Are there other benefits for the employer?
In addition to having our on-the-job support and help with training, most employers will qualify for the Work Opportunity Tax Credit if they hire one of our individuals for an extended period of time. This tax credit gives employers a 40% tax deduction on up to the first $6000 of the employee’s wages after meeting very reasonable guidelines. EMI will provide you with the appropriate paperwork to apply for this valuable tax deduction and help you with its preparation.
Will I be expected to spend money on accomodations?
Most of the time, EMI will be able to help obtain the funding if any adjustments will be necessary to place one of our individuals with your business. In the rare case those funds are not available, there are tax credits available under the Disabled Access Tax Credit.
