Executive brief: Economic Stimulus... what it means and what's next
From the May 2009 issue of Ceridian Connection.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and the new COBRA subsidy are important in their own right; but they're also a sign of the times -- leading indicators of new thinking in Washington about the role of government in the economy.
First things first: employers need to make sure they understand and are in compliance with the new economic stimulus law, including the Making Work Pay payroll tax credit and the COBRA premium subsidy.
But employers also need to have their eyes on the horizon to stay ahead of the fast-changing curve of HR and payroll compliance. 2009 represents a New Year in many ways -- but from a compliance perspective it represents a dramatic break with the past 25 years. Successful employers will stay alert to change; keep informed about new requirements; and make compliance a top priority.
In this Executive Brief, Ceridian's policy expert in Washington, Jim O'Connell provides a comprehensive overview of the recent economic stimulus... what it means and what's next.
