If your employees work remotely for a Massachusetts business but live outside the state, they are eligible for funding through the General Program; provided they are W-2 and on the Massachusetts payroll which contributes to Massachusetts taxes, and the company pays into Massachusetts unemployment system (UI) on their behalf. In this case, they are considered Massachusetts payroll employees and are eligible to participate in your General Program training grant.
If they work for your Massachusetts business but are paid through their own state’s payroll tax system, they should not be counted in your Massachusetts full-time/part-time employee numbers and are not eligible for the WTFP General Program grant.
