Hiring Incentives

Through DWD, employers can access various incentive offerings.

Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC)

WOTC is a tax incentive for employers to hire individuals of certain target groups which have traditionally faced significant barriers to employment. These credits reduce an employer's cost of doing business and require little paperwork. Employers can save up to $2,400 per new hire. For Long-Term Family Assistance recipients, the employer can save up to $9,000 per new hire over a two-year time period. Learn more about hiring incentives.

Fidelity Bonding

This federal program provides Fidelity Bonds to anyone who is not eligible for commercial bonding at no cost to the employers or employees. It's a unique tool to help a job applicant get and keep a job. Learn more about fidelity bonding.

Employee Tax Credits

There are several employee tax credit incentives that can increase the take-home pay of employees at no cost to the employer.

(1) Earned Income, (2) Homestead, and (3) Child Tax Credits
The Earned Income, Homestead and Child Tax Credits can help low income workers increase their income substantially by reducing their income tax liability and, at times, providing a refund greater than the taxes owed. Not only do these credits reduce their tax burden and supplement their wages, but they motivate individuals to pursue employment, which promotes self-sufficiency, while meeting the labor needs of employers.
