MA Governor Proposes Reinstating “Fair-Share” Assessment

by

Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker included a plan to reinstate the “fair-share contribution” formerly assessed against employers without a health insurance plan in his fiscal year 2018 budget.  The assessment would recommence as of January 1, 2018 if passed.  They are intended to partially cover the $600 million shortfall in the state healthcare system (Mass Health) for low-income residents. The fair-share contributions were repealed in 2013 with the advent of the Affordable Care Act.   For more detailed information check out the Associated Industries of Massachusetts blog.

Our February White Paper–Duplicate Forms W-2

by

It is now the season for the requests for duplicate copies of the Form W-2 to begin, if they haven’t already.  It amazes me how many people seem to “lose, misplace or never get” their Form W-2.   No matter how hard I work to remind them to check your address at the end of the year, watch your mail box, or better yet, get an electronic copy  you can’t “lose” I still get requests every year for duplicate-form-w-2-for-2016duplicates. So how should payroll handled duplicate requests?  Should you have your own form?  Is there a required time frame for reissuing?  Can I charge a fee?  These are just some of the questions we discuss in our February white paper.  We hope you find it interesting and informative.
