Young Professionals Look Ahead
YP Look Ahead A LOOK AHEAD FOR OUR 2020 YPS
BY: KATIE ROUTH, DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATION At the close of 2019, our Young Professionals membership had reached a total of 85 members, up from 64 in 2018. Three months into 2020, our numbers are continuing to rise as we have already hit a membership total of 86 Young Professionals and continue to accept additional Contractor member registrations. A 2018 strategic initiative of the Pelican Chapter was to increase engagement amongst the young professionals within our membership. Not only has the participation from contractor members increased, but in 2018, the ABC Pelican Young Professionals Executive Committee made the decision to open-up membership to non-contractor member young professionals; historically, the YP Group was closed to contractor members only. Although the non-contractor members are required to submit nominations and are reviewed by the YP executive committee for approval to join, we have seen great interest from this sector of membership! As we continue to encourage involvement amongst the young professionals, we have also continued to develop new, exciting, fun and educational opportunities for this group. As you may have seen in the Winter 2019 newsletter, this group participated in several volunteer events, heard from past and present Board Chairmen and learned that we need them to stay engaged as we continue to pursue the mission and vision of ABC Pelican. These up and coming young leaders are the future of ABC and the construction industry. So what do we have in store for 2020? As announced at the Young Professionals Kick-Off event at the Mid-City Beer Garden on Government Street, the 2020 Young Professionals group will be offered the following opportunities (barring any additional cancellation caused by the COVID-19 outbreak). •Leadership Panel Luncheon – May 27 @ Baton Rouge Training Center (again, as mentioned, this event will only take place if deemed safe enough to do so) •Young Professionals Reception – July 29 @ Hilton SanDestin – ABC of Louisiana State Convention •Young Professionals/Past Presidents Council Meet & Greet – September 9 @ Baton Rouge Country Club •LSU Construction Management Fundraiser Volunteer Event – October 16th @ TBD •End of Year Young Professionals [Presentation & Social] – Date/Location TBD *Dodgeball Tournament – Date and location TBD. Details coming soon *Stay tuned for additional events and volunteer opportunities We thank our membership for your commitment to passing the torch to the next generation of leadership within ABC and the construction industry by keeping your Young Professionals engaged and informed. We look forward to the year ahead. For more information on joining ABC Pelican Young Professionals, contact krouth@abcpelican.com or visit our website, www.abcpelican.org/youngprofessionals.
hospital construction, construction of long-term care facilities, public works construction, and housing construction •Construction Engineers •Building management and maintenance The additional examples also included Critical Trades: Building and Construction Tradesmen and Tradeswomen, and other trades including but not limited to: •Plumbers •Electricians •Exterminators •Cleaning and janitorial staff for commercial and governmental properties •Operating engineers •HVAC •Painting •Moving and relocation services ABC has been in constant discussions with Governor Edwards’ Administration since COVID-19 cases began growing in Louisiana. We’ve provided valuable information and answered industry specific questions regarding the essential role of the construction industry during this outbreak. State Legislative Response On March 16, 2020 after meeting with medical professionals, fellow legislators, and other state officials, Senate President Page Cortez and Speaker of the House of Representatives Clay Schexnayder, decided to temporarily adjourn the 2020 Regular Legislative Session until March 31, 2020. Medical professionals anticipated that rapid growth could put a strain on health care access and facilities. That rapid growth is best curbed by social distancing. With that in mind, the decision to temporarily adjourn was made. “The public health crisis at hand has placed the legislature in unchartered waters,” said President Cortez. “With every decision we make, we are balancing the health and welfare of our citizens, staff, and legislators with our constitutional responsibilities. At this time, we believe it is in the best interest of our state to temporarily adjourn the session.” Legislators have been directed by Senate and House leadership to contact those stakeholders and citizens who have requested bills to update them on the status of the session. All involved are encouraged to work together via telephone and e-mail to finalize potential issues with legislation so that those issues can be addressed when the legislature convenes again. “While the matters being considered at the legislative session are