This can make you eligible to receive a tax credit of between $2,400 and $9,600 depending on the qualifying category.

Setting Competitive Salaries to Attract and Retain Talent

Setting Competitive Salaries to Attract and Retain Talent

Salary can be a key factor for candidates when deciding to accept your job offer, and for employees considering whether or not to stay.  While salary can be dependent on a number of factors including the internal budget, the cost of living in your area, experience or seniority of the candidate, and perhaps even previous salaries. Being able to present a competitive offer will help you avoid rejections, and can even help you retain your staff.
