Employee Retention Credit
Covid-19 caused the world to flip upside down. No one knew how to navigate the pandemic because no one had ever been through anything like that before. Some businesses were initially completely shut down in March of 2020. Some, such as auto dealerships and dentists were closed for months. This proved to be an insurmountable challenge for many businesses and organizations. The loss of revenue was devastating, and the result was permanent closures all over the world. There were many assistance programs from the U.S. government put into place to try to save these businesses and the economy as a whole.
The Employee Retention Credit (ERC) benefits companies that fought through the turmoil and survived. Out of the businesses that remained open through the most intense portion of the pandemic, most took a huge hit with massively decreased revenue in 2020. Supply chains were disrupted at unprecedented levels. So even businesses that were trying to stabilize through normal sales revenue still had remarkable challenges caused by lack of inventory, slow shipping, or exorbitant costs to get raw goods and materials.

It was incredibly commendable and downright tough on the strongest of businesses that made it through the abyss. And a lot of them lost even more money by honoring payroll structures and by avoiding layoffs. This was vital for those employees to be able to pay their bills and feed their families. In many cases these employees were integral in pushing the company through the darkest periods. In other cases, the companies felt loyal to their longtime or important employees and held onto them despite a negative impact to the bottom line.
