It does this by giving employers financial support to employ disabled people through a subsidy.<\/p><p>The job must be for at least 15 hours of work each week. Employers can claim the subsidy for up to 39 hours per week. The subsidy rate is between \u20ac7.50 and \u20ac10 per hour. The rate depends on how many employees the employer hires under the scheme.<\/p><p>To get the wage subsidy, the employee must have a limited ability to work due to their disability or health condition that requires the job\u2019s tasks or role to be significantly adapted. An employer can get the wage subsidy to help cover the costs of significantly adapting the job\u2019s tasks or role.<\/p><p>An employee on the scheme must have the same conditions of employment as other employees.<\/p><p>For more information:<\/p><p>Visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.ie\/en\/department-of-social-protection\/services\/wage-subsidy-scheme\/\">gov.ie\/Wage Subsidy Scheme<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a519834 e-flex e-con-boxed sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6a519834\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-572da906 e-con-full e-flex sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left e-con e-child\" data-id=\"572da906\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7259251d e-con-full e-flex sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7259251d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8a3dd88 sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-wp-widget-a2a_share_save_widget\" data-id=\"8a3dd88\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"wp-widget-a2a_share_save_widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<aside class=\"widget wp-widget-a2a_share_save_widget\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_36 addtoany_list\"><a class=\"a2a_button_x\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/x?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwp-demo-dsp.consultant.worknetix.wcc-group-webservices.com%2Fen-us%2Fen-us%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fpages%2F2436&amp;linkname=\" title=\"X\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/facebook?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwp-demo-dsp.consultant.worknetix.wcc-group-webservices.com%2Fen-us%2Fen-us%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fpages%2F2436&amp;linkname=\" title=\"Facebook\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_linkedin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/linkedin?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwp-demo-dsp.consultant.worknetix.wcc-group-webservices.com%2Fen-us%2Fen-us%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fpages%2F2436&amp;linkname=\" title=\"LinkedIn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_whatsapp\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/whatsapp?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwp-demo-dsp.consultant.worknetix.wcc-group-webservices.com%2Fen-us%2Fen-us%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fpages%2F2436&amp;linkname=\" title=\"WhatsApp\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_copy_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/copy_link?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwp-demo-dsp.consultant.worknetix.wcc-group-webservices.com%2Fen-us%2Fen-us%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fpages%2F2436&amp;linkname=\" title=\"Copy Link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/div><\/aside>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Accessibility Supports \u00a0 This page tells you about accessibility supports for employers.
