Hiring Incentives for Business

Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC)

WOTC reduces an employer’s cost of doing business and require little paperwork. Helping those most in need find and retain jobs, and gain on-the-job experience, benefits all employers and increase America’s economic growth and productivity.

WOTC is a federal income tax credit that provides an incentive for private for profit employers to hire individuals of certain target groups, which have traditionally faced significant barriers to employment.

On-the-Job Training (OJT) Hiring Initiative

The "Think Possibilities" OJT hiring initiative can cover 50% of the salary and fringe expenses of a DVR referral hired by your company for up to 90 days.
