- Many employers are discouraged by the requirement to disclose financial information to a government entity. This can cause fear that the financial information may be shared with the IRS and harm the employer. Olive-Harvey representatives explain to employers that information that is shared is only for reporting purposes and is not shared with taxation entities.
- Some employers are hesitant to accept grant funding because of the time commitment and expertise needed to complete the documentation required by funders. Olive-Harvey representatives complete many forms for employers to reduce the administrative burden.
- Accepting grant funding may introduce new challenges for an employer. For instance, accepting funding may require an employee to be promoted or receive a wage increase. Hiring that employee is a decision that may have a long-term impact on a business and requires additional consideration. When this occurs, Olive-Harvey may assign an HR Lead to work with an employer to assess the opportunity more holistically.
