Jobs Bureau Wage Subsidy Scheme

This new scheme has just been introduced to help employers in taking on new staff.

The scheme is part funded by the Welsh Council for Voluntary Action (WCVA) is being delivered by Menter Mon.

· The scheme gives businesses a 50% contribution to a participants wage – based on a rate of £8.21 per hour and up to £1707 per person

· The business can have a participant placement on the scheme for a period of either :

20 hours pw for 16 weeks  /  16 hours pw for 26 weeks

· Participants have to be 25 or over and not currently in employment

· Menter Mon pay the participant weekly in full and the business pays Menter Mon a 50% contribution towards the wage via a weekly mandate

· The employer can pay more than the hourly rate and employ them for further hours. However, this will have to be a separate arrangement and not be part of the scheme

· There is also a small grant for training and clothing available to each candidate

· It is hope that there will be a permanent position with the business at the end of the scheme

· There is no paperwork or forms to complete. Menter Mon will handle all the paperwork and HR matters directly with the participant
