YOUR COST OF DOING BUSINESS IS GOING UP, AND THEY ARE CALLING IT A "GRAND BARGAIN"
Do you know what you need about new legislation that raises the minimum wage and guarantees time off?
Get educated. Don't get caught unaware of the upcoming increase in minimum wage and other mandated employee benefits. The Chamber's got you covered: Join fellow small business owners to learn about the Grand Bargain legislative package and how it will impact your business. Massachusetts Legislature Passed a "Grand Bargain" Legislative Package Which Includes a $15 Minimum Wage and Paid Family/Medical Leave Program.
Join fellow small business owners to learn about what was included in the final "Grand Bargain" legislative package. This legislation bundled parts from three ballot questions slated for the November 2018 ballot:
∙ $15 Minimum Wage
∙ Paid Family and Medical Leave
∙ Sales Tax Rollback
This is your opportunity to learn about the final package and how it will impact your business. Following the presentation, there will be time for questions on how best to prepare your business for the new law, some of which goes into effect on January 1, 2019. This event is generously sponsored by Ruberto, Israel and Weiner and will be offered in an interactive, panel format.
