As I mentioned yesterday, the situation in the Senate was very fluid. About an hour after I sent my email, the Senate reversed course and approved the bill from the House for the PPP forgiveness relief.

Also, below are a couple of articles that explain the new options with the latest legislation. This has been sent to the President for his signature, which is supposed to happen this evening or tomorrow.

We have plans to study up on all the new changes, and we will be available next week for questions if you would like to review your PPP status.

Today’s downloads:

We had a great webinar today to go over all the new features and functionality in our HRIS system. Our plan is to provide these webinars weekly to review the technology changes our clients have access to. We will also use this time to answer questions on any HR functions or issues. They will be on Thursdays at 3 PM CST every week.
