In reply to the discussion: No corporation should get a tax cut which has any employee on public assistance. Matthew Dowd [View all]Lee-Lee
(6,324 posts)If companies are going to be treated differently depending on if an employee gets some form of assistance then they have to know if their employees or potential hires are in that category.
If you tried to penalize them on data they cant legally know the courts would toss that out in a heartbeatZ
All this will do is give them reason to not hire anyone on public assistance.
And since a huge range of factors can play into if a person or family get assistance you cant just say well they just pay over xxx and its not an issue. A single parent with multiple kids, one maybe special needs, can be making $15 a hour full time and still qualify for some programs, but their counterpart in the same job married with 1 kid wont.
A better system would be to reward companies that hire people on assistance and get them off of it.
