Dulcinea's Insight
- One way to demonstrate your value to your employer is to track the specific incidents where you made (or saved) your company money. If you don't already have software that can help you do this, try a free online tool such as Google Docs and Spreadsheets (http://docs.google.com) or Zoho Sheet (http://sheet.zoho.com).
- The more you get paid, the more the government will tax you. But you may be able to deduct some of your work-related expenses from your taxable income and save some money come tax time. For more information check the findingDulcinea Income Tax Guide. Or for a very quick reference, try the Internal Revenue Service Web site.
