Pay subsidy is a subsidy paid to the employer. It allows employers to hire you and support you with developing your skills on the job. Pay-subsidised work helps you gain work experience, develop your professional skills and enter the open labour market.
An employer may be able to get a pay subsidy for hiring you if any of the following apply to you:
- you are between 15 and 24 years old or over 50 years old
- you do not have a general upper secondary degree or vocational upper secondary qualification
- you are entitled to an integration plan
- you have not been gainfully employed in the last six months
A pay subsidy may also be possible if
- you are hired as an apprentice,
- you have diminished work abilities, or
- you are over 60 and have been unemployed for a long time.
