A FEW TIPS TO MAKE SURE YOU GET THE HELP YOU
NEED WHEN CHOOSING TO HIRE!
Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) — This credit is available to employers for hiring individuals from certain target groups who have consistently faced significant barriers to employment.
Federal Bonding Program (FBP) - FBP bonds protect the employer against losses caused by the fraudulent or dishonest acts of the bonded employee. Examples of such acts of employee dishonesty include: theft, forgery, larceny, and embezzlement. Employers receive the FBP bonds free-of-charge as an incentive to hire these applicants. Each FBP bond has a $5,000 limit with $0 deductible and covers the first six months of a selected individual’s employment.
