    What is Play or Pay?

    What is Play or Pay?

     

     

    Beginning January 2014, employers with 50 or more
    full-time employees (including
    full-time equivalent employees) could find themselves subject to a tax penalty under the Play or Pay rules if they do not offer
    full-time employees the opportunity to enroll in "minimum essential coverage" that both (a) is affordable, and (b) provides a "minimum value."

    Failure to comply could subject the employer to penalties of $2,000 or $3,000 per employee, depending on the situation. These penalties are triggered if one or more full-time employees obtain coverage through a public exchange and receive a premium tax credit or
    cost-sharing subsidy.

    Oh joy…

    Enable Cisco Jabber Calendar Integration for all users or one user

     

    I recently had to update all the users to have calendar integration for a customer.  This little nugget gets the job done;

     

    -          run sql update enduser set enablecalendarpresence='t'

     

    You can also do this for just one use if you want with this command;

     

    -          run sql execute procedure spSetUserCalendaring((select pkid from enduser where userid=’juser’),’t',’t')   That would be for “Joe User”.

     

    We have this customer on 8.6.4 SU2 Cisco CUPS Presence version.  It worked like a charm.   We will be upgrading soon to Cisco IM and Presence 9.1 and I’ll see how this goes on that version.  Clients are using Cisco 9971 and 7965 / 7945 IP phones with Jabber for Windows, Jabber for iPhone and Jabber for iPad.  We are having a  few issues with Jabber for Android based on our current phones.  Apple products seem to be much more consistent with Jabber.

     

    This application really is excellent and delivers some real benefits to any organization with Cisco IP phones.  HTH.

     

    Cheers,

    Doug