important, nothing is more important than the safety and welfare of each and every Louisiana citizen,” added Speaker Schexnayder. “The President and I have been in constant communication about what is best for the state and at this point, the best course of action is to adjourn temporarily and come back ready to work when the risk has diminished.” The President and the Speaker continue to encourage everyone to take the proactive steps recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to protect the health of themselves and those around them and remind constituents that social distancing and immediate testing for symptomatic individuals are the best tools to slow down the spread of the virus. Legislative leadership will continue to diligently monitor the spread of COVID-19 and its impact on the state. The President and the Speaker will be in constant communication regarding future decisions concerning the legislative session. Federal Response President Trump recently signed the CARES (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security) Act. This sweeping, $2 trillion coronavirus relief package will provide immediate assistance to many Americans, small businesses and major industries during the ongoing pandemic. Below are the major takeaways from ABC National on the bill’s small business and tax provisions Paycheck Protection Program Overview: The bill authorizes $2 trillion in federal funding for programs to support our nation’s hospitals and businesses, and the most critical of these programs for ABC and our members (a majority of which are small businesses) is the Paycheck Protection Program that authorizes $349 billion in forgivable loans from the Small Business Administration. PPP loans must be made during the period prior to June 30, 2020. The bill defines eligibility for these loans as a small business, 501(c)(3) nonprofit, a 501(c)(19) veteran’s organization, or Tribal business concern described in section 31(b)(2)(C) of the Small Business Act with not more than 500 employees, or the applicable size standard for the industry as provided by SBA, if higher. It also includes sole-proprietors, independent contractors, and other self-employed individuals as eligible for loans and allows businesses with more than one physical location that employs no more than 500 employees per physical location in certain industries, mainly franchise and food services, to be eligible.
CONTINUED ON PAGE 53
The bill requires eligible borrowers to make a good faith certification that the loan is necessary due to the uncertainty of current economic conditions caused by COVID-19, and that they will use the funds to retain workers and maintain payroll, lease, and utility payments; and are not receiving duplicative funds for the same uses from another SBA program.
PPP Loans: PPP loans can be as large as 250% of a business’s average monthly payroll costs over the last 12 months, however, the maximum loan amount under this program is $10 million through December 31, 2020. It also specifies allowable uses of the loan to include payroll support, such as employee salaries, paid sick or medical leave, insurance premiums, and mortgage, rent, and utility payments.
PPP loans are made by SBA-certified lenders (over 800 financial institutions currently), in all 50 states, through delegated authority from the SBA. In addition, the SBA Administrator and Secretary of Treasury may further authorize additional lenders to join the program, as needed. SBA-certified lenders simply need to verify that a small business was in operation on February 15, 2020, and paid employee salaries and payroll taxes or paid independent contractors, as reported on Form 1099- MISC, for eligibility in the PPP.
The SBA is required to issue regulations on the application process within 15 days after the enactment of the CARES Act, and ABC will be sure to provide updates on any agency guidance that comes out.
Loan Forgiveness: Principal amounts on PPP loans, for the first 8-week period from when the PPP Loan is made, may be forgiven, if loan funds are used to cover payroll costs, interest payments on mortgages (not including prepayments or principal), rent and utilities.
The amount of a PPP loan that may be forgiven cannot exceed the principal amount of the loan. The amount forgiven will be reduced proportionally by any reduction in employees retained compared to the prior year and reduced by the reduction in pay of any employee beyond 25 percent of their prior year compensation. To encourage employers to rehire any employees who have already been laid off due to the COVID-19 crisis, borrowers that re-hire workers previously laid off will not be penalized for having a reduced payroll at the beginning of the period. Tax Provisions: Other critical provisions in the bill include tax provisions that will help businesses maintain liquidity through this national crisis.
•Retention Tax Credit. Creates a refundable payroll tax credit for 50 percent of wages paid by employers to employees during the COVID-19 crisis.
