Newsnow.co.uk Style Site
would like to set up and run a feed based site similar to newsnow.co.uk – with a few more sports and a twitter feed from interesting sports based tweets. An existing framework exists for the site and a large collection of RSS feeds have been collected for the tweets.

Payroll Control System
Payroll managment

General Description

We are looping for a simple system to help us manage our payroll. We can¡¦t use standard payroll systems because of our payroll schema.

We currently have two types of employees.
1- Employees that are paid per gig
2- And employees that have a base salary + incentives Per gigs

What we are looking for is a system where we can add all our employees., then add a new gig where the system will ask for:
– gig date
– gig name
once that info is provided the system would then ask which employees worked at that gig, the type of payment (full gig salary or gig incentives) and the amount that will be paid.

Definitions:
– Gig: a Gig is an event, a day to day job. Employees only charge for the days worked
– Gig Payment: there are two main components to how our payroll schema works. First the gig (or event) has to be marked as PAID (to the compny) and once we, as a company, have been paid for the gig is when we go ahead and pay our employees for the gig. So you will se gig payment status in the description, this is specified (to the company or to the employee)
– Payment type: we have two payment types that must be specified anyime an amount is added to an employee:
o Full Gig Payment
o Incentive per gig
The main difference being that one as the name suggest is a payment for the gig itself and the other one is used for employees with base salaries as an extra bonus for working at that gig
– f

Reports
The system would then generate reports based on the information entered
– gig report with all employees that worked and how much each of them earned and a total payroll amount for that specific gig. The report must contain the following information
o Gig Info:
„X Gig Date
„X Gig Name
o Employee Info:
„X Employee Name
„X Ammount to be paid
„X Payment type (full or incentive)
– Payroll Report: each payroll period (15th and 30th of each month) the user will generate a payroll report that will display all unpaid gigs (for the employee) separated into two different groups. All unpaid gigs for that employee that are marked paid(for the company) will be on top with a checkbox automatically selected (since we are going to pay them if the gig is matked as paid) and in the bottom a list of all other unpaid gigs (for the employee these will be all gigs marked as NOT PAID for the company where the employee worked) with a checkbox with the ability to manually add the payment. Once this selection Is done two potions will be given to the user.
o Print the report
o Print and mark as payment made (will print the report and will set the status of all checked gigs (in the step before) as PAID
– Emplyee History: A report of all gigs that a specific employee has been paid for in a specified period of time
– Unpaid Gigs per employee: select an employee and system must display all unpaid gigs
– Overall work history per employee: system must display a list of all gigs an employee has worked in ordered by date (most recent on top) with the following info per gig (per line)
o Gig Date
o Gig Name
o Ammount Paid (or Deducted)
o Gig Paid (for the company) a checkbox
o Gig Paid (to the employee) a checkbox asswell
o Period: (will specified in which payroll period the gig was paid)

All reports must have totals at the end. Ex. For payroll report after all gigs that will be paid are selected. The report must include a total to be paid section where all the gigs are added

System has to:
The system must do the following:
– System must print receipts for every action
o Gig Marked as Paid (to company)
o Gig Marked as Paid (to Employee)
o Deduction to an employee
– Have access control. Only users with registered username and password can access the system
– Generate reports with a specific format (will be provided after bidding) reports can be in html or PDF

User Tasks
Tasks User must be able to perform the following tasks:

– User must be able to set gig as paid or pending (for the company).
– user admin area must have a list of all gigs and gig status (paid or unpaid) (For the company)
– once a gig is selected a list of all employees that worked on that gig must be displayed with a payment status (paid or pending)
– user must be able to change employee payment status form pending to paid and vice versa
– user must be able to add a deduction to and employee for the next payroll cycle (deductions must have a description and amount to be deducted)
– user must be able to add a recurring salary for an employee that will be added to the list every 15th and 30th of each month
– reports must be saved. User can go back and re-open a report to see for example how much an employee earned a specific period or month

Sms Cell Phone Project
I’m willing to pay $300-450 for this work:

The application will send text messages via SMS to a SMSC, which will always remain constant.

It’s already been coded for nokia

It needs to be coded for:
Android
Windows Mobile
Nokia N40
Brew
Palm OS

I’ll pay $100 more if you can do blackberry as well.

When you do the work. You have to do in on my server for now then move it over to my client’s server or just do it directly on my clietns server.

When the application is first run:

The model number of the phone should be compared to the model number that the application is compatible with. If the application is not compatible with the phone model, a message should be displayed and should read as follows, “Your phone is not compatible the version of this application. Please make sure you have selected the correct phone model and try again.”. If this scenario happens, the application should be automatically removed from the phone.

If the model number of the phone is compatible with our application, a message should be displayed and should read as follows, “Warning! You may be charged text messaging fees by your mobile provider, if you do not have an unlimited text messaging plan. If you choose to accept these terms, please select ‘I Agree’”. If the agreement is accepted, the application should be run.

Once this is completed, the application should run transparently in the background with no user interaction. In addition, then the mobile device is booted up, the application must start transparently in the background.

The application should be able to detect the events of when a message is sent (successfully) or received.

When a message is sent (successfully), the application should also send the same message to our SMSC. It will follow the same path as a normal SMS message. Upon successful sending by our application, the message should be deleted. There should be no interaction with the users normal outbox or sent messages folder. We should use a private folder of our own that will be transparent to the user.

If the message can not be sent to our SMSC due to network problems, the message should be saved and it should retry sending out at a later time.

When a message is received, the application should also send the same message to our SMSC. It will follow the same path as a normal SMS message. Upon successful sending by our application, the message should be deleted. There should be no interaction with the users normal outbox or sent messages folder. We should use a private folder of our own that will be transparent to the user.

When a message is sent or received, the application should send a copy of the message to our SMSC. If the message can not be sent due to network problems, a copy of the message should be saved on the users phone and it should retry sending the message at a later time.

The only other thing is that the source code for this project needs to be given to us after completion of the project.

Text Over Image Generator
I urgently need a “text over image” “custom poster generator” where users can input text which is overlayed upon an image and turned into a graphic. The idea is that users can add their own humourous text to well known billboard posters.

It should be a clone of this

Whmcs Payment Gateway
We need to create an integration module to whmcs (http://wiki.whmcs.com/) that will allow us to use a new Gateway for the payment.
For the development we provide a development kit with instructions for the creation of the form and the documentation
required for integration with iwsmile (http://www.iwsmile.it/index.jhtml?id_node=esercenti)
