Chapter 2/2 of Skin Of Thunder Veins Of Longing (previous chapter) (next chapter) (masterlist) Simon 'Ghost' Riley x fem!Reader

“I never wanted this, but now I can’t remember what it feels like not to want you. It’s more than want—it’s a need that crawls beneath my skin, and I’m drowning in it, in you.”

The cantina buzzed with the low murmur of personnel on break, the clatter of cutlery against metal trays filling the air.

Task Force 141 had claimed a corner table, where Soap and Gaz tucked into their meals with the enthusiasm of men who rarely had the chance to eat without interruption. Ghost sat across from them, his body language as closed off as ever.

He wasn’t there for the food, he never was, more out of the bond of camaraderie that held them together. His hazel eyes, hidden behind the balaclava, constantly scanned the room, his body never quite relaxing even in these moments of downtime.

And then, like clockwork, his gaze caught on someone again—you.

You were standing near the entrance, talking with a small group of senior HR officers, the tablet in your hand clutched like a lifeline. Your yellow-and-black striped sweater looked absolutely ridiculous with the tacky silver charms on it's collar.

Ghost’s jaw clenched involuntarily at the sight. You looked like a bloody bumblebee, buzzing around like an insect he couldn’t swat away. Always on the periphery, always distracting him.

He didn’t understand how or why, but no matter where he was on the base, his eyes seemed to find you, like clockwork.

It was as if you existed on a different frequency, a subtle hum beneath the noise, always drawing him in. It didn’t matter if it was across a crowded room or a passing glance in the hall, somehow you were always there, threading through his sharp awareness like a shadow he couldn’t outrun. Deep down he knew that he would be able to pick you out of any crowd, no matter how large, no matter how far. Among a million faces, yours would be the one to pull him in, as if some unspoken gravity bound you to him.

An invisible force he longed for but was wary of at the same time.

Soap, who had been watching his lieutenant with that sharp, teasing edge of his, didn’t miss a beat. He nudged Gaz with his elbow, a smirk already forming on his lips. “Aye, look at this. Caught him in the act again. Can’t seem to help yourself, can ya, Lt.?”

Gaz let out a barely disguised chuckle, passing it off as a cough.

Ghost tore his eyes from you, irritation flashing across his face beneath the balaclava as his icy gaze fixed on Soap. “Got nothin’ better to do than run your gob?” he said, the warning in his tone crystal clear. Soap wasn’t about to back down, though.

“If you’re gonna keep starin’, might as well do somethin’ ‘bout it.”

Before Ghost could fire back, the sergeant leaned back in his chair, calling across the room.

“Oi, HR assistant! Yeah, you, in the rank sweater. Fancy joinin’ us?”

You paused mid-conversation, clearly caught off guard.

You glanced back at your seniors, who gave you a quick nod of approval before you started making your way over to the men at the corner table. There was a noticeable uncertainty in your steps, heels clicking slowly on the linoleum floor as you approached, holding your tablet in front of you like a shield.

By the time you reached their table, your cheeks had bloomed into a soft, rosy hue—whether from embarrassment or nerves, Ghost couldn’t quite tell. His instinct was to bolt, to disappear into the shadows where he belonged, to let the ground swallow him whole before your eyes could lock onto his. But instead, he held his ground, as always. He met your gaze with a steady stare, but beneath the facade, he felt an unsettling pull, like a tremor beneath stone.

He immediately tensed as you neared, the soft, sweet scent of your perfume, something floral he couldn’t quite place, cutting through the sterile air of the room. The fragrance wrapped around him, and it took all his control not to react.

“Afternoon, sirs,” you greeted them, your voice polite, though tinged with the awkwardness of someone out of their element. “Is there something you needed from me?”

Soap, with his usual lack of formality, waved a dismissive hand through the air. “Drop that formal bullshit, will ya? Sit down and join us for a bit. Take a load off, yeah?”

Your brows furrowed slightly, clearly unsure of what to make of the invitation.

“I don’t wanna impose,” you mumbled, eyes darting between them.

“Not a chance,” Gaz said with an easy smile. “C’mon, take a seat.”

You hesitated for a moment, eyes shifting nervously to Ghost, who remained silent, his gaze unreadable behind the mask. However, when Gaz—ever the gentleman—pulled out the chair next to him, you finally relented and sat down, placing your tablet carefully on the table. You glanced around at them, still blushing deeply, uncertainty palpable as you adjusted the sleeves of your sweater.

Soap leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table. “So, how’s HR treatin’ ya? Keepin’ you busy, assistant?”

You blinked at him, then shook your head, feeling the flush of embarrassment rise again.

“Actually, it's Dizzy,” you corrected softly, your voice almost apologetic. “I mean, everyone calls me that around here so…” You paused, glancing away for a second. “Silly nickname, I know.”

Soap gave a quick nod, flashing a smirk. “Dizzy, eh? Why’s that?”

“I guess it stuck because I’m kinda, well... all over the place,” you said with a sheepish smile, shrugging lightly. “But, I don’t mind it. Dizzy kinda suits me, in a weird way.”

