A Refresher On Minnesota Employment Taxes at Rochester

Southeastern Minnesota small business operators, here is a close-by opportunity to hear the latest about state employment taxes and other worker-related rules.

The Minnesota Business Tax Education Partnership is offering a free, half-day briefing on Aug. 16 at Rochester Community and Technical College. It’s scheduled from 8:30 a.m. to noon in Room HA102 in the Heintz Center at the college, 1926 College View Road East.

There’s no charge, but advance registration is required. Reserve a seat online at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/employer-seminar-state-tax-withholding-and-unemployment-insurance-8162018-rochester-registration-44772387416

Experts from the state Department of Revenue and the Unemployment Insurance Program will take on topics ranging from the nuts and bolts of withholding to unemployment benefits. Also, if you’ve wondered about worker status – for example, the differences between independent contractors and payroll employees – this briefing can answer some questions.

The seminars are held occasionally in job centers around the state, but this one in Rochester is particularly convenient for many EricJohn Ltd. clients. If you can’t make this date, another is scheduled n Sept. 11 in Owatonna.

Of course, you’ll want to contact owner Eric Buechler for the most specific tax and payroll guidance for your small business.
