    FMLA 2.0 – Dealing with Leaves of Absence

    The law has created an environment for employers dealing with the Family and Medical Leave laws and Americans with Disabilities Act to develop operational policies and implement documents to alert employees of their rights. Those policies and procedures are necessary to protect the company from asserted rights to FMLA or other protected time off, sometimes months after the actual absence or illness. Couple this with the challenges of the Americans with Disabilities Act for employees who have physical and mental challenges, and decisions regarding leaves of absence can be fraught with peril.

    This program will discuss in greater detail the most recent challenges faced by employers in FMLA compliance as well as the process suggested for employers to integrate compliance responsibilities.

    Wisconsin’s Rejection of 199A Deduction and other Modifications to the Federal Tax Cuts & Jobs Act

    by: Benjamin D. LaFrombois, von Briesen & Roper, s.c.

    The Federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) reduced corporate tax rates (C corporation) and allowed for a deduction of certain income from pass-through entities.  These changes create opportunities for business owners to reduce taxes with good planning.  Every business owner should reassess whether to be taxed as a C corporation, a pass-through entity (S corporation or partnership) or combination thereof.

    For the Wisconsin business owner, the re-assessment takes heightened importance because Wisconsin rejected one of the major benefits of the Act – the Section 199A deduction of certain pass-through income. By losing the Section 199A deduction for Wisconsin income tax purposes, the Wisconsin taxpayer may find that a C corporation has significant tax benefits.