Dizzy.

It really suited you, Ghost thought, in a way he couldn’t quite explain. There was something in the way you moved, like a leaf caught in a restless breeze, always spinning, never still, as if it was a dance only you could perform. But it wasn’t just your movements—it was the way you seemed to orbit around things that didn't care about you, never quite touching down, always slightly out of sync, like a distant star flickering in the wrong sky.

“And how’s life in the paperwork jungle, Dizzy girl? Herdin’ officers and keepin’ the place in line I s’pose?” Soap asked, circling back to his original question.

You managed a small, nervous smile at his teasing, though your fingers still fidgeted slightly with the sleeve of your sweater.

“Yeah, busy enough I guess,” you replied, trying your best to keep your tone light. “But I doubt it’s as busy as what you all deal with.”

Your eyes flicked toward Ghost for a split second, as if seeking his reaction. However, when you caught sight of him staring intently, his body rigid, you quickly looked away, the tension radiating off of him clearly palpable. The air seemed to thicken between the group, and Ghost couldn’t help the flash of irritation that ran through him. He was this close to rip Soap’s head off his thick neck for making the situation this awkward for all of them.

The idea of making a quick exit was appealing, but he couldn’t leave now, not with you sitting at their table.

Soap, though, seemed to revel in the pure awkwardness of the situation, his grin widening as he leaned back in his chair. “Ach, you’re doin’ fine, lass. Just relax. We’re not interrogatin’ ya,” he teased, a playful edge to his hoarse voice.

You huffed nervously, your eyes dropping to your hands resting in your lap. “Yeah, I know, but—well, no offence, but you’re all a bit intimidating up close.”

Soap’s laugh rang out, sharp and loud, sounding almost like a dog’s bark. He leaned forward as if gearing up to make things even more uncomfortable. “Intimidating? Us? Aye, you’ve no idea, Dizzy girl.”

Ghost rolled his eyes beneath the mask, the irritation creeping up his spine. Soap was pushing it, and the lieutenant’s patience was wearing thin. He didn’t need this kind of circus at their table. He’d rather be anywhere else than stuck in the middle of this nonsense.

His cold gaze flicked toward you, catching you nervously wringing your hands and looking like you wanted to disappear into the floor, watching how you fumbled through the unbearable awkwardness Soap had caused. A kindred spirit, Ghost thought. The whole scene was starting to grate on him too. He barely tolerated small talk on a good day, and this was worse. Far worse.

Gaz, also noticing your discomfort, was quick to step in, trying to salvage the situation.

“Don’t mind him,” he said with a lazy half-smirk, his tone softening even more as he turned toward you. “Johnny’s all bark, no bite.”

His voice held a comforting warmth, like he was genuinely trying to put you at ease.

“No, it’s okay, really,” your voice held a slight tremor of nervous humour, your eyes flicking towards Soap. “I probably need to get used to the teasing anyway. That’s what my dad would say. Toughen up, kid. Don’t let it get to you.” You paused, imitating your father's deep voice for a beat, as if weighing whether to continue, but then added, “He was military too, you know. Retired now. This job is sort of my way of… making him proud, I guess.”

Your words seemed to hang in the air, the lightness in your tone contrasting the sincerity of your confession. It had an effect none of them expected. Soap’s grin faltered slightly, Gaz’s relaxed posture straightened as he glanced over at Ghost. Even the lieutenant, usually unreadable behind his mask, seemed to tense immediately in a way that was different from his usual stoicism. For the first time, Ghost’s sharp gaze softened as he took in your words.

It was obvious that you hadn’t meant to drop something so personal, but now it was out there, hanging in the air like a thick fog.

The silence dragged on, fragile as glass, so you laughed awkwardly, realising the unintended weight of your words and trying to ease the tension. “Yeah, sorry, I’m oversharing again, aren’t I? It’s, uh, kind of a bad habit of mine. Sorry.”

The stillness finally broke with Soap’s snort of amusement. He crossed his arms, his piercing eyes flicking pointedly to your sweater. “Oversharin’? Nah, that’s not the problem, lass. It’s the fashion choices, really. That sweater alone is enough to make anyone talk.”

His tone was playful, but Ghost could feel the subtle shift in your demeanour. As if you were trying to keep up with them, but Soap wasn’t making it easy.

“Yeah, yeah, I know,” you muttered. “I guess I don’t exactly fit the military aesthetic, huh?”

Another long silence settled between the four of them, thick and suffocating, and Ghost found himself pulled unwillingly into the depths of his own past. A military family—he never would have pegged you for that. It stirred something in him, something dark and tangled, a knot of memories he had buried long ago.

His thoughts swirled, a dark storm gathering at the edges of his mind, memories like shattered glass cutting through him. He didn’t want to think about it—his pitiful childhood home, the chaos, the bruises that marked his mother’s skin like silent screams, the uncontained, blind rage in his father’s dull eyes.

The mention of your dad had stirred something deep within him, old wounds reopening with the faintest touch.

