Host: Jim Willhight. Joining us Linn County Commissioner Roger Nyquist and Economic Development Director Keith Miller. We discussed The Linn County Youth Wage Grant for 2008.
Linn County announces its summer program to assist County small businesses (35 employees or less) in hiring first-time employment youth, a youth who has not previously worked for the employer.
The Board of Commissioners feel the current Oregon minimum wage of $7.95 per hour is making it difficult for Linn County small businesses to employ entry-level county youth. At this starting wage, small businesses are often not able to afford to hire entry-level youth who then don't gain valuable work experience. Last year was the second year this program was run. [Audio Archive Mp3 File].
The County will pay Linn County small businesses that employ first-time employment youth at a rate of $2.00/hr for hours worked from May 18th through October 4th 2008. Maximum employer reimbursement per new employee is $1,000. Each youth employed has to be legal to work in the U.S., and a Linn County resident, at least 14 years of age, but not older than 19. Youth 14 through 17 must be hired with a Bureau of Labor & Industries permit.
The employer has to certify they are in compliance with all Federal and State youth labor laws. The maximum any one employer can hire at one time is three (3) qualifying youth. The maximum reimbursement per employer is $3,000. 15 companies participated in 2006 hiring 33 youth receiving a total of $18,290. In 2007, 45 companies participated employing 85 youth. These companies received a total of $44,348 in reimbursed wages.
Businesses that participated in 2007 were located in Albany, Lebanon, Sweet Home, Brownsville, Tangent, Harrisburg, Linn County farms and forest operations. Businesses can start applying May 15th. Linn County has set aside $75,000 of economic development funds for this year's program.
Commissioner Roger Nyquist spearheaded this grant program the last two summers to help teenagers find work and help small businesses afford to pay them. For further information, contact Keith L. Miller, Linn County Business Development Coordinator 541-259-5848.
