The SBA continues to produce guidance for employers seeking Payment Protection Program (PPP) Loans. In a recent update to their guidance, the SBA made it clear that, for purposes of determining whether an applicant falls under the 500 employee threshold to qualify for a PPP loan, an applicant must count all of its employees and the employees of its U.S and foreign affiliates.
This means that in addition to being required to count all full-time and part-time US- based employees, an employer must also count all foreign-based full-time and part-time employees.