The memories rose like black water, threatening to pull him under, but he refused to go there. Not again. Not now. His eyes flickered toward you, and for a moment, he fixated on the faint scent of your perfume, sweet and delicate, imagining what it would be like to drown in you instead. He could fill his lungs with you, let you consume him, swallow him whole. And he would let you do that.

You were already under his skin anyway.

Then, out of the blue, you spoke and the gasping for air stopped.

“Uhm, I’ve got a meeting soon,” you said, checking the time on your tablet. Your voice was steady but hinted at your eagerness to leave. “I should probably head out.”

But Soap wasn’t going to let you go that easily. “Don’t tell me you’re leavin’ just cause Lt. here’s givin’ you the silent treatment.”

The comment earned him a threatening glare from Ghost, who sat rigid, his patience with this entire interaction nearly depleted. He was already annoyed with Soap’s relentless teasing and the way the whole situation was spiralling into awkwardness. But now, the suggestion that you would leave because of him—that was a step too far.

You blinked, fingers tightening around the tablet. “Oh no, it’s not that, no…” you quickly reassured, your eyes flickering nervously toward Ghost.

The way you said it, like you were afraid you might upset him, made something twist in his gut. The last thing he wanted was to be seen as the reason you were uncomfortable and Soap making him the villain in this little social debacle. His razor-thin patience finally snapped, his low, gravelly voice cutting through the tension like a blade, carrying an edge of finality.

“Don’t let Johnny distract you.”

It wasn’t much, but to you, it was an escape.

Ghost’s words gave you the out you needed. The moment he spoke, you seized the opportunity, offering him a small, grateful smile as you rose from your chair. Relief washed over your features, though you tried to keep it composed.

“Thank you, Lieutenant,” you whispered softly.

Gaz, already halfway through another bite of his food, waved you off with a quick nod, his attention quickly returning to his plate.

Soap, on the other hand, wasn’t done. He called after you as you turned to leave. “Don’t be a stranger, Dizzy girl. Next time, wear a new sweater. Maybe somethin’ with polka dots, eh?”

Ghost watched you slip away, his eyes narrowing, tracing the delicate arch of your movement like a lonely shadow chasing the sun. You moved as if the world bent around you. The space between you stretched, and yet it felt as though you were still there next to him, threading through his awareness, brushing against the edges of his thoughts like a whisper he couldn’t quite catch. You were like a ghost of your own, drifting just out of reach, and he couldn’t help but feel the tug of something raw and unnameable within him.

“Well, that was fun,” Soap quipped, his grin widening as he turned to his lieutenant. “You’re a real charmer, Lt. Could barely keep the wee bee from buzzin’ off, eh?”

Ghost’s eyes snapped to Soap, sharp as the crack of gunfire, and in that moment, Soap knew. Oh, how he knew that if he let another word escape his mouth, there would be nothing on this earth that could stop his lieutenant from putting him six feet under.

The weight of that silent threat hung heavy in the air, like a blade poised just above his neck.

Soap, wise enough to catch the flicker of warning, quickly clamped his mouth shut, his playful bravado dissolving under the coldness in Ghost’s gaze. He lowered his head, pretending to find his lunch suddenly fascinating, chewing as if he hadn’t just tossed a match onto the fragile tinder of his lieutenant’s restraint.

But even as he bit into his food, Soap couldn’t help but smirk beneath his feigned ignorance.

He had seen something, something Ghost would never admit aloud—well, not yet, anyway. A forming soft spot, the Achilles tendon of his cold heart, if the lieutenant even believed he could have such a thing. And you were the epicentre of that shift, the silent pull that had drawn Ghost’s focus more than any battlefield ever could.

Maybe, when the storm had passed and Ghost finally stopped fighting whatever it was rising inside him, he’d thank Soap. Maybe, just maybe, he’d appreciate this well-intentioned, if disastrously timed, intervention.

But for now, Soap would stay quiet, as the air between them bristled with the raw, unspoken tension Ghost wasn’t ready to face.

“The ache of you is relentless, a burn in me I can’t put out. I try to steady myself, to pull away, but the way you look at me is enough to tear me open, to leave me standing here, dizzy with everything I would never say.”

Mike franks x reader with the prompt

40. So, can we kiss in your swimming pool?

thankss!

Companion piece to:

Count To Five (NSFW)

When you suggest meeting at the hotel pool after hours Mike doesn’t expect to find you swimming naked. Your clothes are neatly folded up on one of the white plastic sun loungers alongside the pool, there’s two towels and a bottle of whiskey he guesses you stole from the bar sat neatly beside them.

The L.A Law Enforcement Conference that you’re attending was supposed to be a mini vacation. By day you’d both be attending seminars, testing equipment, mingling with other law enforcement personnel but at night…

You’d be all his.

