We are in this together.

Here at Hire Scene, we believe in the power of community. During uncertain times it is more important than ever to support one another. Like you, we have been impacted by the daily changes of COVID-19. We have compiled a list of North Carolina business resources to help you navigate the ever-changing landscape.

Essential Business Designation

Governor Cooper issued Executive Order 121 (EO 121) on March 27, 2020. This order directs that non-essential business and operations must cease, effective on Monday, March 30 at 5:00pm, and will remain in place for 30 days. Section 2 of EO 121 identifies businesses that are considered “Essential Businesses and Operations.” If you believe your business is “essential” and you were not among those designated “essential” you may submit a request to The North Carolina Department of Revenue here. You may continue to operate until the Department of Revenue acts on your request.
