In a welcomed move by the business community, Gov. Kay Ivey on Friday morning issued a proclamation that would exempt certain CARES Act benefits from Alabama income tax and would extend the sunset (expiration) date of two of our major industrial tax incentives. And following suit within only a few hours, the Alabama Department of Revenue issued a notice titled “ALDOR Updating Instructions and Guidance for Certain Returns” citing the governor’s “Supplemental State of Emergency Proclamation.” The department says that it plans to amend the income tax and financial institution excise tax returns and related instructions to implement the governor’s mandates.

Earlier this year, OSHA issued Guidance on Preparing Workplaces for COVID-19, an educational reference designed to advise employers in all industries on implementing engineering, administrative, and work practice controls and personal protective equipment (PPE). The guidance is purely advisory and does not create new legal obligations. Nevertheless, now that OSHA is turning its attention to enforcement and investigation of COVID-related workplace hazards, the guidance proves to be a good way to set your company up to survive an OSHA inspection.
