“Employment for You” measure to facilitate hiring of people

Starting tomorrow, businesses can apply under much more favorable conditions for the measure "Employment for You", which provides subsidized employment.

Financing totaling about 82 million has been provided for this purpose and will be distributed on a quota basis throughout the country. Businesses will now receive a subsidy for wages and social security contributions for the unemployed for six months, not for three.

However, employers will not be obliged to keep the employment of all workers for the period equal to the subsidy, as it previously was. 75% of employees will have to stay at work at the expense of the employer for a period of three months.
