Title of bill
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to providing a tax credit for employers who employ workers who were receiving public assistance
Purpose
Provides a tax credit as an incentive for private employers to hire workers who were previously on public assistance.
Summary of provisions
Adds a new § 200 to the tax law, to provide a $1,000 per-employee credit to any employer who employs, for at least one year at over 30 hours per week, a worker who was a public assistance recipient for the two years preceding such employment.
Justification
Public assistance recipients often lack adequate education, skills, and experience that most jobs require, so employers are reluctant to hire them. They often do not have access to or are unaware of the resources that can provide them with the basic necessities for success in private industry. This bill will motivate employers of the private industry to seek out, train and employ these workers, so the State's volume of productive, competent individuals will increase. Financial independence will also be encouraged by this legislation, so reliance on public assistance will be reduced and New York State's economic status will continue to improve.
Fiscal implications
The legislation would result in a reduction in State tax revenue of approximately $34 million for SFY 2010-11.
