Employers with 100 or fewer Massachusetts employees are reimbursed up to 100% of a course through the Workforce Training Fund Express Program. Four steps. We do most of the paperwork.
- The one-minute check, on our first call.You pay unemployment insurance the contributory way. Every nonprofit chose one of two methods when it registered with the state, contributory or reimbursable; your finance office knows which, and UI Online shows it. Only the contributory method pays into the Workforce Training Fund. You have 100 or fewer W-2 employees in Massachusetts and a Massachusetts address. If the answer is no, we tell you before anything is booked.
- Three documents you already have or can get in a day.A Certificate of Good Standing from the Department of Revenue (MassTaxConnect). A Certificate of Compliance from the Department of Unemployment Assistance (UI Online). Your W-9.
- The application, about twenty minutes, online.We send you every course detail filled in: the course number, the hours, the dates, the price a seat. You submit at commcorp.formtitan.com. Your agreement starts 21 days after you submit, and the course can start any time in the six months after that.
- You pay us after the course. The state pays you back.We invoice, you pay, and you submit the reimbursement form with the list of trainees, our invoice and proof of payment. We prepare that packet for you. Training must finish within 12 months of your agreement date, and staff are paid their regular rate for the hours.
The four-hour course, Establishing Organizational Context While Maintaining Confidentiality, is $600 a seat. The program's caps are $300 an instructional hour, $3,000 an employee a course and $15,000 a company a year, so the seat is reimbursable in full. The same course cannot be funded twice for one employer within five years. The program's own guidelines.
