Wage subsidies provide a financial incentive to eligible employers when considering the employment of job seekers with disability or with other barriers to employment. Wage subsidies are payments made to employers to help cover the costs of wages and training in the first few months of employment of a person with disability.
Wage subsidies may be provided to employers to increase the competitiveness of job seekers with disability when seeking employment in open labour market conditions. It can also be used to address any additional demands an employer may perceive exist or experience in establishing an employee with disability into the workplace compared to other employees.
