Wage subsidies provide financial incentives to employers who employ eligible job seekers with a disability or other barriers to employment. A wage subsidy can assist with the costs of wages and training during the initial months of employment.
Wage subsidies may be provided to employers to increase the competitiveness of job seekers with disability when seeking employment in open labour market conditions. They can also be used to address any additional demands an employer may perceive exist, or experience, in establishing an employee with a disability into the workplace compared to other employees.
