DES plays a crucial role in supporting individuals who are unemployed or underemployed by connecting them with resources and opportunities to help them re-enter the workforce.
The minimum hourly pay in Connecticut climbed to $15.69 as of Jan. 1, 2024, which comes on the heels of a minimum wage system that has already steadily risen in recent years. This rise is a component of a larger program related to the Employment Cost Index (ECI), which is intended to help earnings match everyday living expenses.
Businesses have been especially affected by this systematic pay change. Knowing about these changes ahead of time can ensure you remain compliant with state regulations and control your labor costs.
Many businesses will need a registered agent at the time they file their business registration paperwork. In most states, there is no difference between a noncommercial registered agent and a commercial registered agent. Only 12 states make a distinction between the two types.
If you live in a state that distinguishes commercial registered agents from noncommercial registered agents, here’s what you should know about the differences and how to select the right type of registered agent for your business.
Maintaining a registered agent in every state where you’re registered with the Secretary of State is a key compliance requirement—and to avoid fines or other penalties against your business, each agent needs to be able to reliably receive and forward correspondence.
If one of your registered agents can’t perform these functions (or if your business needs change), your business can change registered agents by filing a statement with the relevant Secretary of State.
