SUMMARY:[CANCELED] Massachusetts Pay Equity Law: Is Your Nonprofit Ready?
DESCRIPTION:This event has been canceled. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. \nPresenters: Michael Birch\, Charlotte Petilla\, of Hirsch Roberts Weinstein. \nOn August 1\, Governor Baker signed a bipartisan pay equity bill\, passed unanimously by both legislative branches\, to ensure equal pay for comparable work for all Massachusetts workers and equal opportunities to earn competitive salaries in the workplace. The new law\, going into effect on July 1\, 2018\, will prevent pay discrimination for comparable work based on gender. It also allows employees to freely discuss their salaries with coworkers and prohibits employers from requiring applicants to provide their salary history before receiving a formal job offer. \nCome and learn more about this new law and what your nonprofit as an employer can do and can no longer do. The law will affect your employee handbook\, hiring process manual\, and related policies. Employment law experts from Hirsch Roberts Weinstein will lead this 90 minute seminar.

SUMMARY:What the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act Means for Nonprofits and Best Practices to Prevent Financial Misconduct
DESCRIPTION:Registration (required): Click here. Please register by March 20. \nPresenters: John Buckley and Josh England of AAFCPAs\n\nThis year\, MA nonprofits face significant legal challenges to be in compliance with new sets of federal and Massachusetts laws.  This program will address to the new IRS rules nonprofits need to comply with and those with the calendar year as their fiscal year will have to do so by April 15.  The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act has enacted widespread changes to the tax rules affecting nonprofit organizations.  \nOur presenter Josh England of AAFCPAs will lead a presentation on the following changes that are especially noteworthy: (1) a 21% excise tax on executive compensation exceeding $1 million; (2) UBTI  must be computed separately for each unrelated trade or business; (3) disallowed fringe benefits are now UBTI including any qualified transportation fringe; any parking facility used in connection with qualified parking; and any on-premises athletic facility; (4) Private colleges and universities with significant endowments will be subject to new 1.4 % excise tax.  In addition\, he will speak on provisions that impact donors and the tax benefits they may receive from making a charitable contribution.   \nOur second presenter John Buckley also of AAFCPAs will discuss the best practices to prevent financial misconduct which remains an enormous risk for nonprofits of any size including fraud warning signs.  \nCome learn the new federal laws to avoid being blindsided when Form 990 is due and the practical tips as to how to avoid to create a situation where financial misconduct could be perpetrated and how to spot any red flag.  \nThis seminar is a joint project of the Lawyers Clearinghouse and Boston Private with pro bono support of AAFCPAs.

SUMMARY:Massachusetts Pay Equity Law: Is Your Nonprofit Ready?
DESCRIPTION:Registration: Click here. Please RSVP by November 27. \nPresenters: Michael Birch\, Charlotte Petilla\, and David Wilson\, of Hirsch Roberts Weinstein. \nOn August 1\, Governor Baker signed a bipartisan pay equity bill\, passed unanimously by both legislative branches\, to ensure equal pay for comparable work for all Massachusetts workers and equal opportunities to earn competitive salaries in the workplace. The new law\, going into effect on July 1\, 2018\, will prevent pay discrimination for comparable work based on gender. It also allows employees to freely discuss their salaries with coworkers and prohibits employers from requiring applicants to provide their salary history before receiving a formal job offer. \nCome and learn more about this new law and what your nonprofit as an employer can do and can no longer do. The law will affect your employee handbook\, hiring process manual\, and related policies. Employment law experts from Hirsch Roberts Weinstein will lead this 90 minute seminar.
