Transactions with similar account numbers

•             Transactions placed on multiple cards or multiple transactions on one card over a very short period of time

•             Sales processed through the Deaf Relay System

•             Cardholder’s asking for Wires or funds through Western Union

•             Sales that seem “Too Good to be True”

 

*****Remember*****

Take every precaution at the point of sale. It’s important to take extra steps such as:

•             AVS (Address Verification) is a Match

•             Verify the CVV (3 digit security code) is a Match

•             Always ship to the AVS verified cardholder billing address

•             Look out for "red flags" for fraud signs that can be identified and stopped at the point of sale.

•             Check your batches daily! Especially if you are on automatic settlement and have an online store.
               This gives you the opportunity to identify if fraud is taking place, void the transaction, and then contact
               risk/tech support for help.

 

If you aren't comfortable with any sale or the sale seems suspicious in any way you can deny the sale or ask for the cardholder to pay using alternate form of payment (i.e. wire, money order, cash).

 

If you have any questions or concerns regarding a transaction please contact the Risk Management Department at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

  • Install the Payroll Tax Table Update
  • Assign the appropriate new employee filing status for each employee that earned Connecticut income in 2011 prior to August 1.

The following new filing statuses have been added to the CT tax tables based on the Withholding and Calculation

 Rules:   Filing Status Description

 A1 A-PHASEOUT WGS TO 62,750

A2 A-PHASEOUT WGS > 62,750

A3 A-PHASEOUT/RECAP WGS > 200K

B2 B-PHASEOUT WGS > 98,500

The pre-existing Filing Statues A, B, C, D & F have been updated with the new rates for Table C- 
Withholding Tax and should be used for employees hired after August 1, 2011.

Additional Information Regarding Calculating Connecticut Taxes Due to the significant changes in the Connecticut tax law you must pay special attention to employees’ wages throughout the balance of this tax year. The following are some special circumstances where the Sage ERP MAS 90 and 200 Payroll program calculations cannot fully accommodate these tax law changes and manual calculations may be required.

For example:

 If you have recently hired employees, prior to August 1, 2011, you will have to determine whether to continue to use their existing filing status or change to the new filing status. Either way, for this small group of employees, they will be under or over withheld. You may want to calculate their taxes manually to determine which filing status will calculate the most accurate withholding amount for the rest of the year.

For employees with varying paid hours (20 hrs week 1, 30 hrs week 2, etc) you would need to
manually calculate their taxes using the wage bracket tables and enter as manual taxes in Payroll Data Entry for each check.
