A Message from URCC Member Complete Payroll Solutions about the Employee Retention Tax Credit

Under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act 2021, the Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC) program end date was September 30, 2021, although recovery startup businesses remained eligible to pay qualified wages through December 31, 2021, thanks to the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.

But the benefits of the ERTC program didn’t stop then. Employers can still take advantage of the program retroactively. In fact, employers have up to three years from September 30, 2021, to determine if they have qualified employee wages paid to employees after March 12, 2020.

Complete Payroll Solutions has been providing guidance to their more than 10,000 clients on how to benefit from available relief programs to help them continue to make payroll.
