What else do I need to know?
There may be additional things you will need to do to maintain your
"good standing" in the state including having a registered agent and
other kinds of taxes.
Maintaining a Registered Agent
Most states require that you have a registered agent that can
receive important mail from the Secretary of State should they need
to contact you. There are many commercial options available or you
can use Mosey to be your registered agent and keep your information
private in New Jersey.
Other Taxes
In addition to maintaining a registered agent, maintaining your good
standing can include additional taxes. This can include franchise
tax, sales tax, or other state taxes. You can use Mosey to identify
these additional requirements to maintain good standing in
New Jersey.
California is setting a new standard for workers’ rights with its expanded sick leave, providing you and your team with support during challenging times. The law goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2025, providing relief to victims of crimes such as domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking.
By extending the reach of the Healthy Workplaces, Healthy Families Act of 2014 (HWHFA) and defining unpaid leave protections under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), the state has made a powerful statement about its priorities. Now, it’s time for employers to implement new policies.
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.
You’re expanding into Ohio and discover something unexpected: the state doesn’t require private employers to provide any sick leave at all. Unlike neighboring states with mandatory accrual requirements, Ohio takes a hands-off approach that puts policy decisions squarely in employers’ hands. And that can be both a blessing and a curse.
From public sector mandates and federal law overlaps to local ordinances and strategic policy considerations, understanding Ohio’s sick leave landscape requires more than just knowing “it’s not required.” However, these complexities can also be a powerful competitive advantage if you can avoid the compliance pitfalls. Let’s take a closer look.
