Perks.com Announces Upcoming Webinar Focused on Navigating Reward and Recognition Incentive Program Tax Concerns
Little Rock, AR (PRWEB) September 10, 2015 -- Perks, a global incentives and loyalty marketing company that combines solid business strategy with cloud technology to ensure that our customers become more effective with their employees, channel partners and consumers, has partnered with George Delta, an industry expert in various aspects of the incentive, promotion and rewards and recognition industry, in our upcoming Webinar: Successfully Navigating Reward and Recognition Incentive Program Tax Concerns.
Points-based employee recognition programs continue to grow in popularity, but the income tax treatment of awards received by employees through these programs remains unsettled. Joining the webinar on September 16th at 1 PM EST will empower attendees with a better understanding of the tax implications of recognition and incentives programs.
In this webinar, George Delta, Incentive Federation’s attorney and industry expert in various aspects of the incentive, promotion, and reward and recognition industry, and Steve Timmerman, Perks Co-founder & VP of Business Development at Perks | Employee, will discuss regulations about the tax rules around achievement, length of service and safety awards - when are and aren't they taxable, how to determine fair market value and outline which programs are/are not exempt from income reporting and taxation.
Timmerman looks forward to the webinar and further explains the significance of this discussion: “Without the proper planning and a complete understanding of what is and isn’t taxable, even a well-designed program may fail. Tax implications and the impact of safety achievement awards and years of service awards must be understood and built into the program structure.”
In this webinar, attendees will learn the true definition of non-taxable employee awards, which tax rules apply to Safety and Years of Service programs, how to determine the fair market value of the awards and some guidance about the Fair Labor Standards Act. By understanding these regulations, program stakeholders will be better prepared to guide discussions and have conversations with in-house legal and finance teams.
