Identify and manage federal, state, and local tax credits, including WOTC and location-based incentives, to reduce costs and reinvest in your people.
Support compliant hiring with I-9 management, E‑Verify guidance, and onboarding tools that create a seamless start for new hires.
Tax credits, hiring compliance, and workforce programs each serve a distinct purpose, but together they support broader organizational and workforce outcomes.

We help employers identify, screen, and manage Work Opportunity Tax Credit programs that support hiring initiatives, reduce labor costs, and strengthen workforce participation.

We help businesses evaluate and secure state and local incentives tied to expansion, hiring, capital investment, and long-term growth strategies.
Tax credits, hiring compliance, and workforce programs are often viewed through an administrative lens. At Maximus, we've always believed they represent something more.
