There have been evolving concerns for employers due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as confusion about the new CARES Act, passed on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act is part of the federal government’s compilation of economic stimulus legislation intended to aid the American people during this unprecedented time. In this practical webinar, you will discuss the relevant provisions of Title II of the CARES Act, as well as recommendations on general employment practices to support the health of your business as we move forward from COVID-19.
Upon course completion, you will be able to:
- Outline the unemployment insurance provisions in the CARES Act, which include:
- An additional $600 per week and no “waiting” week for State eligible unemployed;
- An additional 13 weeks of unemployment benefits for all unemployment benefits recipients; and
- Unemployment Benefits for Many Currently Ineligible for Benefits.
- Determine whether short-term compensation programs or “work sharing” are options for your workforce.
- Address rebates and other individual provisions contained in the CARES Act, including 2020 recover rebates to individuals, increased participant loan limits and repayment, enhanced distribution options for retirement funds, continued participation in employer group health plan during a furlough, and charitable contributions.
- Identify the business provisions contained in the CARES Act, including employee retention credits, amount of tax credit under Section 2301, deferral of payroll tax, net operating losses, and alternative minimum tax.
- Explain the amendment to the New Jersey WARN Act to provide exemptions that include the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Apply employer best practices to your workforce as businesses move forward from COVID-19.

Can I attend using a tablet or smartphone?
Yes. You may attend a webinar using a computer, tablet or smartphone.
If I can’t attend a webinar live, can I view the recording later?
