West Virginia Employer Incentives

• The federal bond that is available at no cost to employers was recently doubled from $5,000 to $10,000. This can be used for full or part time employees including those hired through a temp agency. All of our participants qualify but could be applicable for others you are hiring. That form and additional info can be found here: https://workforcewv.org/employers/employment-resources/

• The WOTC is a federal tax credit program that offers significant incentives for employers who hire and retain individuals from specific target groups that have previously experienced difficulty in securing employment. Learn more at https://workforcewv.org/employers/employment-resources/. 

• On-the-Job Training (OJT) provides opportunities for participants to “learn as they earn.” The employer also benefits by being reimbursed for part of the participant’s wages during the training period, while having the services of a full-time employee.
