BBSI is expanding the way we support business owners with the launch of our Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) program, delivered in partnership with Equifax Workforce Solutions.
This program helps BBSI clients capture available federal tax credits tied to hiring, while reducing the administrative complexity that often prevents businesses from fully participating.
The Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) is a federal tax incentive that encourages employers to hire individuals from certain targeted groups who may face barriers to employment.
Eligible employers can receive tax credits that help offset federal income tax liability. These credits are tied to qualified hires and can provide meaningful cost savings over time.
However, the process is often underutilized due to:
Without the right support, businesses may miss opportunities to claim credits they qualify for.
BBSI has partnered with Equifax Workforce Solutions to provide a fully managed WOTC program that simplifies participation from start to finish.
As the program administrator, Equifax manages:
This combined approach allows clients to participate in WOTC without adding internal workload.
BBSI’s WOTC program is designed to deliver clear, measurable benefits:
The WOTC process is deadline-driven and detail-heavy. Outsourcing administration reduces the burden on internal teams.
WOTC regulations are complex and frequently updated. A specialized partner helps reduce errors and missed credits.
Many employers do not have internal tax credit expertise. This program provides access to a dedicated WOTC administrator.
Clients receive access to a secure portal to track:
Clients are only billed when credits are successfully realized, aligning cost directly with results.
Even though WOTC has been available for years, many eligible employers do not take full advantage of it.
Common reasons include:
By integrating WOTC into hiring and onboarding workflows, businesses can capture credits more consistently.
More than just a tax benefit, the WOTC program can support broader workforce and business goals.
Employers can use WOTC to offset labor costs, improve hiring efficiency and ROI, expand access to talent pools, and support inclusive hiring initiatives. When managed correctly, WOTC becomes a practical extension of workforce planning and cost control.
