Employer Incentive scheme – JobsPlus
JobsPlus is an employer incentive which encourages and rewards employers who employ jobseekers on the Live Register.
Employers are paid an incentive monthly in arrears over a 2-year period. It provides 2 levels of regular cash payments, €7,500 and €10,000 respectively.
In addition, the Government recently announced under the July Jobs Stimulus that 8,000 recruitment subsidies of up to €7,500 over 2 years will be available for employers to hire someone aged under 30 who is on the Live Register or getting the COVID-19 Pandemic Unemployment Payment.
Employers must meet the following conditions:
- The business must be registered as a PAYE employer with Revenue
- The employer must be compliant with Irish tax and employment laws. Employers will be asked to give permission to the DEASP to check their status with Revenue by supplying a Tax Clearance Certificate access number (TCAN) using Revenue’s online service.
- The employer must offer full-time employment of over 30 hours per week, spanning at least 4 days per week. The eligible employee must be on payroll and subject to PAYE and PRSI.
- Employers must give details of their workforce prior to application. Where an increase in the work force is not evident, employers will be asked to provide additional information to the DEASP to support the application.
