SUMMARY:Navigating New Opportunities: Helping Small Business Claim the Employee Retention Credit
DESCRIPTION:Are you overlooking the Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC)? In 2020\, most employers could not qualify for the ERTC if they had already received a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan. However\, that restriction was removed and other changes were made when the Consolidated Appropriations Act was signed into law on Dec. 27\, 2020. The ERTC is expiring at the end of 2021\, but there’s still time for eligible businesses to claim the credit. During this webinar\, you will learn how to get your ERTC back from Q2 of 2020 through current quarters\, the option to amend any quarterly 941s and how to best financially support both your business and your team. \nThis complimentary webinar is open to ALL foodservice and hospitality professionals. Pre-registrations is required. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Vikan Webinar: Cleaning Validation for Allergen Control in Food Manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:There are many practices that can be employed to assist in the reduction of allergen cross-contact\, including the appropriate use of area and equipment segregation. However\, if separate processing areas and equipment are not possible\, cleaning becomes the major method of allergen control on shared production lines. As a prerequisite controlling a hazard\, and as required by best practices and GFSI auditing standards\, such cleaning requires validation and subsequent monitoring and verification. This presentation provides guidance on allergen control through the application of appropriate validation\, verification\, and monitoring. \nRegister here.
