September 15, 2009 NEW BRUNSWICK - Governor Jon S. Corzine today unveiled the nation's first statewide effort to provide job creation incentives specifically for those workers who have exhausted all state and federal unemployment insurance benefits. The RETURN-to-Work program is designed to help get long-term unemployed New Jerseyans back on the payroll and into jobs while assisting employers grow their businesses by hiring new workers. Employers would receive up to $2,400 per newly hired employee. The RETURN (Re-Employment Training for Unemployed Residents of New Jersey)-to-Work program will offer "on-the-job" training grants to help employers cover the costs of training newly-hired workers who have been unable to find jobs and who have exhausted all extended unemployment insurance benefits. Private sector employers will be reimbursed for up to $5 per hour to help defray the extraordinary costs of on-the-job training, for up to $2,400 per newly hired employee. The jobs must pay at least $15 per hour and the employer must retain these workers in their jobs for at least six months. Jobs that qualify for RETURN-to-Work grants must increase an employer's total workforce and the new hires cannot displace existing workers. If you feel you qualify as per above, give me a call 888-236-7339, ext 703 and we'll help you get the program set up. Or, email me at KenBrice@CFOResources.com. Sincerely,
Ken Brice, President
