Customers‟ acceptance of mobile payment (MP) procedures mainly depends on the issues of cost, security, and convenience.
The growth of mobile commerce depends on widely accepted mobile payment systems. Although new mobile payment systems have been increasingly introduced in Asia, Europe and the United States, their adoption has remained modest. Little research has been conducted to examine and explain adopters‟ views on the new payment technology. In this article, we explore merchant adoption of mobile payment systems empirically and discuss factors that drive and inhibit their adoption.
Our results suggest that the main adoption drivers are related to the means of increasing sales or reducing the costs of payment processing, whereas the barriers to adoption include complexity of the systems, unfavorable revenue sharing models, lack of critical mass, and lack of standardization. Based on our findings, we propose a conceptual framework of adoption enablers, drivers and barriers with propositions to guide future research in this emerging area. Implications for practice and means to overcome the barriers are

The Equal employment opportunity act 1984 was passed through the Western Australian parliament in 1984 with the purpose of eliminating discrimination and promoting recognition and acceptance of men and women in the workplace. Some of the ways people can be discriminated against are due to sex, race, religion and age. During recruitment for example, employment should be awarded to the best candidate for the position and not because of sex, race, religion or age to name a few. When working we need to respect and accept our colleagues individuality's and treat them in a fair and professional way, treating them how we wish to be treated. If during employment an employee feels they have been treated less favourably then this can be grounds for a complaint to be made.

A recent argument among health care providers and payers is in regards to the level of patient care required for reimbursement. Some payers are now refusing to pay for services that are rendered twice due to the ineffectiveness of the initial treatment.

One of the reasons why square grew so rapidly is because Square focused on small business owners. Since the small businesses are barely starting to grow they can’t afford to pay expensive merchant services, but they don’t want to lose the business of the people that use credit and debit cards.
