I did not personally write the checks but I did have budgets for labor,

them rather well over 27 years. I've spent some time with the labor
board too. Never lost. We also used temp labor for some unskilled
jobs. Total about 15 employees.



I signed the checks for a business but even then it was not the same as
signing checks for my own small business. When it is your money you
think
a bit longer and harder about signing that check.


Authorizing the check to be written directly affected my bonus and
profit sharing.

Mine too. But with "my" business I also put more thought into things
other than business related. Vacation this year? Lots more goes into
this when using my money, do I want to eat this week, can I wait to pay
a bill until next week?

It makes a big difference when some one else is spending "your" money.
