Traditionally skilled trades - construction, manufacturing and transportation - have provided few benefits and incentives to employees. By reversing that trend, employers are well poised to retain staff. Some possible benefits (and they are tax deductible) include:

  • paid vacation
  • time off with pay for medical or dental appointments
  • time off to participate in work-related training
  • partial or full payment of training costs
