WOTC 101: Generate Tax Credits with Your Recruiting Process
The hiring process can be complicated even with every effort made to simplify and streamline the experience. For this reason, some employers avoid the Work Opportunity Tax Credit because it’s seen as another hurdle between a potential candidate and filling a vacant position. However, WOTC can bring in valuable dollars to an organization for qualifying new employees. This webinar explores the benefit of this powerful tax credit and how to implement a process for claiming it without affecting your candidate experience.
Work Opportunity Tax Credit
Outsource WOTC management to claim uncaptured WOTC benefits. Shift the burden of research, administration and compliance processes away from your team. Streamline the pre-employment screening to maintain compliance and reduce friction during the job application process. Our smart, online WOTC survey combines both 8850 and 9061 forms to elevate the user experience and simplify the process. Our team takes charge of WOTC management at every stage of the process - including submission, reporting, audit preparations and credit forecasts to increase your organization’s eligibility while achieving maximum efficiency, security and compliance.
Disaster Zone Tax Credits
Disaster relief tax credits help employers get back on their feet after qualifying disasters, such as wildfires, hurricanes, and earthquakes, render their locations inoperable. At Experian, our tax credit management team can help you claim relevant disaster relief tax credits to get your team back on track. If your organization is in a qualifying disaster zone, we can help you through each step of the claim process. You may be eligible for disaster zone tax credits, including the Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC), Paid Sick and Family Leave Credits, and similar credits.
Family Medical Leave Act Tax Credit
If you’re an employer who provides family and medical leave to your employees, you may be eligible for the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) Tax Credit. This tax credit is equal to a percentage of wages you pay to eligible employees who take time off for family and medical leave. Our suite of tools makes it easy to determine the eligibility requirements and fill out the necessary paperwork to receive the FMLA tax credit. With our tax credit management services on your side, applying for tax credits that can improve your ROI and protect your bottom line is easy.