•Qualifying Employers are those whose (1) operations were fully or partially suspended, due to a COVID-19-related shut- down order, or (2) gross receipts declined by more than 50 percent when compared to the same quarter in the prior year. •For employers with greater than 100 full-time employees, qualified wages are wages paid to employees when they are not providing services due to the COVID-19-related circumstances described above. •For eligible employers with 100 or fewer full-time employees, all employee wages qualify for the credit, whether the employer is open for business or subject to a shut-down order. •The credit is capped at $10,000/quarter per employee, including health benefits paid. •The credit is provided for wages paid or incurred from 3/13/2020 through 12/31/2020.
•Delay of payment of employer payroll taxes. Payment would be due over the course of two years with half due 12/31/2021 and the balance due 12/31/2022.
•Modification for net operating losses (NOL). This provision would allow five-year carryback for 2018, 2019, and 2020 tax years, respectively.

business? The Department of Homeland Security has issued guidance as to what may be considered an essential critical infrastructure workforce. While this list is advisory in nature, and not considered to be a federal law or standard, it provides some direction as to the workers and businesses that may be considered critical. Healthcare and public health workers of various types are described on the list, as well as law enforcement, public safety and first responders. Certain workers in the food and agriculture industry are listed, as well as certain workers in the energy, utility, transportation, communication, information technology, manufacturing, financial services and other related sectors. More information can be found at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency of the Department of Homeland Security: www.cisa.gov. expenses could also make filing insurance claims more expedient. Can a law be suspended in an emergency? According to guidance[1] published by the Louisiana Attorney General, the Louisiana Constitution vests the Louisiana Legislature with the authority to suspend laws via joint resolution. Have legal deadlines been extended? Under Proclamation Number JBE 2020-30, issued on March 16, 2020, by Governor John Bel Edwards, all legal deadlines have been suspended until April 13, 2020. This includes all liberative prescription and preemptive periods applicable to legal proceedings, as well as tax legal proceedings, and legal proceedings of administrative agencies and boards. LEGAL update CONTINUED from page 22
Can I terminate my employees? Generally, you are not prohibited from terminating at-will employees for a legitimate business reason, so long as you comply with all generally applicable employment laws, including the WARN Act and COBRA. You must also timely pay the employees all wages, compensation, commissions and accrued benefits that are owed as of the date of termination. However, Families First Coronavirus Response Act (H.R. 6201) includes an anti-retaliation provision which prevents the employer from discharging, disciplining, or in any way discriminating against an employee who takes leave under the Act or seeks to enforce the Act against his or her employer. And, under the legislation, an employer cannot require employees to find a replacement worker or require them to use other paid time off. Can I take a hardship distribution from my retirement plan or IRA to cover COVID-19 issues? The proposed Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES ACT), as currently drafted, has certain provisions intended to allow individuals impacted by COVID-19 more access to funds via retirement plan hardship and loan rules. These revisions have not yet been passed by Congress, but we are continuing to monitor the draft legislation. Should I track my COVID-19 costs and expenses separately? Business and individuals should consider tracking their costs and expenses associated with the COVID-19 pandemic separately from ordinary costs and expenses. Because of the declaration of the COVID-19 pandemic as a national emergency, federal funds, including monies from FEMA and other federal sources, may be available at some point in the future, and separate accounting could help ease your application for such resources. Additionally, tracking such How do I know if I am a critical infrastructure worker? The Department of Homeland Security has issued guidance as to what may be considered the essential critical infrastructure workforce. While this list is advisory in nature, and not considered to be a federal law or standard, it provides some direction as to what workers and businesses may be considered critical. Healthcare and public health workers of various types are described on the list, as well as law enforcement, public safety and first responders. Certain workers in the food and agriculture industry are listed, as well as certain workers in the energy, utility, transportation, communication, information technology, manufacturing, financial services and other related sectors. More information can be found at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency of the Department of Homeland Security: www.cisa.gov. What about school testing, accountability and assessment requirements? The provisions of state law and regulation that mandate annual administration of testing by public and private schools have generally been suspended for the 2019-2020 school year. See Proclamation Number JBE 2020-32 on March 19, 2020, by Governor John Bel Edwards, for more information. _______________________________________ INSURANCE Will my business interruption insurance cover my business losses from COVID-19? The answer to that question depends upon the specific language of your business interruption insurance policy, as well as how the courts eventually sort out the facts of any COVID-19-specific factors. If your business interruption insurance only covers losses incurred as a result of actual “physical damage” or similar language, some insurance carriers may take the position that the closing of a business www.abcpelican.org/newsletter 54 CONTINUED ON PAGE 55
