Press release

The Assistance for Business Clinic, or ABC, is set for Wednesday, June 17, at the Hensler Auditorium in the Applied Technology Center at Montana State University-Northern.

“If you’re in business, you can’t afford to miss this,” said Debbie Vandeberg of the Havre Area Chamber of Commerce.

Vandeberg invited people to contact the Chamber at 265-4383 to register for ABC.

The clinic is a partnership between the Havre Chamber and the state of Montana, which has brought this workshop to Havre for more than 25 years as a service to the businesses.

The Chamber sponsors education opportunities for the Havre businesses.

This clinic is geared to new and established employer/business owners to give valuable up-to-date information regarding tax rules and laws — withholding and reporting — tax credits, personnel issues and services available at the local Workforce Center.

The clinic is for payroll managers, bookkeepers and secretaries or anyone involved in filing reports with the state. All personnel involved in accounting, bookkeeping, payroll and any aspect of labor law should attend the seminar.

The clinic is an opportunity to learn about reporting requirements, new legislation, independent contractor issues, overtime pay and insurance and safety requirements. Representatives from the Department of Labor and Industry, which includes wage and hour, Unemployment Insurance Tax and Benefits and Workers’ Comp, and representatives from Montana Department of Revenue will be presenting at the clinic.

The clinic, including lunch, costs $30 and will start at 7:30 a.m. with registration.

People still have time to pre-register. The clinic will be held from 7:55 a.m. to 5 p.m. with registration from 7:30 a.m. to 7:50 a.m.

Pre-registration is encouraged, particularly for individuals who want Continuing Professional Education credits, Continuing Law Education credits and Human Resources credits. All day attendance is required to receive the CPE credits.
