TM Process & Controls Conducts Comprehensive Power System Study in the US Virgin Islands
In a recent project, TM Process & Controls, Inc. undertook a detailed power system study at one of the largest distillation facilities in the US Virgin Islands. The mission was to enhance electrical safety and system efficiency through a series of critical analyses and updates. The team’s work included a Short Circuit Analysis, an Arc Flash Study, and Protective Device Coordination. Additionally, they applied OSHA-required NFPA 70E labels and updated the facility's single line drawings. This comprehensive study, suggested by OSHA every five years or following major electrical modifications, aims to mitigate electrical hazards and ensure the safety of personnel working with electrical systems. While the project focused on a major distillery, the same rigorous safety measures and studies can be applied to various industrial manufacturing facilities, including wineries of all sizes. The primary goal of these assessments is to prevent electrical accidents and protect workers

Changes in Federal Unemployment Tax Credits Hitting California Businesses in 2024
Along with New York and the U.S. Virgin Islands, California is facing a reduction in Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) credit for 2023, which means employers in California pay higher FUTA taxes retroactively in January 2024 for wages paid in 2023 due to the state’s outstanding federal loans. Many states, including California, experienced a FUTA Credit Reduction of 0.3% for 2022, and will be subject to an additional 0.3% credit reduction for 2023.

The Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA), passed in 1939, established a federal payroll tax to help fund and insure state unemployment benefits across the United States. This base federal payroll tax is 6% on the first $7,000 each employee makes in a year, which the employer is responsible for paying.

FUTA CREDIT REDUCTION STATES RELEASED FOR 2023 Employers in California to Pay Higher FUTA Tax Rates Retroactively Employers in California, Connecticut, Illinois, New York, and the U.S. Virgin Islands will pay higher Federal Unemployment Act (FUTA) taxes in January 2023 for wages paid in 2022 due to unpaid federal loans. The Department of Labor & IRS recently announced that the Credit for FUTA taxes will be reduced for employers in these states. This results in an adjusted higher net tax rate. This increase will be based on FUTA taxable wages paid in the affected jurisdictions during 2022. This adjusted higher net rate must be calculated retroactively for 2022 and paid in January of 2023. California Employers will pay an additional 0.3% on FUTA taxable wages (first $7,000 of taxable wages times 0.3%, or up to $21 per employee) when the 2022 Form 940 is filed. According to IRS regulations, any increased FUTA tax liability due to a credit reduction is considered incurre
