PHOENIX, AZ — October 7, 2025

Universal Background Screening (UBS) has announced a new partnership with VerifyToday, expanding its suite of employer solutions to include the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) program — a federal incentive designed to reward businesses for hiring individuals from targeted groups that face barriers to employment.

For many organizations, the WOTC program represents a significant yet often overlooked opportunity: employers can receive up to $9,600 per eligible hire, but complex compliance requirements and short filing windows often make it difficult to capture those savings.

Through this partnership, UBS clients can now access a fully managed WOTC solution that removes the administrative burden and maximizes potential credits. VerifyToday’s technology and compliance team handle all certifications, deadlines, and audit defense, giving employers full visibility through real-time dashboards and detailed reporting.

“Our goal at UBS has always been to help clients reduce risk and drive value through smarter hiring,” said Aaron Charbonnet, Chief Revenue Officer at UBS. “By adding WOTC to our suite of solutions, we’re not only helping companies make great hiring decisions — we’re helping them unlock significant tax savings on the hires they’re already making.”

The partnership operates on a pay-for-performance model, meaning employers pay no upfront costs — fees are only due once credits are successfully captured.

By integrating VerifyToday’s WOTC expertise into the UBS platform, clients can now streamline background screening, compliance, and tax credit capture all in one place.