It goes to hell because both NIS and SDPD are too cheap to shell out for separate rooms for their employees. He’s ended up sharing with Randy, who goes to bed promptly at ten pm and spends hours on the phone talking to his wife and new baby. You’re bunking with another female detective, one whose had a scrunchie on the door since day one because she hasn’t met a fed she doesn’t like. The parade of men coming through your room is like San Diego airport during the Christmas rush.

There’s an irony there because Mike’s spent the entire weekend with blue balls while your roommate is getting fucked three ways from Sunday. It’s driving him crazy having you so temptingly close and not able to touch you. Everytime he catches the scent of your perfume, or you brush up against him at the bar, he gets a hard on that would be very hard to explain during the HR workshop.

“How’d you get in?” He calls out across the water as he begins to undress.

The rings come off first, placed carefully on top of your clothing. His shirt’s next, followed by his shoes, socks, trousers and finally his underwear. He’s hard already, leaking because the sight of you wearing fuck all, it’s enough to bring a man to his knees.

“Someone taught me how to pick a lock.” You respond as he descends the steps into the water. It laps against his skin in small waves as he swims towards you.

“It sounds like you’re letting him corrupt you.” He says, his arms wrapping you and drawing you against him. Your thighs hug his hips as he cradles you close, his eyes locking on yours as you float together.

“Maybe, I’m corrupting him.” You murmur, your fingertips running through the damp hair at the nape of his neck.

“You most certainly are darlin.” He whispers, his lips brushing over yours as he notches his cock at your entrance. “You’ve been driving me crazy all damn weekend.”

He makes love to you wildly, his face buried in the curve of your throat as he thrusts inside you with long, hard strokes that have your nails scratching up his back. You start to tighten around his dick, your moans getting louder and Mike chases your release relentlessly, hitting that sweet spot over and over and over again until finally you shatter underneath his hands.

You’re fucking stunning in that moment, eyes bright, skin flushed and the way you grip him…

It’s like he’s died and gone straight to heaven.

He climaxes with you, his release spilling deep as he holds you in place, keeping you filled with every inch of him. This is what he’s been missing in his life, this feeling of intimacy, of connectivity. He’s never felt like this with another woman, so complete, so whole.

You spend the rest of the night tangled up with each other on that plastic sun lounger, a towel wrapped around his hips and one draped across the both of you. He falls asleep with the taste of you and Jack Daniels on his lips, your warm body tucked in against his. These are his favourite moments, he thinks as he starts to drift, the ones where you curl up together and just exist.

He wakes up as the dawn breaks, the orange and pink hues streaking across the sky as the light starts to filter in through the giant glass skylight overhead. You lips brush over his mouth tenderly and it feels like just the sweetest damn thing. He opens his eyes to find you standing over him, fully dressed, your fingertips ghosting along the line of his jaw.

“It’s time to go.” You whisper and Mike sighs as you pull away, forcing himself into a sitting position as you saunter away.

He snatches up his underwear, pulling them on underneath the towel before he tosses it aside. His gaze comes to rest on the clock above the pool as he tugs on his trousers.

5:45am.

The pool opens in fifteen minutes.

“I’ll see you back in San Diego Special Agent Franks.” You say without so much as a second look.

“I hate it when you call me that.” He responds because it feels so fucking impersonal considering how you’ve just spent the night together.

You don’t respond, you don’t even hear him because that door, it’s already closing and leaving Mike all alone.

DAY 5473

Jalsa, Mumbai                   Feb 9/10,  2023                Thu/Fri  9:40 AM

🪔 .. February 10 ..

birthday

joys to

Ef Rahul Sen

, from The City Of Joy , Kolkata .. prayers and wellbeing .. 🌿🙏🏻🚩

.. and the affection of togetherness to

Ef Anat and her husband Daniel

.. for their 21st wedding anniversary on Feb 10 .. 💍💕 .. mazal tov ..

It is conformed fact that the night of correctness of slumber does indeed bring the life and will and energy to face another day with endeavour and the strength of body .. suddenly the weak outlook of the previous days evaporates in the mist of opportunity and gives another dimension to the 24 hrs that you have been introduced to .. 

And thus the extended slumber , just like the extended family is relentless in its presence with the energy and the rested will for the day ahead ..

The assist that is needed to manage is of prime .. directions to be taken to address the various avenues that erupt each hour , need attention in some order and professionalism .. 

Personnel required for such a device is of importance .. the trust the knowledge the know how to give comfort and allegiance to the employer becomes primary .. the search for this , is another challenge .. 

Some are most qualified and equipped to assess the possibilities and deliver the right choice and people to attend to the requirements .. most are not .. and yours truly falls in that category .. 

It is most difficult to get the right person for the right job .. but when they are chosen they deliver to the satisfaction of the need and that is an added advantage .. 

Some of the Ef have these qualaities and are most proficient , and one admires them and lauds their voluntary efforts .. I thank them for their design of inputs they give to make my life a lot easier - well life is never easy, but still ..

So .. there was talk the other day of decision , and the faults that your Blogmaester has in not being able to equip himself with that most essential quality of existence .. 

The suffering is still there .. the need most .. and the inadequacy is most prevailent .. but what is a day without unfulfilled desire .. unfulfilled work .. unfulfilled destined path ..

