What employees do you want to know about?

Management? Sales? Call center?

For the three month period ended May 31, 2014, consulting fees decreased to $25,900, as compared to consulting fees of $51,849 for the same period in the prior year, and represented a decrease of $25,949. The decrease in consulting fees is primarily related to our reliance on internal employees during the period. In the previous period of 2013 we were involved in the recoding of our platform which incurred a higher level of consulting fees. For the remainder of 2014 we’ll continue to incur consulting fees on an as needed basis.

Curious, do click farm workers in Bangkok count as employees? Or, no, I guess they are more like independent contractors. Probably the same with people who are paid to navigate to a website with the Alexa toolbar to temporarily inflate the page's ranking. Maybe SG could talk about whether he is familiar with that?
