Abstract

Faced with the difficult task of filling unglamorous jobs in a region with low unemployment, William C. Hargis, Jr. tried everything from welfare-to-work programs to recruiting at local churches. Then he got a phone call from an employee assistance program, asking if he''d ever thought about hiring people with disabilities. Since then, the company has successfully hired several employees with disabilities. In addition to increasing stability and morale, the decision allowed the company to take advantage of certain federal tax incentives, making it even more rewarding. William C. Hargis, Jr. is a general manager for Coyne Textile Services, a national industrial laundry company based in Syracuse, New York.
