A significant increase in the number of telecommuting work-from-home jobs in Hawaii if bills being presented in the Hawaii state legislature are passed, according to an article in a recent edition of the Pacific Business News.
If passed, the bills, Senate Bill 2238 and House Bill 3271, would give employers in Hawaii tax credits based on the number of telecommuting workers they employ, the number of hours those workers log, and the location of the company.
Employers could recoup from 75 to 100% of the expenses they incur for employing telecommuting workers.
According to results of a study by the Dieringer Research Group conducted in 2007, the number of telecommuters in the United States has increased by 65 percent in the last three years. And if the new bills are passed by Hawaii lawmakers, that number will spike in the Aloha State.
