Hi, was just wondering if anyone could give some insight as to how to spend or calculate the way funds should be spent for the PPP. I understand the 75% on payroll, but my question is a little more in depth. How should we pay our employees? Is it based on their hours as of now, during the quarantine? Or do we pay them the average amount of what they earned before the virus hit. Will we still get forgiveness if we pay them what they used to make v/s how much they are making now? I’m trying to give all my employees what they made previously before the virus. Just wondering if that would qualify for forgiveness. Also, if that isn’t allowed, how would you calculate the hours of the employees you don’t need? I’ve seen information that if you don’t need your employees that you should still pay them while they are at home. That’s fine but how would their wages be calculated IF you can’t use the pre-virus average of their pay. Thanks in advance for any help, hope this doesn’t confuse anyone and is as straightforward as I meant it to be.
