Thursday, June 17 | Telework and other employer challenges in 2021 and beyond (3:30 pm ET)

COVID-19 impacts continue to challenge employers, particularly around the demand for telework arrangements after state and local mandatory work-from-home orders have expired. Another challenge is the lasting impact COVID-19 unemployment insurance claims will have on current and future unemployment insurance costs as many states grapple with how they will finance trust-fund shortages.

To help you navigate these topics, our panelists will bring together their insights and experience to discuss:

  • COVID-19 unemployment benefit claims and the impact on employers’ current and future
    state unemployment insurance costs
  • The employer’s role in managing unemployment insurance fraud
  • Identifying work and resident location for teleworkers and why it matters
  • Multistate payroll tax implications for hybrid teleworkers
  • Teleworker payroll tax calculations – case studies
  • Teleworker tax legislation and legal challenges
  • Employer considerations in evaluating and managing telework arrangements