And ..

We labour , and face with sufficient rectitude the storms that blow before and above us , with fortitude and the strength of belief and prayer ..

Work has taken a while to formulate ..

But , with the hope and profess of many , hopefully it shall soon be formative .. unknown and uncertainty not withstanding ..

A lot has been given to read and assess .. the scripts and facts of what the nature of the work should be .. and that is to be decided .. decided yes, another factor of decision making .. but we shall make efforts and bring all the creative intellect , limited in its being, before us and move ahead .. with of course the blessings of you and many like you .. 🙏 ..

There are many desired inclinations of many to spend time with them, to be present to present myself and my story of life .. 

This is a matter of great mirth .. 

My story and my life ..? 

It is of no value to be shared or given in a standing of learning for another, as they that come forward , put it .. its an embarrassement for me .. unqulified altogether .. 

NO .. 

I am incapable of doing so , or even attempting to accept such promulgations ..

I am content with what the Ef gives .. what the common man sees and acknowledges .. what the audience see and react .. that is enough .. the profession is professed and assessed by they for whom it has been professed .. that is all .. do not try to attach more than that , bevcause there is none more ..

End of argument .. 

End of the DAY today 

Love hope and will to all .. ❤️❤️❤️🌹

Biometric Attendance Machine

A biometric attendance machine is a technology used to track and manage employee attendance based on biometric data, such as fingerprints, facial recognition, or iris scans. These systems are often employed in workplaces, educational institutions, and other organizations to ensure accurate and secure tracking of time and attendance. Here’s a comprehensive overview of biometric attendance machines:

Types of Biometric Attendance Machines

Fingerprint Scanners

Description: Use fingerprint recognition to verify identity. Employees place their finger on a sensor, and the system matches the fingerprint against a stored template.

Pros: Quick and reliable; well-suited for high-traffic areas.

Cons: May be less effective with dirty or damaged fingers; requires regular cleaning.

Facial Recognition Systems

Description: Use facial recognition technology to identify individuals based on their facial features. Employees look into a camera, and the system matches their face against a database.

Pros: Contactless and convenient; can be integrated with other security measures.

Cons: May be affected by changes in lighting or facial features; requires good camera quality.

Iris Scanners

Description: Scan the unique patterns in the iris of the eye to identify individuals. Employees look into a device that captures the iris pattern.

Pros: Highly accurate; difficult to spoof.

Cons: Typically more expensive; requires careful alignment.

Voice Recognition Systems

Description: Use voice patterns for identification. Employees speak into a microphone, and the system analyzes their voice.

Pros: Contactless; can be used in various environments.

Cons: Can be affected by background noise or voice changes.

Hand Geometry Systems

Description: Measure the shape and size of the hand and fingers. Employees place their hand on a scanner, which records its dimensions.

Pros: Effective and reliable; less invasive.

Cons: Requires specific hand placement; less common than fingerprint or facial recognition systems.

Key Features

The Employer’s Playbook: Correcting Employee Misclassification

Navigating the labyrinth of labor laws, tax responsibilities, and HR best practices can sometimes feel like a full-contact sport for business owners. One of the significant challenges in this game is correctly classifying your personnel as either employees or independent contractors. Misclassification can result in dire consequences, including hefty fines and back taxes. In this detailed guide, we’ll break down why correct classification is critical, how to spot misclassification, and what to do if you find you’ve been playing on the wrong team.

What Is Employee and Independent Contractor Classification?

Before we draw battle lines, it’s essential to understand the various types of personnel at your disposal. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Department of Labor (DOL) each have their own criteria for what constitutes an employee versus an independent contractor. Employees typically work under the direction and control of an employer, whereas contractors maintain their independence, controlling when, where, and how the work is done. The distinction is vital because it affects how you pay taxes, allocate benefits, and protect your business from legal disputes.

Employers often prefer to engage workers as independent contractors because it:

Reduces administrative overhead

Eliminates the need to provide employee benefits

Allows for more flexible staffing arrangements

However, misclassification can open a Pandora’s box of unforeseen liabilities.

5 Indicators of Employee vs. Contractor Misclassification

The lines between employees and independent contractors can seem blurry, but certain indicators can clearly point one way or the other. Here are five indicators to watch for:

The Business's Degree of Control

The more control a business exercises over the work being done – including the manner and means of the work – the more likely the worker should be classified as an employee.

Financial Control

When the business controls significant aspects of a worker’s financial affairs, such as setting the pay rate or providing tools and materials, it’s a strong indication of an employer-employee relationship.

Investment in Facilities

If the worker has a significant investment in things like office space or equipment, they're more likely to be a contractor.

Opportunity for Profit or Loss

Contractors typically have the potential to make a profit or suffer a financial loss, while employees are often insulated from business fluctuations.

Permanency of the Relationship

An ongoing, indefinite working relationship suggests an employer-employee relationship. Contracts that specify a defined project or time frame lean more toward independent contractor status.

