  • Is there a salary minimum for jobs to be eligible?
    • No
  • Are there incentive clawbacks?
    • There are not clawbacks to the $5,000 retention bonus received at one-year of employment.
    • Each individual partner company may have clawbacks to their sign-on bonus. Partner company may also offer a position not eligible for the sign-on bonus, in which case that position would not qualify for the second retention bonus. Those details would be specified as part of the hiring process and are solely between the applicant and the partner company.
  • Will incentives be paid in lump sums or installments?
    • Lump sums. One payment of a minimum of $5,000 from the company based upon their terms and a second $5,000 payment from the Chamber at your one-year work anniversary.
  • Are the incentives taxable?
    • The campaign incentive paid to recipients is income. No tax withholdings of any kind shall be made and recipients will receive an IRS Form 1099. It is the responsibility of recipients to report the income to the appropriate state and federal tax authorities and to pay any taxes due on such income.
  • How long must I live in Central Arkansas to receive the incentives?
    • Sign-on bonus will be paid per the employer terms
    • Chamber's retention $5,000 bonus will be paid at the applicant's one year work anniversary
  • If I'm an Arkansas resident outside of Central Arkansas am I eligible for this campaign?
    • No
  • Am I required to become a resident?
    • Yes
  • I was living outside Central Arkansas when I applied, but am now living in Little Rock, am I still eligible?
    • If you relocated to Little Rock on your own, without a job placement from a partner company, then you are no longer eligible for this incentive.
  • Must I accept a job with one of the partner companies? What if I have found employment with a company not on your list, am I eligible?
    • No. Employment with a partner company is a requirement to be eligible for the incentive.
  • Can both me and my spouse receive the incentive if we each accept positions and relocate?
    • Yes. Both individuals would need to apply to the campaign and each would need to be matched and accept a job placement.
  • Can I apply if I'm already interviewing for a position in Little Rock?
    • Yes, as long as the company is a partner company with the campaign, agrees to their portion of the incentive and you apply through the campaign website prior to accepting the position and relocating.
  • Is the Little Rock Regional Chamber selecting the applicants for jobs?
    • No. All resumes are shared with all partner companies with matching professional areas of interest. The individual companies review resumes and select candidates to reach out to for specific job applications.
  • If I switch jobs to a different company after nine months of working, am I still eligible for the $5,000 retention bonus?
    • No. You must work for the same partner company for one year. You may change positions within the same company, but you must be employed by the same partner company at your one-year work anniversary.
  • If I receive a job offer through this campaign, does it come with an employment contract for guaranteed employment up to the one-year work anniversary?
    • No. Arkansas is an employment-at-will state. If hired, the partner company employer may terminate employment at their will.