as a result of precautionary measures by the state or federal government is not covered, without any actual physical damage. However, a court may find that because the COVID-19 virus could be present on the surfaces of business equipment and facilities for several days, such could constitute “physical damage” and trigger insurance coverage. Additionally, other forms of business insurance may also be implicated in such a case. We recommend you have your policy reviewed by an experienced insurance attorney to help you determine what factors may be at issue with your specific insurance coverage. Is insurance an “essential” part of the workforce? The Department of Homeland Security has issued guidance as to what may be considered the essential critical infrastructure workforce. While this list is advisory in nature, and not considered to be a federal law or standard, it provides some direction as to what workers and businesses may be considered critical. With respect to financial services, the guidance indicates that the following may be considered essential critical infrastructure workers: Workers who are needed to process and maintain systems for processing financial transactions and services (e.g., payment, clearing, and settlement; wholesale funding; insurance services; and capital markets activities) More information can be found at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency of the Department of Homeland Security: www.cisa.gov. ________________________________________ TAXES Has the April 15th deadline for federal taxes been extended for individuals? Yes. The deadline for both income tax filings and payments has been pushed back from April 15, 2020, until July 15, 2020. Suggestion: Even though payment is being extended, if you are not a W-2 employee and must pay estimated tax, this is just a loan from the IRS. If you have the money, pay the normal quarterly payments. If you are expecting a tax refund, however, the IRS is encouraging you to file your return as soon as possible in order to receive your refund sooner. Has the April 15th deadline for federal taxes been extended for businesses? Yes. The deadline for both income tax filings and payments has been pushed back from April 15, 2020, until July 15, 2020. This is an automatic extension and no extension request is necessary. No penalties or interest will be assessed provided that the return and payment are submitted to the Department of Revenue by the July 15, 2020 extension date. Are there tax credits available with respect to the provision of sick leave and emergency leave under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act? Yes, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act establishes certain employment tax credits for employers to cover amounts paid to employees for emergency paid sick leave and emergency leave for child care. Section 7001 and Section 7003 of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act provide more information. Employers can offset their qualified sick leave and qualified Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) leave payments against their federal employment tax deposits, including income tax withholdings and employment tax withholdings (employee portion) and the employer match tax. The refund procedure for when the qualified sick leave and qualified FMLA leave payments exceed the 941 taxes is not yet finalized, but the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) expects to process these refunds in two weeks or less. Self-employed individuals can receive an equivalent credit. With respect to the FMLA small business exemption (fewer than 50 employees), the IRS states that the exemption will be available on the basis of simple and clear criteria that make it available in circumstances involving jeopardy to the viability of a business as a going concern. Are there tax credits available for self-employed individuals? Yes, under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, certain refundable tax credits are available for self-employed individuals against the self-employment tax. Generally, these credits cover all of a self-employed individual’s sick leave equivalent amount, or 67% of the individual’s sick leave equivalent amount if the individual is taking care of a sick family member or child following the child’s school closing for up to 10 days. See Section 7002 of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act for more information. Have the deadlines for unemployment taxes been extended? Yes, the payment deadline has been extended but not the filing deadline. On March 19, 2020, the Louisiana Workforce Commission (LWC) announced a deferral for payment of first quarter state unemployment taxes. Employers will still be required to make appropriate filings by April 30, 2020, but any payments associated with unemployment taxes will be deferred until June 30, 2020. In the announcement, LWC also clarified that an employer’s unemployment insurance experience tax rate will not be impacted by claims related to COVID-19. Has the deadline been extended for sales and use taxes? The February 2020 sales tax returns and payments were originally due on March 20, 2020. The filing and payment deadline for the February 2020 sales tax period is extended LEGAL update continued from page 22 55 www.abcpelican.org/newsletter CONTINUED ON PAGE 56
