This week on the blog I wanted to answer one of the most frequently asked questions we get at iRecruit. “Does iConnect include Work Opportunity Tax Credit Screening?” Anyone familiar with iRecruit knows that, yes, we have always included WOTC screening. In fact, CMS, the publisher of iRecruit also has a WOTC division.
What is the Work Opportunity Tax Credit?
The Work Opportunity Tax Credit, known as #WOTC, is a federal tax credit available to employers who hire individuals from disadvantaged groups of workers that have historically faced barriers to finding employment. Including WOTC Screening can save an employer significant amounts of money.
What is iConnect?
iConnect is iRecruit’s electronic onboarding module. iConnect is available as an add on to the Applicant Tracking Software. iConnect creates signable electronic versions of your paper onboarding forms and allows you to take control of the mountain of new hire paperwork and manage it online in your secure iRecruit database.
So, going back to the question “Does iConnect include Work Opportunity Tax Credit Screening?” the answer is Yes. Customers can include WOTC screening with either iRecruit and/or iConnect, or even outside of iRecruit. We will give you a link to give to new hires to complete the screening, which is done online via secure webpage.
From an Administration standpoint, you will be able to track all the activity, including eligibility and the total value of your tax credits.
