State payments to employers for new positions

gears

I've heard about a new scheme where the state will contribute towards the pay for a company employing someone who has been on assistance/benefit for 12 months or more.
I don't know the name of the scheme or any more details but was wondering if anyone here could give me some info on it or point me in the right direction. Thanks

That's it. Thank you very much.

I've had a look at this, would it be suitable for someone who is on a Job Bridge placement to get a paid job in the same company or would that be excluded from it?

People taking part in internships under JobBridge and the Work Placement Programme (WPP) who were getting a qualifying payment prior to their internship may be employed directly from these schemes once the required qualifying period and conditions are satisfied.

Now thats interesting. To me this seems that some one on Job Bridge could be employed, with out the job being advertised internall or externally, if it's basically the same as what they have been doing all along?

A JobBridge intern can be given employment by the host organization without the job being advertised. The internship was advertised. A JobBridge intern could cross over to the JobsPlus employment scheme three months into an internship if they and employer met all the JobsPlus eligibility requirements.

20. I have an intern on JobBridge can I employ this person under the JobsPlus Incentive?

Persons pursuing internships under Job Bridge may be employed directly from these schemes once the required qualifying period and conditions are satisfied. An employer and employee should apply on-line as normal in these circumstances. Once eligibility has been confirmed employment directly from an internship can be facilitated.

21. I am very happy with my intern and intend to offer them full time position after 3 months on JobBridge, will they be eligible for incentive?

You can hire your intern to a full-time position after 3 months; they will however only be eligible for JobsPlus if they have the required 312 days on the Live Register in the previous 18 months or 624 days in the previous 30 months. The employee can check this by logging on to www.jobsplus.ie
