The Idaho State Senate passed the Hire One Act yesterday. This is a “new jobs” program, meaning that in order to earn the benefit, a qualifying employer must add at least one new employee or full-time equivalent. To determine if a new employee has been added, Idaho employers look back at their average employment during the past one to three years.
Apparently, the bill was passed first by the Idaho House. The Senate version, which passed on Tuesday, included amendments which are now sent back to the House for concurrence. Idaho Governor C.L Otter is a strong supporter of the legislation.
