SBA’s economic injury disaster loans and advance program reopened
|
|
This includes:
- SBA’s COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) and EIDL Advance and can be used to pay debts, payroll, accounts payable and other bills that can’t be paid because of the disaster’s impact and that are not already covered by a Paycheck Protection Program loan. The nonprofit interest rate is 2.75%. The first payment is deferred for one year with up to 30 years to repay.
- In addition, as part of the EIDL loan application, a nonprofit can receive an advance of up to $10,000. This advance will not have to be repaid, and small businesses may receive an advance even if they are not approved for a loan.

8 coronavirus return-to-work best practices for employers
|
|
By Jeremy York, HR specialist, Synergy
Each day, more cities and states seek to open up and ease social distancing restrictions brought on by COVID-19. As the curve flattens, businesses are getting the green light to open their doors to employees once again.
However, no company can flip a switch and return their operations to the way they were at the start of 2020. When considering bringing employees back into the office, it’s essential to consider a number of best practices that will keep your people safe.
Stagger employee shifts
Scientists say that social distancing is the key to slowing the spread of coronavirus, and it will continue to be a factor in employment environments everywhere until a vaccine and cure are available. This has been proven by
workplaces in Asia that have opened again. They have created staggered employee schedules to limit the number of people in the office at any one time.
Consider asking half your workforce to work remotely on certain days while having the other half work on other days. An every-other-day or similar alternating schedule equates to half the usual number of people in your office.