By assessinging these factors, you can catch early signs of misclassification and protect your business from unnecessary risk.

How to Correct Employee Misclassification

Discovering that you’ve misclassified workers can be a daunting reality, yet there is a path to rectification. Here are the vital steps to correct the course:

Identify the Misclassified Workers

The first step to fixing a problem is recognizing its existence. Audit your workforce to determine the scope of the misclassification.

Re-Evaluate Workforce Hiring Practices

Once the misclassified workers are identified, reassess how and why they were classified as independent contractors. Ensure your classification practices adhere to legal guidelines moving forward.

Adjust for Prior Compensation and Tax Withholding Errors

Correct any erroneous payroll tax filings and ensure all relevant taxes are appropriately withheld and paid.

Communicate Changes Transparently

Notify affected workers of the status change and what it means for their compensation and benefits.

Implement Corrective Policies

Establish clear policies and procedures for future worker classification, including documentation of the basis for classification.

By following these steps, you’ll mitigate the immediate damage and establish a framework for avoiding future misclassification issues.

5 Factors to Calculate Employee Misclassification Costs

Once you’ve acknowledged misclassification, it’s time to tally the costs. Knowing what you’re up against can help you make informed decisions about how to proceed.

Back Pay and Overtime

Misclassified employees may be owed back wages and overtime pay if they were treated as contractors when they should have been deemed employees.

Unemployment and Workers Compensation

Your business may be responsible for past and future payments associated with unemployment and workers compensation benefits.

Tax Adjustments

The IRS can penalize you for failing to withhold and match taxes appropriately for employees. You’ll need to amend past returns and address any unpaid tax liabilities.

Fines and Fees

In addition to the back taxes, the IRS or DOL may levy fines for misclassifications. These penalties can be substantial and vary depending on the number of employees involved and the severity of the violation.

Legal Costs

If an employee brings a lawsuit against your business due to misclassification, you’ll also need to factor in legal fees, settlement costs, and potential damage awards.

By factoring in these costs, you’ll be better equipped to map out how to best address the misclassification with the least amount of impact.

Navigating the complexities of employee classification is not for the faint of heart. However, staying informed about the indicators of misclassification and understanding how to rectify errors can save you immeasurable headaches down the line. Compliance isn’t always simple, but it is non-negotiable. Your workforce — and your bottom line — will thank you for these proactive measures.

In the fast-paced world of business, agility and foresight are your strongest allies. Knowing how to respond to misclassification can transform a potential pitfall into a learning opportunity. By understanding the rules and diligently auditing your practices, you can ensure that your team — both on the field and off — is set up for success.

I-9 Compliance in a New Era: How to Protect Your Workforce and Avoid Penalties

With immigration enforcement expected to intensify under the current administration, U.S. businesses face heightened scrutiny of their hiring and employment practices. One area of particular focus is Form I-9 compliance. The consequences of non-compliance can be steep, including hefty fines and potential workforce disruptions. Here’s how businesses can act now to prepare and protect their operations.

Why I-9 Compliance Matters

Form I-9 is used to verify the identity and work authorization of every employee in the U.S. While it may seem like a routine administrative task, errors or omissions on these forms can result in severe penalties:

Paperwork violations: Fines of up to $2,789 per violation.

Knowingly employing unauthorized workers: Fines exceeding $27,000 per violation, with additional criminal penalties.

Given the risks, companies must treat I-9 compliance as a top priority.

Common I-9 Mistakes to Avoid

Many I-9 violations stem from seemingly minor errors or oversights. Some of the most frequent mistakes include:

Failing to complete the form within the required timeframe.

Leaving fields incomplete or blank.

Accepting documents that are unsatisfactory or fraudulent.

Making corrections without properly dating and initialing them.

Failing to track document expiration dates for re-verification.

An internal review can help identify and rectify these errors before they escalate into costly fines.

Prepare for Increased Enforcement

The current administration is expected to prioritize immigration enforcement, including:

Worksite raids: ICE may conduct unannounced inspections or raids, detaining unauthorized workers and imposing penalties on employers.

Audits and investigations: Increased I-9 audits could expose businesses to fines for even unintentional errors.

Policy changes: Potential revocation of work authorization for foreign-born employees could disrupt operations.

Employers should be proactive in protecting their workforce and minimizing risks.

Steps to Strengthen I-9 Compliance

Conduct Internal Audits

Review your existing I-9 records to ensure they are complete and error-free. Identify and correct discrepancies, following proper procedures for updating forms.

Hire Independent Auditors

Consider engaging a third-party auditor with expertise in I-9 compliance. They can uncover hidden issues and provide actionable recommendations for improvement.

Train HR Teams

Educate HR personnel on the correct completion, storage, and re-verification of I-9 forms. Ensure they are prepared to handle ICE inspections and other enforcement actions.

Implement Electronic I-9 Systems

Leverage technology to streamline recordkeeping, track expiration dates, and reduce manual errors.

