You should then pay this liability during the covered period up to 100% of the prior year staff costs.\u00a0<\/p><p>Remember, there could be further guidance that reduces this benefit, but until that is released, this may be a way to get your 2019 plan funded with forgiven money and increase the 75% portion of the loan.<\/p><h5><strong>Payroll Costs Definition<\/strong><\/h5><p>The release states that the CARES Act defines \u201cpayroll costs\u201d broadly to include compensation in the form of salary, wages, commissions or similar compensation.\u00a0 So, if an employee is not an owner and has total compensation less than $100,000 on an annualized basis, then all compensation including bonuses and hazard pay are eligible for forgiveness.<\/p><h5><strong>Full Time Equivalent Safe Harbor<\/strong><\/h5><p><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>The interim final rule also went into detail and provided more examples related to the reduction of loan forgiveness for both a reduction in full time equivalents (FTEs) and a reduction in salary\/wages.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>Much of this was just an expansion of what we learned in the forgiveness application. There was, however, new guidance related to employees that decline to return to work.<\/p><p>As we have shared in <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cainwatters.com\/digitalblogs\/calculating-full-time-employees\/\">our previous blog<\/a><\/span>, the SBA and Treasury adopted a regulatory exemption to the forgiveness reduction rules for borrowers who have offered to rehire an employee or restore the employee\u2019s hours, but the employee declines.<\/p><p>If an employer wants to exclude a reduction in FTE headcount for an employee that declines rehire, they must do the following:<\/p><ol><li>Make a good faith, written offer to rehire the employee during the covered period<\/li><li>The offer must be at the same salary or wage and the same number of hours as prior to the separation or reduction in hours<\/li><li>The offer was rejected by the employee<\/li><li>The borrower has records documenting the offer and rejection, and<\/li><li>The borrower informed the applicable state unemployment insurance office of such employee\u2019s rejected offer of reemployment within 30 days of rejecting the offer.<\/li><\/ol><p><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>This additional step that the SBA is requiring of notifying the state unemployment is worth noting as there is a 30-day deadline. <\/strong><\/span><\/p><p>In a footnote, the SBA states it will give guidance on how an employer should contact their state unemployment on the SBA website, but that doesn\u2019t seem to be there now and with the 30-day deadline, it seems that some employers may need to act soon.\u00a0 For documentation purposes, it seems that a letter or email may be the most appropriate form of notification until guidance is received.<\/p><p>Employers also must remember that the other option to not have their forgiveness reduced is to replace any employees that decline an offer of reemployment by June 30, 2020.\u00a0 This would alleviate the employer from having to provide the documentation above, but this may or may not be what is best for the business.<\/p><h5><strong>Forgiveness Process\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5><p>Lastly, the SBA added guidance on the loan forgiveness process.\u00a0 As mentioned when the Loan Forgiveness Application was received, it set the deadline for the application as October 31, 2020.\u00a0 The IFR now states that the lender will review the application and make a decision in regards to loan forgiveness.\u00a0 They will have 60 days from receipt of the application to issue a decision to the SBA.\u00a0 After this, the SBA has 90 days to remit the forgiven amount plus accrued interest to the bank.\u00a0<\/p><p>What is interesting about this, is that it&#8217;s clear that most will be past the 6 month deferral period before the application is submitted, bank reviewed, turned over to the SBA and payment is received.\u00a0 As such, the IFR does clarify that if the forgiveness exceeds the amount of the loan due to the borrower making scheduled payments, the lender will remit the excess with accrued interest back to the borrower.\u00a0<\/p><p>Because of this time frame, borrowers need to be ready to start making payments on the full PPP loan after the 6 month deferral. With amortization periods only 18 months, these payments could be larger than many expect.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-709de835 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"709de835\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7ceb459b blue-box ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"7ceb459b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b3e6ef8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2b3e6ef8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>If you want more information related to calculating your FTEs for forgiveness and the simplified alternative FTE calculation, read our blog.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-deda829 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"deda829\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cainwatters.com\/digitalblogs\/calculating-full-time-employees\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">READ THE BLOG<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d35e74e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"d35e74e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6ff2c16 ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"6ff2c16\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ef9ccca elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ef9ccca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Ultimately, outside of limiting the forgiveness related to business owners, the more guidance that is received, the more it seems that the SBA is trying to make it easier for business owners to receive forgiveness on wages paid to employees.\u00a0 It just may not seem that way when it takes 26 pages of an interim final rule to clarify just a few points.<\/p><p>As always, we will keep you updated with any more releases the SBA provides.
