Press Release Body = Phoenix (June 08, 2007)There's little question that an employee
who enjoys being at work and enjoys doing their work will be more productive. But as
it turns out financial compensation is far from the only way to bolster employee
morale. And while the security of employee benefits packages and retirement plans
help create a positive workplace and a satisfied employee, they are not immediately
gratifying or, more importantly, encouraging to employees. More and more, however,
employers are coming to find that their employees are placing a great deal of
emphasis on flexible environments and flexible scheduling. This is increasingly
true, as the amount of time demanded by employers has begun to cut into personal and
family time to the psychological, physical, and productive detriment of the worker.

For instance, according to The Families and Work Institute, 67 percent of employees
report high levels of employee job satisfaction in organizations with high levels of
workplace flexibility, versus 23 percent in organizations with low levels of
flexibility. On the flip side, it is reported that 72 percent of employees plan to
remain with their employers for the next year in organizations with high levels of
workplace flexibility, versus 49 percent of organizations with low levels of
flexibility.

How does this impact the bottom line? According to the "The Families and Work
Institute" report, companies with highly committed employees had a 112 percent
return to shareholders over three years, compared to 90 percent for companies with
average commitment, and 76 percent for companies with low commitment.

So it is that forward thinking companies such as AmCheck, a national provider of
Payroll Services and Professional Employer Organization (PEO) services, are taking
note of such trends and adjusting to create the most positive and productive
workplace possible. Recently, AmCheck implemented an extended lunch time program
called "Super Lunch" for all FULL TIME employees. Once a month full time employees
are allowed, and even encouraged to take a three hour (2 hours paid) lunch break.
Scheduled two weeks in advance, this extended lunch hour and may be used for
shopping, errands, workouts, movies, etc.

While it does not accrue if unused and is not paid out upon termination, it has
created a pleasant buzz about the AmCheck offices. According to Account Executive
Toni Beckner, "I think it's really great. I have never worked for a company that
does this and it is really great. I think it improves your productivity because you
have something to look forward to and you come back recharged. It definitely
improves morale."

"We wanted to do something that could create happier employees to improve job
satisfaction and ultimately productivity," says AmCheck President Dean Lucente. It
seems to have paid off. For as Lucente reports, "Everyone enjoys having it. The
couple of hours we loose of productivity we gain back in many ways that are
intangible."

AmCheck understands that an employee with a positive attitude impacts the bottom
line in a positive way. As such AmCheck is making institutional and cultural changes
to harness the power of that dynamic.
