In my last post, I detailed all the changes that were occurring due to the new Clean Slate law that goes into effect January 1, 2023. You might have missed hearing about the law because it passed in 2021 and the deadline seemed far away.
Well it’s here now.
So after you read the
In this year end rush, it would be easy to overlook the state’s new “Clean Slate” law. But employers in Connecticut should get ready now to implement the changes that occur on January 1, 2023.

It dates back to 2021 and can be found here at Public Act
On November 1 at 9 a.m., I’ll be making a return appearance to WNPR’s award-winning Where We Live show. You can listen live or download it as a podcast.
