Utah Back to Work Program

Did you know that as an employer you are eligible to an incentive bonus of up to $2,000 if you hire a worker who is on unemployment and a participant in the Utah Back to Work Program?

What is the Back to Work Program?

This is a program set up to assist eligible Unemployment Insurance (UI) claimant job seekers and eligible youth job seekers, who are actively seeking employment, by offering qualified employers a wage subsidy of up to $2,000 for a maximum of 3 months, for each eligible job seeker they hire for full time employment. $500 will be paid to the employer when the eligible job seeker is hired and $1,500 will be paid upon three-month retention of the job seeker.

As employers, your unemployment fee went up this year - hiring people off the unemployment rolls who are receiving benefits will help reduce this fee next year, will put people back to work and ... you will receive an incentive to offset your costs. Together, we can ignore the politicians and make a difference in our community by hiring these workers.
