Implications of COVID-19 & Stay Home, Stay Safe

This webinar was designed for business owners and key management individuals. Even if you are self-employed or the company’s only employee, the discussion centers on an employer perspective and a key principle: do what is right for the long-term success of the business.

Topics covered:

• Employer obligations under COVID-19 stay-home orders
• Sick leave and payroll implications
• Family First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) updates
• Tax credits available for employers providing paid leave
• Practical guidance for keeping your business viable during the shutdown

Updates incorporated:

• The credit on family sick leave appears to not limit to employers with fewer than 50 employees — businesses with more than 50 employees may also qualify.
• The IRS indicated there would be an expedited process for recovering over-payments through payroll taxes, with details to follow.
