Sutlet Group moves to Lotus Notes 8.5
This week Sutlet Group moved it's entire office management and email system to IBM Lotus Notes 8.5, with the expert assistance of Evergreen Comware Co., Ltd.. The move was made to provide more accessibility to information, greater accountability amongst staff and, most importantly, allow us the opportunity to further enhance our relationships with customers.
All Sutlet Group team members, including those from FCA (Thailand) and PB Legal Services are now all able to access incredible funtionality with regards their email, tasks and calendars but also within new applications called ContactPower, SalesPower and PeoplePower (all developed by Evergreen Comware to work within Lotus Notes itself). Additionally, all staff are able to communicate 'live' via the internal "SameTime" chat software, facilitating the faster transition of information.
A major benefit to the move is that of security. The IBM Domino server is exceptionally secure, especially behind our CyberRoam firewall, and the Lotus Notes program itself is fair more secure than it's Microsoft-based equivalents.
All in all, management, employees and customers will benefit with this move - it's another step towards achieving our goals in Thailand and beyond.

Thailand income tax exemptions: the importance of proper payroll
The vast majority of organisations in Thailand do not calculate income tax properly for their employees. This is an incredible oversight and one that is potentially costing organisations hundreds of thousands of Baht every year.
Employees in Thailand pay an income tax based on their earnings. This income tax is, however, subject to deductions in accordance with various factors, including whether they are married, have children, are the only working partner in a marriage, whether the children are in education, whether they pay interest on a property, and others related to investments and donations.
Take a look at the following example:
These figures should all be listed and recorded in your organisations payroll system. An accurate payroll system is crucial in calculating these significant cost savings, and also provides staff with confidential documented evidence regarding their salary that can be used to obtain loans and other financial services.
If you feel that your organisation, or your employer, is not taking full advantage of potential income tax exemptions here in Thailand, or that your payroll system could be improved, ask the question - or contact one of the organisations below.

- Mr Smith is married, his wife is a stay at home Mum, he has two children (both in education) and pays Baht 10,000/month interest on his condo.
- Mr. Johnson is single, has no children, and rents his condo.
