Hire the Right Person
Myth - Hiring people with disability will cost me money • Fact - Businesses can
qualify for up to $7,400 in federal tax credits when hiring people with disability.
Myth - Hiring disabled workers increases workers compensation insurance rates • Fact - Insurance rates are
based solely on the relative hazards of the operation and the organization's accident experience, not on whether an employer has hired workers with disabilities.
Myth - Providing accommodations for people with disabilities is expensive • Fact – For the majority
of workers with disabilities who do need some sort of special equipment or accommodation, 56% of these cost less than $600, with many costing nothing at all.
Myth - Employees with disabilities have a higher absentee rate than employees without disabilities • Fact - Studies by firms
such as DuPont show that employees with disabilities are not absent any more than employees without disabilities.
Evolve your workforce – hire a person with a disability

Work Opportunity Tax Credit
• Covers losses up to $5000 with no deductible, and is free of-charge to the employer.
The Federal Bonding Program
• Allows any business located in the 95 Illinois enterprise zones a $500 credit on Illinois income taxes for each job created for which an economically disadvantage individual or dislocated worker is hired.
