available to you:
DOWN SIZING, MERGERS, AND LAYOFFS
LA LINK can
help you react quickly to changing economic conditions. Businesses are recognizing that there are hidden and
often very significant costs associated with layoffs and downsizing. At the same time, many companies are
understanding that significant benefits maybe realized through strategies that avoid downsizing and layoffs
altogether, or carry out these activities in more strategic - and, ultimately, less-costly - ways. Through collaborative
partnerships, LA LINK can offer several helpful resources for employers and employees dealing with a downsizing/layoff situation. For more information, contact LA
LINK, a dedicated group of professionals ready to assist you to adapt to changing conditions.

STATE AND FEDERAL TAX INCENTIVES
LA LINK can assist you in finding out if you qualify for up to $8,500 in federal tax credits for each eligible job seeker you hire.
The Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC), which includes the Welfare-to-Work Tax Credit (WtW), has two purposes:
- To promote the hiring of individuals who qualify as a member of a target group, and
- To provide a federal tax credit to employers who hire these individuals.
As an employer, you may qualify for a tax credit of up to $8,500 if the employee is a member of a designated target group
and meets that group's specific requirements. There are nine target groups for WOTC eligibility. Employers may
claim the Work Opportunity Tax Credit or the Welfare-to-Work Tax Credit for a total of two years. Contact your nearest LA LINK office for more information.