to May 20, 2020. This is an automatic extension and no extension request is necessary. The Louisiana Department of Revenue will waive delinquency penalties and compromise interest associated with delinquent sales tax remittances as long as the return and payment are received by the extended due date of May 20, 2020. Taxpayers cannot utilize the Parish E-File or Sales Tax Online filing systems to take advantage of this filing and payment extension relief. Sales tax returns and payments must be submitted via LaTAP or by paper filing. All electronic filing and payment mandates contained within Title 61 of the Louisiana Administrative Code relative to sales tax are temporarily suspended. No penalties will be assessed for a taxpayer’s failure to file a sales tax return electronically or remit sales tax by electronic funds transfer. ________________________________________ PUBLIC BODIES Have the attendance and quorum requirements of public bodies changed in light of COVID-19? According to the guidance[3] published by the Louisiana Attorney General, the answer is yes and no. The quorum requirements applicable to public bodies (as defined by La. R.S. 42:13), remain in effect, and a quorum of members must be present to conduct business, as required by the Open Meetings Law (La. R.S. 42:11, et seq.). Members are generally not permitted to attend public meetings remotely via teleconference or video conference. However, Proclamation Number JBE 2020-30 on March 16, 2020, by Governor John Bel Edwards, purports to allow all state agencies, boards, commissions and local political subdivisions of the state to permit attendance at essential governmental meetings via teleconference or video conference during the pendency of the COVID-19 emergency. All other provisions of the Open Meetings Law remain in effect, including the quorum requirements and the requirement to prepare written minutes of the proceedings, which must be made available to the public within a reasonable time after the meeting. For more information, see Proclamation Number JBE 2020-30, March 16, 2020, Governor John Bel Edwards. Are notice requirements applicable in an emergency? In an extraordinary emergency, written public notice shall not be required, according to the guidance[4] published by the Louisiana Attorney General, although the public body should give notice as it deems appropriate and circumstances permit. However, if the public body is conducting a meeting via teleconference or video conference, under Section 4 of Proclamation Number JBE 2020-30, March 16, 2020, by Governor John Bel Edwards, the public body shall provide reasonable notice in the form of a written certification that the public body will otherwise be unable to operate due to the quorum requirements. This certification must be posted in the same manner, place and time as it would post a normal agenda, in compliance with La. R.S. 42:19. For more information, see Proclamation Number JBE 2020-30, March 16, 2020, Governor John Bel Edwards. Can a public body enter executive session and restrict attendance? Under La. R.S. 42:16-17, a public body is allowed to hold an executive session and restrict attendance upon an affirmative vote of two-thirds of the constituent members present at a duly noticed and held open meeting. Executive session may be held for the specific reasons enumerated in La. R.S. 42:17, including matters of extraordinary emergencies such as the threat of an epidemic. For more information, see Memorandum Re: Additional Open Meetings Guidance in light of COVID-19; Jeff Landry, Attorney General; March 19, 2020. Do the public comment requirements change during an emergency? No, according to guidance[5] published by the Louisiana Attorney General. La. R.S. 42:14 requires public bodies to allow a public comment period before acting on an agenda item upon which a vote is to be taken. Reasonable rules and restrictions are allowed regarding such comment periods, such as limiting the amount of time for each speaker, or limiting the number of people in a meeting room to comply with Proclamation Number JBE 2020-30, March 16, 2020, Governor John Bel Edwards. For more information, see Memorandum Re: Additional Open Meetings Guidance in light of COVID-19; Jeff Landry, Attorney General; March 19, 2020. Are public bid laws suspended? The Louisiana Public Bid Law (La. R.S. 38:221, et seq.) and its corresponding rules and regulations relating to deadlines for advertisement for bids and public works contracts are suspended during the COVID-19 emergency. The provisions of La. R.S. 39:124 through 126 regarding periodic meetings and/or inspection of capital outlay projects and prior approval of change orders are also suspended. See Proclamation Number JBE 2020-32, March 19, 2020, Governor John Bel Edwards, for more information.