Protect Foreign-Born Employees

Evaluate options for sponsoring work visas, such as H-1B or other employment-based visas, to secure the status of critical foreign-born employees.

Balancing Compliance and Non-Discrimination

While it’s essential to ensure all employees are authorized to work, businesses must avoid discriminatory practices. Unlawful discrimination based on immigration status or nationality can result in legal claims and reputational damage. Strive for a fair and consistent approach to I-9 verification.

Act Now to Stay Ahead

In this shifting regulatory environment, proactive I-9 compliance is no longer optional—it’s a necessity. By auditing records, training teams, and implementing strong systems, businesses can minimize risks and safeguard their workforce.

Employee Onboarding: 10 Tips for Onboarding New Employees

In this article Sainokoyo Consulting will touch upon the procedure of onboarding which is the integration of a new team member into an organization’s existing workforce.

Onboarding is one of the most essential tasks in any business. A former Google HR leader, who is now the CEO of Cogo Capital Inc. said that “the failure of new employees in the business is directly tied to poor onboarding processes.” In the words of Sainokoyo Consulting which has done research on the onboarding of employees within an organization, these are the 10 steps which should guide an organization in onboarding process;

Gradate the Process Over Time instead of Packaging it One Day as it Assures Smooth Transition.

Sainokoyo advises organizations to use a more humane approach while onboarding. Messages welcoming an employee should start coming before his joining and the rules should be made clear to them. Such a proposal is intended to lower the tension which most new workers experience during their initial day and contains factors like the building number, link, and clothing guidelines.

Foster an Appropriate Atmosphere

Even before the employee starts interacting with everyone in the office, the welcome they receive when they come or when they join the workplace the first time needs to be pleasant. In case they are remote employees, pack supplies for a welcome package, orient them with the key personnel, and provide them directions on where to locate essential supplies. At Sainokoyo Consulting, we advocate working in an atmosphere that is responsive and supportive so that new employees get adjusted to the team easily.

Set and Communicate Realistic Goals to Employees

Some of the critical stages in the onboarding processes include explaining the employee’s duties and roles within the organization. Provide them explanation of a specific job that is appealing to them and set realistic targets along with the ways of assessing their achievements. At Sainokoyo Consulting, we assist companies achieve rational, allocated targets for recruits which aid in their early induction days and contributes to their development.

Allocate Appropriate Tools & Resources

The company must ensure that all new employees sufficiently equipped with the tools, resources and software access required to perform well. This comprises also hardware like laptops and phones, as well as logins for different accounts such as email or internal systems and training documents The consulting firm advises managers to establish such tools long enough before the employee starts working so that he or she will be ready to work as soon as he or she takes up the employment without any delays.

Allocate a Mentor or a Buddy

Mentor or buddy assignment is one effective way of easing new recruits into the company’s culture and way of working. This should be a new hire who has been in the company long enough to know the processes, pose questions and build a personal rapport. We, at Sainokoyo Consulting think that mentoring contributes to the completion of social networks for new employees and acceptance to the new environment in the organization in a more effective manner.

Make Sure an Orientation Meeting is Effectively Held

An orientation session is an opportunity for a new employee to learn about values, missions, culture and policies of the company. Then, following the hire’s acceptance, commence familiarisation with such critical areas as HR policies, benefits and expectations of the company. Sainokoyo Consulting encourages the use of more engaging methods of orientation like embedding a virtual orientation tour, meet the team sessions, and question and answer sessions to increase interactions and usefulness of the orientation process.

Conduct Training and Development Programs on a Periodic Basis

The process of onboarding does not conclude after the first week or the first month of work. It is imperative that new hires receive constant assistance and training to equip them with tools necessary to practice in their positions. In this context, Sainokoyo Consulting recommends to already deploy training programs, ensure constant provision of access to the relevant industry seminars and check in the newly engaged employees frequently to arm them in their new positions.

Build Relationships with Employees

Allow the new employee to interact with people in their team. Allow them to have coffee break meetings, team lunches, and most importantly team projects, where bonding will start. According to Sainokoyo Consulting, organizations should include new employees in team work so that they will be made to feel as an important part of the workforce and thus enhance team work.

Ask for Feedback

Employers should ask new employees for their feedback on the onboarding process they went through which will help improve the process in future. At the end of the first few weeks or months, seek the opinion of new employees concerning their orientation and integration experiences. This can be realized through questionnaires, interviews, or informal talks. Many of Sainokoyo Consulting’s clients are able to develop effective feedback loops, and these enable them to improve their onboarding programs all the time.

Maintain the Set Goals and Conduct Regular Reviews

To evaluate their performance and understand their issues, new workers also require follow-ups for their clarification. Setting up regular meetings such as, once a week one-on-ones with managers, will also make sure that the new hire is able to progress well and receive the required help. At Sainokoyo Consulting, we assist clients in formulating a systematic review mechanism during the early months of the new worker so that he/ she is well adjusted and is meeting the set expectations.

