Florida Minimum Wage Laws & Compliance Guide

With Florida’s minimum wage landscape constantly shifting, staying behind can cost you—a lot. With the state’s constitutional amendment driving annual increases through 2026, what seemed like manageable wage adjustments have become a moving compliance target that affects payroll, Florida’s minimum wage jumped to $14 on September 30, 2025, with the final increase to $15 scheduled for 2026.

What Is the Employee Retention Credit?

The Employee Retention Credit, or ERC, is sometimes referred to as the Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC). This is a valuable tax credit offered to businesses and tax-exempt organizations during COVID. This credit was designed to encourage employers to keep their workers on payroll, providing a significant financial incentive even during difficult economic times. While the ERC is no longer active, eligible employers can still claim this credit retroactively.

Nonprofit Compliance Guide to State & Federal Requirements

Managing a nonprofit organization comes with specific obligations. Beyond furthering your mission, compliance is an important administrative duty supporting everything you do. Whether fulfilling state-specific registration requirements or filing documents with the IRS, nonprofit compliance guarantees your company keeps its tax-exempt status and runs legally. Compliance is not a one-shot event. Nonprofits have to handle two sets of rules: federal and state. State-by-state, the criteria vary greatly and span anything from company licenses to charity soliciting registrations. For companies doing business beyond state boundaries, this may rapidly become a tangle of responsibilities.
