Retailers Welcome Bill to Promote Healthy Workplaces

“The health and safety of every employee and customer is the number one priority for the retail industry. Retailers have already made significant updates to protocols that make shopping safe,” said RILA Vice President of Tax Dave Koenig. “The Healthy Workplace Tax Credit enables businesses of all sizes to continually make the necessary investments that give workers the confidence to return to work and consumers the reassurance that shopping can be done in a safe manner. Providing employers with this tax credit will help get our economy back on track. Leading retailers appreciate Rep. Rice’s leadership on this issue and look forward to working with him to get it included in the next COVID relief package.”
