(Virtual) Adjusting to the Teleworking Environment: Tax and Employment Laws to Consider

Registration for this event is now closed. Please email CBM’s marketing coordinator, Austen Schweber, if you wish to receive the presentation slides.

COVID-19 has upended how businesses operate, leading many owners to learn, nearly overnight, how to navigate the complexities and challenges of a virtual workforce. These sudden changes introduce an array of tax and legal considerations for employers when determining their employees’ eligibility to work remotely and how to shape their return to work office guidelines.

On Tuesday, September 15, from 11 am to 12 pm EST, join Senior Vice President Judy Barnhard, CPA, CFP®, CFDA® of Councilor, Buchanan & Mitchell, an accounting and advisory firm, and Thomas L. McCally, Partner and Leader of the Employment and Labor Law Practice Group at Carr Maloney P.C., a DC-area law firm, as they address the following:

• Tax considerations for employers and employees—payroll (including reciprocal agreements between states), withholding and state unemployment
• Requirements of various federal, state and local agencies including OSHA and CDC
• Compliance requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act and the Family Medical and Leave Act
• Employment policies related to childcare and eligibility for virtual work
• The impact of remote work on nexus with other states, potentially triggering business income, sales, and other property taxes
• The apportionment method commonly used in the DMV to calculate tax by state

It has been five months since COVID-19 introduced the Washington, D.C. metropolitan region and the rest of the country to remote work. Now more than ever, business owners must educate themselves on these issues to ensure compliance with local, state, and federal authorities while successfully managing the sustainability of their business.

Join Carr Maloney P.C. and Councilor, Buchanan & Mitchell, P.C. on September 15 for a comprehensive outlook on the ongoing legal and tax considerations for a remote workforce.

This event is now closed to new registrations.
