WOTC Wednesday: Is There a Minimum Wage for the Work Opportunity Tax Credit?

CMS’s Brian Kelly answers your questions about the Work Opportunity Tax Credit.

Today’s WOTC Wednesday question: Is There a Minimum Wage for the Work Opportunity Tax Credit?

CMS Responds: There is no specific minimum wage related to the Work Opportunity Tax Credit program. So, it would be whatever the minimum wage is in your state.

When it comes to you calculating the tax credit, what matters is the total number of hours and wages worked. Which need to be 120 hours worked at a minimum, and their gross wages the employee receives from their start date.

CMS has over 25 years of experience and we know that between 10-15 percent of all new hires qualify for the WOTC program.
