Fidelity Bonding
Sponsored by DELEG, the Fidelity Bonding Program was created to assist high-risk, but qualified, job seekers who have bona fide offers of employment. Typically, some employers may view individuals who have questionable backgrounds as high-risk or untrustworthy workers. The Fidelity Bonding Program offers a business insurance policy that protects an employer against any possible losses incurred due to actions by high-risk employees. In addition, the program is designed to remove barriers to employment that high-risk job seekers face. Furthermore, it gives employers an incentive to hire qualified, high-risk job seekers who might otherwise be unable to find work. The Fidelity Bonding Program provides fidelity bond insurance FREE OF CHARGE for employers of certain high-risk employees. For more information on Fidelity Bonding, please contact a Troy Michigan Works! staff member.
Tax Credit Information
The Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) is a Federal tax credit incentive that the Congress provides to private-sector businesses for hiring individuals from twelve target groups who have consistently faced significant barriers to employment. The main objective of this program is to enable the targeted employees to gradually move from economic dependency into self-sufficiency as they earn a steady income and become contributing taxpayers, while the participating employers are compensated by being able to reduce their federal income tax liability. WOTC joins other workforce programs that help incentivize workplace diversity and facilitate access to good jobs for American workers. To apply for the Work Opportunity Tax Credit, businesses can complete the IRS Form 8850 and ETA Form 9061 available at: http://www.doleta.gov/business/incentives/opptax/.
