Corporate Employment Incentives

I said when I started this HR blog that I would not inject any political biases or humor. Well given that our new president elect will take office in January there are a few opportunities for companies to cash in on the tax incentives that Obama wants to pass. Given the history of tax changes expect them to be retroactive to January. Think about how your company can take advantage:

• hiring employees through state unemployment offices
• incentive based positions with up to $3,000 in tax credits

But you should also think about retooling your corporate practices and educate or reeducate your management on union organizing. The new president elect favors union organizing and co-sponsored a bill "the Employee Free Choice Act". Keep your ears to the ground on this one since it requires companies to recognize a union when a majority of workers sign cards. Yikes!!!!!!!!!
