BUSINESS ALERTS
The following a brief note about the revised
statutory and regulatory changes to the Fair Share Contribution filing
program for Massachusetts employers:
About one month ago the Patrick Administration agreed to modify
the new quarterly FSC filing requirements so that most employers would
file annual FSC reports after December 31, 2008. Remember that the
simplified filing schedule affects the frequency of reporting only and
will NOT affect implementation of the "and" test effective January 1,
2009 for employers with more than 50 full-time equivalent employees.
If you would like more information on the above, please do not
hesitate to call our office at 978.921.4443.
"Starting a business is never easy, but working with Colucci Norman
