NFPA-70E Personal Protective Equipment Selector Guide
|
 The NFPA-70E Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Selector Guide, (5024-15), was developed to assist the industry in understanding and applying the provisions found in "NFPA-70E, The Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace." It has been revised to the current 2015, which provides a simplified approach and understanding to the PPE requirements to help keep workers safe. Maintenance Related Safety Requirements are now included in the standard and is a basis for applying the provisions found in the Table Method for implementing PPE Arc Flash Protection. Item No. 5024-15 at the NECA Store. Member Price: $25 |
New State Law Requires All Employers to Electronically File and Pay to the EDD
|
Assembly Bill (AB) 1245 (Chapter 222, Statutes of 2015) extends to all employers the requirement to electronically submit employment tax returns, wage reports, and payroll tax deposits to the Employment Development Department (EDD) beginning January 1, 2017. Electronic filing and paying offers employers many benefits including:
- Increased data accuracy in comparison to paper forms
- Protected data through encryption that is more secure than paper forms
- Reduced cost of printing, mailing and document storage
- Elimination of lost mail
AB 1245 will be phased-in over a two-year period to offer employers ample time to prepare. The new law extends electronic filing and payment requirements to employers on the following timelines:
- January 1, 2017: Employers with 10 or more employees
- January 1, 2018: All Employers
Employers can file and pay electronically today with a simple one-time enrollment in the EDD's e-Services for Business. Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, employers can start managing their employer payroll tax account online now. e-Services for Business is fast, easy and secure! There is no cost to enroll and use e-Services for Business, and no specialized software is required.
The EDD is committed to supporting employers as they transition to fulfilling this new state requirement. For employers who may be unable to electronically file and pay, a hardship waiver application will be available.
