Press Releases

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

DETAILS:
Reducing federal income tax liability through participation in the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) program can provide beneficial tax relief for employers. As a result, this popular and highly effective program is being considered by Congress for possible renewal, making it important that employers understand the opportunity and are prepared for its re-instatement.

During "Prospects for WOTC Renewal: A Well-Known Lobbyist Explains," Ezrie Yellin, product manager, Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) and Paul Zurawski, senior vice president, Government Relations and Regulatory Management for Equifax, Inc., will join Evan M. Migdail, partner, DLA Piper and consultant to the National Employment Opportunity Network (NEON) to address the latest developments in Washington related to the renewal of WOTC as well as what actions employers need to take to be ready. Yellin, Zurawski and Migdail will discuss whether Congress will make the bill permanent, other key bills to consider and the positions of key lawmakers. In addition, they will explore the value of WOTC, from the perspective of employers as well as lawmakers, highlighting how data can be used to support the effectiveness of the program. Attendees will learn more about the status of WOTC, what State Workforce Agencies have been doing during the WOTC hiatus and new WOTC categories that could be added to the bill and ultimately benefit their organization.

Attendees: HR professionals and business leaders interested in learning more about the likely re-instatement of WOTC are encouraged to attend this educational session.
