PrimePay Introducing New HCM Innovations at 2023 HR Tech Conference


“In the current economic climate, our clients are facing employee engagement and retention challenges while their employees are suffering from financial pressures which impact the stability and quality of their lives,” said Scott Johnson, CEO of PrimePay. “The new capabilities in PrimePay HCM help HR leaders cultivate employee engagement and retention, while complying with workplace requirements.”

Key enhancements of PrimePay HCM include:

  • Total compensation: Employees are now able to view the full value of their compensation including salary, bonus, benefits, and PTO, helping an employee to understand what they receive in their total compensation package while assisting employers with their retention efforts.
  • Workplace safety reporting: Employees are now able to report safety hazards, accidents, and other incidents for OSHA and other reporting requirements in manufacturing, healthcare, retail, and other high-hazard establishments.
  • Employee license and certification management: Employees can now receive reminders of expirations and easily search and add licenses or certifications to their profiles for healthcare, manufacturing, education, social work, construction, and other high-compliance industries.
  • Mobile-first employee self-service (ESS): Employees receive improved mobile-first access to self-service onboarding, pay stub, direct deposit, taxes, benefits, timeline, and other information. The new experience is also available in Spanish, Simplified Chinese, and other languages.

“PrimePay brings an exciting, innovative technology that is designed to enhance our employee experience and to improve our ability to gain insights through data,” said Jenn Bleil, Senior Vice President, Human Resources at Aspirion. “We’re thrilled to be working with PrimePay, and we recognize the impact that this technology can make as we continue to build a culture that inspires our teammates to achieve their best to support our clients and each other.”

HR Tech Conference attendees can see these enhancements at Booth #911, where PrimePay experts will showcase its unique position-based HCM SaaS platform. Unlike legacy HCM software, PrimePay’s patented HCM SaaS provides HR and finance leaders with real-time and historical insight for staffing, organization modeling, retention, and other areas for strategic planning and decision-making.

Introducing ExpoDisc v3 Professional White Balance Filter


ExpoDisc v3 Full Spectrum White Balance: Even Better White Balance in the Visible Spectrum and Beyond

The improved performance of the new materials even extends into the near infrared spectrum (700-2200nm), and now enables use of the ExpoDisc v3 for setting white balance when photographing with an IR camera.

New Bayonet Mount Allows for Quick Attachment and Removal from Lenses

The ExpoDisc v3 filter is sized for use with 82mm lenses, and it can be comfortably held over the front of 82mm or smaller lenses. For photographers who prefer to mount the ExpoDisc to their lens, the ExpoDisc v3 incorporates a new bayonet mount to quickly attach the ExpoDisc to their lens using the new 82mm or 77mm ExpoDisc v3 step rings. Standard third-party step rings (sold separately) can also be combined with the 82mm or 77mm ExpoDisc v3 step rings to attach the ExpoDisc to smaller lenses.

Thinner and Lighter

ExpoDisc v3 is thinner and lighter than previous ExpoDisc models at only 9mm thin and just 1 oz. This makes ExpoDisc v3 easier to hold over your lens when setting a white balance, and more comfortable to slip into your pocket when you’re not using it.

Still Assembled, Tested, and Certified in the USA for Accuracy

Every ExpoDisc v3 is assembled, tested and certified at ExpoImaging’s California facility on a transmission spectrophotometer to ensure its neutrality. This is important because a non-neutral white balance tool will introduce a color cast to images. ExpoDisc v3’s quality control process ensures that every ExpoDisc v3 meets strict standards for light transmission in order to deliver good color balance and accuracy.

Available Online and Through Specialty Photographic Resellers

ExpoDisc v3 Professional White Balance Filters are available through specialty photo dealers and online at www.expodisc.com. The retail price of the ExpoDisc v3 remains unchanged at $49.95. Multi lingual instructions for the ExpoDisc v3 are available for download and currently available in English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish.

About ExpoImaging, Inc.

Founded in 2004, ExpoImaging, Inc. designs, manufactures and distributes camera and lighting accessories to the photographic market. Based in Santa Cruz County, California, ExpoImaging manufactures ExpoDisc White Balance Filters (www.expodisc.com), Rogue FlashBenders (www.rogueflash.com), Rogue Round Flash Magnetic Light Modifiers, and distributes Nissin Digital flashes in the U.S. and Canada (www.nissindigital.us).

Switching focus from video editing for our annual local non-profit fundraiser to analytics reporting for one of our metals processors who generate billions in yearly revenue… that takes humility and intelligence… understanding all things are equal while being 100% unique. Our new President and VP of Marketing understand our legacy.”

HashCash CEO Raj Chowdhury is Optimistic About the Potential of Cryptocurrency to Create a World Without Boundaries


CEO of HashCash Consultants and Bitcoin Maximalist, Raj Chowdhury asserts, “In the ongoing battle between humanity and technology, it is often the latter that emerges victorious. A perfect example is the advent of cryptocurrency, which has the capacity to usher in a world free of geographic and financial limitations.”

The adoption of cryptocurrencies as legal tender worldwide could streamline cross-border transactions, travel, and shopping. Nevertheless, it may make a significant percentage of financial service providers redundant. Conversely, fiat currencies give countries the ability to manage their economy by adjusting interest rates according to their needs. A universal cryptocurrency, however, would eliminate this leverage, leaving countries with minimal scope to enhance their economy or increase the value of their fiat currencies. Nonetheless, it could also potentially bring an end to ongoing conflicts between nations and promote global equality.

“As we progress towards a more digitally-driven future, the concept of a global currency becomes increasingly viable, and I firmly assert that cryptocurrencies will serve as a crucial tool in realizing this objective,” concluded Chowdhury.
The US-based blockchain development company HashCash Consultants has developed several products and offered services to over 26 countries. Products such as crypto payment processors, and white-label crypto exchange platforms are trending among retailers in the US and other countries. HashCash was recently listed as the top blockchain development company by a global research firm.

In summary, although the extensive use of digital currencies could pose some advantages and drawbacks, it has the extraordinary capacity to establish a world free of limits. This world would eradicate the obstacles of financial transactions and encourage equality worldwide.

About Raj Chowdhury:

Raj Chowdhury is the Managing Director of HashCash Consultants and Paybito. Raj pioneered the first interbank Trade Finance and Remittance implementation of Blockchain Technology between two of the largest global banks. Raj is an eminent voice in the Blockchain and Cryptocurrency space and actively engages with policymakers in this area. He is a contributor to the Economic Times, Business World, and CNNMoney and advises industry leaders in the adoption of Blockchain. He is a member of Asha Silicon Valley, a nonprofit committed to education for children in emerging countries. Author of the book ‘The Dark Secret of the Silicon Valley’, Raj is an investor in blockchain and cryptocurrency companies and an active member of the philanthropic community.
