The affordability of health insurance consistently ranks as one of the top worry-items for business owners. With health care costs hitting small employers particularly hard, you may find it hard to offer health benefits to your employees. We are proud to have the ability to provide great options for healthcare coverage and workers' compensation.
To learn more, contact your local insurance agent or a Chamber staff member for more information.

Next year's taxes: how your employees can save you money (Source: Inc.)
When President Biden signed the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act into law on Thursday, he authorized the extension of something important for small-business owners: the Employee Retention Credit, a refundable tax credit designed to make it easier to keep employees on payroll.
Originally scheduled to end on June 30, the ERC will continue at least through the end of 2021, giving business owners access to as much as $33,000 per employee in incentives between last year and this year. The credit will work slightly differently during the first and second halves of the year. From January 1 through June 30, eligible employers can claim refundable credits equal to 70 percent of a full-time employee’s qualified wages paid, against their share of Social Security tax. You can get a maximum of $14,000 in credits per employee.
On July 1, that’ll change. The new law allows businesses to claim the refundable credit against their share of employment taxes, including Medicare. Again, you can get a maximum of $14,000 per employee in credits this way, meaning business owners this year could qualify for up to $28,000 per worker, in total.
