But let's explore further why the bill is so important -- both for unemployed workers and the employers hiring them. After all, as a CFO, controller, business owner, vice president of human resources, hiring manager, accountant, or anyone else with a stake in your business's bottom line, the HIRE Act could have a significant impact on your business. What is the HIRE Act? The $17.5 billion legislation, signed into law by President Obama on March 18, 2010, gives a potential tax exemption and credit to businesses that hire unemployed workers. Specifically, the HIRE Act grants businesses that hire workers unemployed 60 days or longer an exemption from the 6.2 percent Social Security payroll taxes for each worker for the remainder of 2010. Additionally, if workers are retained for one year, participating businesses get a tax credit of $1,000.]]> http://thehiringsite.careerbuilder.com/2010/07/27/the-hire-act-what-does-it-mean-for-your-business/feed/atom/ 0 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/thehiringsiteposts/~3/yHi2LcwdP3A/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/thehiringsiteposts/~3/yHi2LcwdP3A/#comments Mon, 26 Jul 2010 21:16:42 +0000 Mary Lorenz http://thehiringsite.careerbuilder.com/?p=8201 http://thehiringsite.careerbuilder.com/2010/07/26/are-you-underestimating-overqualified-workers/feed/atom/ 0 http://parallelhr.com/uncategorized/congratulations-to-our-awesome-employees/ http://parallelhr.com/uncategorized/congratulations-to-our-awesome-employees/#comments Thu, 22 Jul 2010 20:29:46 +0000 valerie http://parallelhr.com/?p=3052 http://parallelhr.com/uncategorized/congratulations-to-our-awesome-employees/feed/ 0 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/thehiringsiteposts/~3/EcdUpoOXCZY/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/thehiringsiteposts/~3/EcdUpoOXCZY/#comments Wed, 21 Jul 2010 21:52:11 +0000 Mary Lorenz http://thehiringsite.careerbuilder.com/?p=8135 Could this be a good sign? CareerBuilder’s latest nationwide survey, released today, shows that small businesses will be hiring in the second half of 2010. Considering small business is one of the major drivers for economic recovery and job growth, I think the answer’s a definite …hopefully? Findings from the survey of more than 1,300 employers in businesses with 500 or fewer employees indicate that in the second half of the year, 32 percent of companies with 500 or fewer employees plan to add new employees. Twenty-four percent of companies with 50 or fewer employees said the same. Seeing these plans for growth mean not only good things for small businesses, but should come as good news about the state of the economy overall. In a statement for the press release, Brent Rasmussen, President of CareerBuilder North America, said, “Historically, it has been the small business sector that has created the most jobs at the end of an economic downturn, allowing the overall job market to bounce back faster.”]]> http://thehiringsite.careerbuilder.com/2010/07/21/small-business-hiring-shows-promise-for-economic-relief/feed/atom/ 0 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/thehiringsiteposts/~3/_BpMn8SNKH8/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/thehiringsiteposts/~3/_BpMn8SNKH8/#comments Wed, 21 Jul 2010 00:47:18 +0000 Amy Chulik http://thehiringsite.careerbuilder.com/?p=8040 http://thehiringsite.careerbuilder.com/2010/07/20/former-employees-should-you-rehire-them/feed/atom/ 0 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/thehiringsiteposts/~3/LTBJGLjQpY8/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/thehiringsiteposts/~3/LTBJGLjQpY8/#comments Thu, 01 Jul 2010 21:26:14 +0000 Amy Chulik http://thehiringsite.careerbuilder.com/?p=7777 http://thehiringsite.careerbuilder.com/2010/07/01/hot-off-the-press-download-your-free-mid-year-job-forecast-2010-here/feed/atom/ 0 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/thehiringsiteposts/~3/l-94WQztQNQ/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/thehiringsiteposts/~3/l-94WQztQNQ/#comments Wed, 16 Jun 2010 16:54:09 +0000 Amy Chulik http://thehiringsite.careerbuilder.com/?p=7516 This Sunday is Father's Day, and while it's a great excuse to spoil dads everywhere with the latest gadgets, grill supplies, or bacon of the month club memberships, a little extra quality time with Dad might be in order this year, in light of results from CareerBuilder's annual Father's Day survey. Survey results among 800 working fathers who are employed full-time showed that a still-struggling economy is causing many working dads to experience more stress, more work -- and, not surprisingly, less time spent with their families. Why the stress?

• One in ten working dads said their spouse or significant other has become unemployed in the last 12 months, with 50 percent of those dads indicating it's causing stress at home.
• Forty-two percent of working dads said they are the sole providers in their household
• Nine percent of working fathers say they have taken on a second job in the last 12 months to provide for their family.

Office overtime on overdrive As many of you know firsthand, leaner staffs have led to fewer people handling a higher volume of work. This has made it more difficult for working fathers to achieve a healthy work/life balance, as many are stuck at the office working longer hours -- and less time with their kids. But just how many hours?

• Sixty-three percent of working dads said they work more than 40 hours per week.
• Three in ten (31 percent) working dads who take work home reported they typically bring work home five days a week or more.
• Thirty percent bring work home on the weekends.

And how much less time with their kids?

• Close to four in ten (37 percent) of working dads said they spend two hours or less with their children each work day.
• More than three in ten (35 percent) reported they missed two or more significant events in their child’s life due to work in the last year.

How to be a better juggler These are bleak statistics, but as Mary Delaney, one of CareerBuilder's own busy working mothers, has said, there are things you can do to better balance work and family. and now, Jason Ferrara, VP Corporate Marketing at CareerBuilder and a father of two, shares his tips for working dads everywhere to better manage the delicate balancing act of providing for one's family -- and being there as a partner and a father.]]> http://thehiringsite.careerbuilder.com/2010/06/16/5-tips-for-overworked-fathers-to-better-balance-work-and-family-life-just-in-time-for-fathers-day/feed/atom/ 0
