Good Hiring Practices to Remember
  • Every applicant should complete a standard application.
  • Never write the applicants race, sex, religion, age or national origin on the application or any other pre-offer document.
  • Do not write anything on applications or resumes; take notes on a separate sheet of paper and then destroy it after the position has been filled.
  • Always provide applicants with a copy of the position's job description; ask them if they can perform the duties of the position with or without reasonable accommodations.
  • Ask every person interviewing for the same position the same interview questions.
  • Never ask an applicant questions about race, religion, age or national origin.
  • Never ask an applicant if they have or are planning to have children.
  • At the conclusion of an interview, let the applicant know when a hiring decision will be made.
  • Always send rejection letters to everyone who applied for a position but was not chosen to interview.
  • Always call every applicant who interviewed for a position, regardless if they were hired.

Kansas Offers Employers High Performance Incentive Tax Break

Kansas employers are eligible to receive benefits from the High Performance Incentive Program (HPIP). The intent of HPIP is to encourage companies to expand their capital investment and raise employee wage and training levels through Kansas income tax credits and sales tax project exemptions.  

  

HPIP offers employers four potential benefits: 

 

Kansas Investment Tax Credit

A 10% income tax credit for eligible capital investment that exceeds $50,000 at a company's facility, with a carry-forward that can be used in any of the next 10 years in which the qualified facility re-qualifies for HPIP.

 

Employee Training Tax Credit

A training tax credit of up to $50,000.

 

Sales Tax Project Exemptions

A sales tax exemption to use in conjunction with the company's eligible capital investment at its qualified facility. 

 

Business Assistant Programs

Priority consideration for access to other business assistance programs.

 

If you have questions about the HPIP Program and how it might benefit your company visit the Kansas Department of Commerce Website or contact HPIP Manager Ed Bryan at (785) 296-7174  or ebryan@kansascommerce.com.

 

If you have employee training needs, contact ProValue.
