Thursday, April 29, 2021, Ed Dowd, Executive Director of the Mattoon Chamber of Commerce was a guest on 101.3 WMCI. Here is a brief description of what he covered during the interview:
- COVID-19 Vaccination Tax Credit for Small Businesses: The American Rescue Plan offers a paid leave tax credit to offset the costs for businesses with fewer than 500 employees up to 80 hours and $511 per day of paid sick leave for any employees that need time off to get the COVID vaccine and time needed to recover from being vaccinated. All the details of the program are available at IRS.gov. We also have the link available on our website. This is another incentive for businesses to get their employees vaccinated and get our economy back to normal.
- Help Wanted: Nearly all of our local businesses in virtually every field are needing employees. This is the best time to find work with any job that people are skilled at or interested in. If your listeners have any questions about what opportunities are available they can contact us at the Chamber and we can guide them as to what is available. As always continue to shop, dine and use local services for all of your needs.
