Starting a business involves many moving parts, and if you’ve formed an LLC in Washington, one of those parts is filing an Initial Report. It might not be the most exciting step, but it’s a very important one.
This report informs the state of who is responsible for running your business, where your company is based, and who will handle legal communications. Let’s review the Washington Initial Report, how to file it, and the fees involved. We’ll also share how Mosey can be your right-hand in business compliance.
California employers face a multi-billion dollar question in 2025. The estimated annual cost of the new California minimum wage is massive and rippling across the state. And if you’re operating in multiple jurisdictions, your compliance complexity just multiplied exponentially.
The statewide minimum wage hit $16.50 per hour on January 1, 2025, but that’s just the baseline. Factor in industry-specific rates reaching $24 per hour, plus over 30 cities and counties with their own requirements, and you’re looking at a compliance maze that can trigger significant penalties per employee per pay period for mistakes.
Remote work is here to stay whether your team is fully remote or uses a hybrid model. And, as businesses expand their talent pool across state lines, keeping up with compliance has become essential.
For small businesses tackling the challenges of multi-state payroll and HR requirements, creating a comprehensive work-from-home (WFH) policy is a best practice and a necessity.
