Monitoring and Enforcement

According to Good Jobs First, Monitoring is an important component because without effective monitoring, communities may never know whether a company has kept its side of the bargain.  Many observers believe that monitoring must be done by an independent agency in order to be effective.  

Penalties for non-performance or a shortfall in job creation or other promised benefits can come in many forms: a company may be prohibited from reapplying for an incentive program; or a company may be required to return all or part of the money received.  This latter option is called a clawback and a number of states and municipalities have written these provisions into their subsidy laws.

An important part of monitoring and enforcement, therefore, is public disclosure of the agreements and the company's progress in those agreements.
