The Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) is a Federal tax credit incentive that the Congress provides to private-sector businesses for hiring individuals from twelve target groups who have consistently faced significant barriers to employment. Many of our candidates qualify for WOTC funding from the government. As a result, your business qualifies for a tax credit should your hire one of our candidates.

WOTC can offer the following:

• $2,400 generally for each adult new hire
• $4,800 for each new disabled veteran hire
• $9,000 for each long term TANF user over a 2-year period.
