Paid Leave Tax Credit for Vaccines

A new federal tax credit to give employees of small and medium-sized businesses paid leave to receive a COVID-19 vaccine is now available.
p
As part of that effort, President Biden is calling on every employer in America to offer full pay to their employees for any time off needed to get vaccinated and for any time it takes to recover from the after-effects of vaccination. He will announce a paid leave tax credit that will offset the cost for employers with fewer than 500 employees to provide full pay for any time their employees need to get a COVID-19 vaccination or recover from that vaccination.
p
  • Employers with less than 500 employees can claim up to $511 per day & per employee to receive a vaccine.
p
This tax credit is a part of the $1.9 trillion COVID relief package.