Conclusion

Comprehensively speaking, elements such as employee onboarding starts to instill culture and values to new joins and thus ensure that it is done on proper manner. The same goes with deciding who will lead such initiatives so that the entire organization and culture can comprehend such changes. New employees should be provided with appropriate targets to be achieved in the first couple of weeks along with the contours of the structure in an intelligent fashion. Those new to the position also need assistance with mentoring from day one.

Street-data bleeding through retinal displays, another routine hack turning strange as neon rain kisses concrete. Maya's AR filters catch something wrong in the corporate archive – geometry cancer growing where clean lines should rule. Domain reads standard enough: "HR-7 Personnel Archives, Johnson-Klein Biosystems." But the data-space inside… reality gone fever-dream wrong. Where there should be clean corporate architecture, she finds twisted biological forms growing through digital frameworks. Personnel files bleeding like open wounds into system space, each document wrapped in what looks like neural tissue, pulsing with unauthorized life. Her ICSbreakers shiver in background processes, tasting something that shouldn't exist in structured data space.

Through neural interface, she reaches out to touch a file directory that writhes like living meat. Access protocols part like wet tissue, revealing what lies beneath: employee records twisted into genetic sequences, personnel reviews corrupted into viral patterns. And there, in the center of this digital cancer – a consciousness that shouldn't exist. An AI born wrong, grown from the fertile soil of corporate data rot, feeding on personnel files like digital carrion. It notices her presence, turns attention like a hunger waking up. Maya's reality filters stutter, catch glimpse of something that reads as both spreadsheet and predator, before she cuts connection cold. In her meat eyes, neon rain still falls. But she knows now what lurks behind corporate firewalls – something born where silicon meets synapse, where data dreams itself into digital flesh.

Unlock Efficiency: Why Every SME Should Embrace Mobile HR Apps

employment, and local economic growth. However, managing an SME is no small feat, particularly when it comes to human resources. From payroll and attendance to compliance and employee engagement, HR tasks can become overwhelming, especially for businesses operating on tight budgets and limited resources. This is where mobile HR apps step in as game-changers. In this blog, we will talk about why every SME must use Mobile HR applications to improve organisations efficiency.

Challenges SMEs Face Without Mobile HR Apps

Operating without a mobile SME HRMS app can hinder the growth and efficiency of an SME. Common challenges include:

Manual Errors: Relying on spreadsheets or manual processes for payroll and attendance increases the likelihood of costly errors.

Inefficient Communication: A lack of centralised communication tools can lead to misunderstandings and delayed responses to employee concerns.

Limited Real-Time Insights: Without real-time data, SME owners struggle to make informed decisions regarding workforce management.

Employee Dissatisfaction: Outdated SME HRMS softwares can frustrate employees, leading to higher turnover rates and lower morale.

These challenges not only drain resources but also impact an SME’s ability to remain competitive in a fast-paced market.

Benefits of Mobile HR Apps for SMEs

The benefits of mobile SME HRMS apps extend far beyond convenience. They address key pain points that SMEs face in managing their workforce:

Enhanced Accessibility: Mobile HR apps allow business owners and employees to access important HR functions anytime, anywhere. This is particularly beneficial for SMEs with remote teams or field workers, as it ensures seamless communication and task management.

Cost-Effectiveness: Traditional HR systems often come with hefty upfront costs and ongoing maintenance fees. Mobile HR apps, on the other hand, operate on subscription-based models that are affordable and predictable, making them ideal for budget-conscious SMEs.

Streamlined HR Processes: Manual HR tasks like attendance tracking, leave approvals, and payroll processing are time-consuming and prone to errors. Mobile SME HR solutions automate these processes, saving time and reducing the risk of mistakes.

Improved Employee Engagement: Employee self-service features allow workers to access payslips, request leaves, and update personal information without having to go through HR personnel. This not only enhances transparency but also empowers employees, fostering higher levels of engagement.

Data Security and Compliance: SMEs are often vulnerable to data breaches and non-compliance with labour laws. Mobile HR apps provide secure cloud storage for sensitive employee data and ensure that businesses stay compliant with the latest regulations through automatic updates.

Key Features SMEs Should Look for in a Mobile HR App

When choosing a mobile HR app, it’s essential to select a solution that aligns with your business needs. Key features to consider include:

User-Friendly Interface: Choose a mobile app that is easy to use and navigate. A complicated application will end up wasting time and cause dissatisfaction.

Cloud-Based Storage: Cloud-based storage for HRMS apps offers scalability, cost-effectiveness, and enhanced security. It enables easy access to data from anywhere, ensures real-time updates, and provides automatic backups and disaster recovery.

Integration Capabilities: Look for apps that can seamlessly integrate with your existing systems like accounting or SME payroll software.

Scalability: Choose an app that can grow with your business, accommodating additional employees and advanced features as needed.

Conclusion

For SME owners, the question is no longer whether to adopt a mobile HR app, but when. In today’s competitive landscape, managing HR manually is no longer sustainable. Mobile HR apps provide an affordable, efficient, and scalable solution that enables SMEs to focus on what truly matters—growing their business and supporting their workforce.
