Mismanaged Files Can Cost You Big Time!

  • Did you know that most banks will charge you $5 to reprint a lost statement, $2 to print a copy of a canceled check and $40 per hour to research your account?
  • A late payment on a forgotten bill can range between $5-$35; not to mention the negative impact it will have on your credit score.

  • The loss of receipts and warranties can keep you from returning or repairing defective merchandise.

  • You can waste several hours of your time searching for a lost document. If you charged yourself a meager wage of $10/hour and spent four hours searching a document (i.e. 2004 tax returns)--that’s $40! Now imagine searching for several documents in one year…


In short, when you mismanage your files you are costing yourself money. Take the time to arrange your files in an easy-to-use filing system where you can add or remove files without compromising the flow of your system. The Smead Viewables® Color Labeling System allows you to manage your files with ease using a color coding system that proves to be more efficient than traditional labels.

If you don’t have time to set up your own filing system, call Emplayce and we’ll set it up for you. The average filing system of 80 files takes approximately 6 hours to create using Viewables® (this excludes the actual filing).
