State Resources for Employers
Missouri Work Opportunity Tax Credit
Since its enactment by Congress in 1997, the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) Program has been integral to the creation of jobs by giving employers a tax credit when they hire qualified individuals who consistently face significant barriers to employment.
This Federal tax credit incentive program enables the new employees to gradually move from economic dependency into self-sufficiency as they earn a steady income and become contributing taxpayers, while participating employers are compensated by reducing their federal income tax liability.
On-The-Job-Training
On-The-Job-Training (OJT) allows an employer to be reimbursed up to 50% of the wages for hiring and training an individual “on-the-job.”
Work Ready Missouri
Work Ready Missouri is a training program that assists businesses to train potential employees who are receiving unemployment benefits.
The Missouri Federal Bonding Program is a no-cost, job-incentive program to increase the hiring of job seekers and to promote the retention of employees considered to be “at risk.”
