2013 Florida Holiday Shopping Forecast
The Sunshine State’s key economic indicators point toward a bustling and prosperous holiday shopping season, despite congressional misbehavior that resulted in a government shutdown. The annual Holiday Shopping Forecast released by the Florida Retail Federation (FRF) is projecting a 3.5-4.5 percent increase in sales for the 2013 holiday season.
Health Care Reform Act
The health care reform law— the Affordable Care Act (ACA)— has many complex requirements for employers and health plans. Many employers are starting to focus more attention on the ACA’s rules and, as a result, have more questions than ever.

We are pleased to let you know that a significant tax decrease for businesses is on its way to you on Jan. 1, 2014, thanks in part to work the Florida Retail Federation did on your behalf nearly two years ago.
The state of Florida’s minimum Reemployment Assistance Tax rate (formerly known as Unemployment Compensation) will decline by more than 40 percent next year. The minimum 2014 rate published by the state will be $47.20 per worker -- down from $81.60 per worker in 2013. The taxable wage base of $8,000 and the maximum rate of $432 per employee will remain the same.
In 2012, the Florida Retail Federation fought hard in the face of the initial skepticism of legislative leadership to pass HB 7027 through the Florida Legislature. HB 7027 ultimately included most of our recommended measures to avoid a massive shock to employers by extending the time required to replenish the state fund for benefits. (The proposed minimum rate per employee in 2012 was $171.70 per employee – HB 7027 reduced it to $121.60.)
Florida State University has named Michael Delp dean of the College of Human Sciences.
