Separate part-time positions cannot simply be added together as a substitute for the applicable full-time requirement.
Identify qualifying positions
Review actual hours, arrangements and the relevant job-evidence rules. A qualifying job-sharing arrangement is not the same as arbitrary aggregation of unrelated part-time work.
Qualifying capital at the correct level, a lawful and traceable source and path for it, at least ten full-time jobs for qualifying U.S. workers, and genuine engagement in the enterprise's management or policy formulation. A thorough personal funding history does not substitute for the project's job-creation evidence, and an attractive project presentation does not substitute for documenting the investor's lawful capital. At least ten qualifying full-time jobs must be attributable to your investment, and whether inherited positions count depends on the counting method available to you and on whether a preservation basis applies to this acquisition. The ten full-time jobs must be new jobs created by the investment for qualifying U.S. workers, unless the investment is in a troubled business meeting specific criteria, where preserving existing jobs may count. Determine the actual relationship rather than relying on a payment label, and distinguish direct employment from the applicable regional-center job methodology. The rights ordinarily attached to a limited partnership interest can satisfy this, but an assurance that nothing will be required is not a description of the requirement, and the offering documents have to be read for what they actually confer.
