MP’s HR and payroll experts have created a brief, simple questionnaire to help employers determine if they might be eligible for the ERTC program. Just one “yes” answer could be enough for eligibility for this program. Download the questionnaire to find out if you may qualify.

5 State-Specific HR Compliance Considerations for Remote Workers
Employers with fully remote or hybrid remote work environments should be prepared for additional HR risk and compliance concerns, particularly if they have employees in different states.

HR and Payroll Compliance for Remote Workers: 6 Critical Considerations
In 2021 and 2022, organizations will permit employees to work remotely more than ever. While allowing remote work or hybrid remote work may improve employee engagement, it can also create more risk and legal exposure.

(This is true whether employers are aware of where remote employees are living and working, or if they aren’t. Even if employees move to a new state without telling their employers, the workplace is still subject to those local HR and payroll regulations.) Read the article to:
• Outline six key areas of payroll management and HR compliance remote employers must beware of
