RESOURCES
We are eager to help small business owners with solutions to continue employing, supporting, and paying their employees during the Covid 19 pandemic. There are several resources to support business and their employees based on specific situations. Below is a summary of business and payroll related benefits that may be available. Please contact your local Payroll Vault office to support administration of your resources and credits. Important item to note, please let your Payroll Vault representative know if you have taken advantage of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and if so, have you been granted forgiveness. This will affect how you can utilize available programs. We also expect several continued updates and changes to current resources and legislation.
Small Business Relief, PPP Loans, EIDL Loans, Forgiveness & Grants
Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA)
What is it: Employers with under 500 employees are required to provide family leave and/or sick pay to their employees who become sick with Covid-19, are required to quarantine, are caring for someone with Covid-19, or are caring for a child who is not able to attend school or daycare due to mandated closures. The FFCRA provides a credit for up to 100% of the employee’s wages for sick or quarantine pay and up to 2/3 for other care or child care.
Collecting information: If employees need to take time off for any of the above reasons, you will need to collect documentation and may need to track the hours via a timekeeping solution.
How it works: The credit is taken against federal payroll taxes and is immediately available as you run payroll. If the credit exceeds the tax total due, you can submit a form to the IRS to receive a refund for the difference.
Contact your local Payroll Vault office today to take advantage of this credit. If you have received PPP or EIDL funding, you can still take advantage of this credit, but there are details to consider. Your local Payroll Vault office is happy to help.
