HIRE Act
Do you know about the HIRE Act?

The Federal Government passed the HIRE Act to create incentives for businesses to hire unemployed workers. When a company hires an employee who has not worked a maximum of 40 hours in the immediately preceeding 60 days, the company is eligible for the HIRE Act incentive. This incentive will save the employer 6.4% (equal to the employer\'s share of the Social Security tax) of the employee\'s wages for the remainder of 2010. If the employee is employed 52 consecutive weeks, and earns at least 80% in wages for the second 6 months as in the first 6 months, the company is then eligible for an additional $1,000 tax credit in 2011.
