Application for the granting of wage subsidies when hiring employees with placement barriers in accordance with §§ 88 ff. of the German Social Code, Third Book (SGB III)

This support goals at integrating employees with placement barriers into the labour market. Employers can receive subsidies towards wage costs for the recruitment of employees with placement barriers to compensate for reduced performance (for example in the case of unusually long familiarisation periods).

Conditions

Type of subsidy
Subsidy towards wages

Amount
Maximum 50 per cent of the pay to be taken into account and the employer's flat-rate share of the total social security contribution. The remuneration regularly paid by the employer is eligible, provided it does not exceed the collectively agreed remuneration or, if there is no collectively agreed regulation, the remuneration customary for comparable activities and provided it does not exceed the contribution assessment ceiling for labour promotion. The employer's flat-rate share of the total social security contribution is also eligible.

Duration
Maximum twelve months

Notes:

• The amount of the subsidy and the duration of the subsidy depend on the extent of the employee's reduced performance, i.e. the difference between the reduction in work performance and the requirements of the respective job.
• The recruitment of certain groups of people, such as older people over 50 or people with a disability, can be subsidised with higher grants and for longer than one year.
• There is no legal entitlement to the subsidy.

• Copy of the employment contract
• Completed questionnaire to check the eligibility requirements for the granting of an integration subsidy

• the employment is with a previous employer with whom the employee was subject to compulsory insurance for more than three months during the last four years prior to the start of the subsidy.

• are temporarily not in employment,
• are seeking employment subject to compulsory insurance and are available to the placement efforts of the employment agency and
• have registered as unemployed with the Employment Agency.

• must expect to end their employment in the near future and
