President Obama signed into law the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act (HIRE), an economic stimulus plan that contains $15 billion dollars in new incentives for businesses which hire unemployed workers in 2010.

Two provisions that may affect you and your business: Eliminating the current 6.2% employer Social Security tax for eligible new hires. A $1,000 business tax credit for keeping eligible employees for at least 52 consecutive weeks.
