Doesnt this new law inhibit rapid turnover tho? Since it takes 5 years to get the full deduction of an employee’s salary, there is an incentive to keep the employee around. OTOH, the souless bean counters who want quarterly (if not shorter) time horizons, will simply decrease starting salaries and use other methods to be net zero. If they do shaft the software engineers, then the converse is true-no employee should stay at a job more than a year because only the corp will benefit as the deduction grows
Not clear to me that this is true. The expense was incurred, they just claim it over 5 years. It's not clear that the same employee is required to be there in subsequent years to claim the expense from year 1 in year 2.
