Earn Income During the Hiring Process

The Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC), a federal tax credit incentive for businesses hiring individuals who face significant barriers to employment, has increased over the last few years, with new target groups, expanded requirements and increased credit.  

There are now 12 targeted groups of individuals that qualify for WOTC and employers can now qualify for anywhere from $2,400 to $9,000 for each new individual they hire. Are you getting your's?

USA-FACT has partnered with an industry leading company to offer clients an applicant tracking system with pre-hire tax credit screening built in.  The system finds credit opportunities (both current and overlooked) across Federal and local programs and then submits and tracks each new employee's paperwork through certification.  The system can also help companies build revenue by pre-screening candidates for tax credit eligibility.

MRO Highlight: Drug Testing & the Importance of Medical Review Officers

Have you ever received a positive drug test report on one of your employees or applicants?  If so, did you receive this result BEFORE or AFTER a Medical Review Officer reviewed and verified the result?

These questions are important!  According to the Workplace Privacy, Data Management & Security Report, drug test results should not be reported to an employer until after an MRO has reviewed and verified the result.  The report states that one of the purposes of MRO review is to ensure that the employer does not take action on a positive test result that may be explained by a legitimate medical reason.

What is a Medical Review Officer (MRO)? An MRO is a licensed physician responsible for receiving and reviewing laboratory results and evaluating any medical explanations for certain drug test results.

When should review be conducted?  Medical Review should take place directly after the laboratory conducts the testing.
