SUMMARY:Determining Employee Retention Credit Eligibility for Healthcare Organizations: Facts and Misconceptions
DESCRIPTION:This event has concluded. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHealthcare organizations that were battered during the COVID-19 pandemic received some relief through the Employee Retention Credit (ERC)\, released under the CARES Act.  But many organizations have yet to realize the full potential of the ERC. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis webinar will review how healthcare facilities can claim the Employee Retention Credit before the program ends in 2025. Attendees will discover the truth behind common misconceptions and gain a comprehensive understanding of eligibility requirements. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar attendees will see an “ERC 101” overview\, clear up some misconceptions about the credit\, and discuss what to look for in an ERC advisor.
