A job is attributable to the qualified investment if:
1.
The employee’s service is performed or his base of operations is at the new or expanded facility; and
2.
The position did not exist prior to the making of the investment in the new or expanded facility; and
3.
The position exists only because of the investment in the new or expanded facility.
CALCULATION OF FULL-TIME EQUIVALENT EMPLOYEES
The hours of qualified part-time employees are aggregated to determine the number of equivalent full-time
employees for the purpose of determining the applicable new jobs percentage. However, they may not be
aggregated for the purpose of determining when a job is attributable to the qualified investment.
Part-time employment qualifies if the employee works at least 20 hours per week for at least 6 months or 520 hours
per year (26 weeks @ 20 hours per week). Full-time employment is 140 hours per month or 1,680 hours per year
(140 hours times 12 months). However for investments in place prior to March 10, 1990 full-time employment is 120
hours per month or 1,440 hours per year (120 hours times 12 months).
