Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce - EDD Payroll Reporting Study

The Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce requests your feedback related to potential implementation considerations for SB 1054, which would require Employment Development Department (EDD) to streamline and modernize quarterly wage reporting.

All survey responses will help L.A. Chamber better understand how small businesses currently submit payroll data and how reporting processes may impact future business operations. Responses will be shared with CalChamber to help inform on its review of SB 1054.
