How to acknowledge the independent work of staff?

Lets say i have to plan audit and send two member team on that audit. I assign the work to each member while making plans and then just make a sheet of tasks that each member has to do. Now not only they know what he has to do, but I also have record of what each member is supposed to do. Then at time of review of their work I know who has done what, because of their initials, and then deal with them accordingly. That is to say praise their good work, or else tell him his mistake.

You can also check out job postings to see how much is offered to new employees in positions that utilize the services that you will be offering. When you have a base price, you will want to make sure that your asking price not only covers the base price, but that it also covers your expenses for delivering the service.

• Learn about the record keeping that is needed. As an independent contractor, you will need to keep track of your expenses and your revenues. To do this, you can invest in a bookkeeping software program like Peachtree or Quicken, or you can simply write down the information in a notebook. Whichever method you utilize, you will want to keep all of the receipts that you get for your expenses and you will want to photocopy checks that are paid. To make sure that a receipt is not lost, keep it in a manila envelope that is clearly labeled "Receipts FY20XX." In addition to keeping track of your financial information you will also want to set up files for each of your clients. Your client files should include the client's name, their address, their contact information, the service that you provide to them, and a chart where you can enter the work that you are scheduled to perform for the client, when the job is due, how much the service will cost, and when they paid for the service. Other records that you will want to keep include an invoice log, an accounts receivable log, and an accounts payable log.

As a result you will need to determine what insurances you need to protect yourself in your field of expertise. To do this you can consult with a business insurance professional. In addition to obtaining insurance you will also want to obtain the professional licenses and permits that are required for your profession.

Keep your appearance neat and clean, make sure that your communication is professional and respectful, complete projects on time and on budget, keep the lines of communication open and active between you and your clients, and offer follow-up services at a reduced rate or for free.
