Subject: Does anybody know yet? 11th hour change to EST Act about nonprofits?

 

 

This morning, our finance team received a memo containing the following statement:

 

The definition of "employer" expressly exempts a "nonprofit agency" from its definition. Beyond this, the legislation does not provide exemptions for any businesses or organizations (though see “accrual” for new rules regarding small businesses).

 

Does this exemption refer to certified nonprofits or nonprofits categorized by tax code?

 

Does our financial people have it wrong?

 

I would appreciate any clarification on this matter.

 

Thank you, 

John
