£1000 to recruit!!
Did you know that Job Centre plus is offering £1000 for every eligible person that is recruited, who has been claiming Job Seeker Allowance for 6 months or more.
There are simple procedures to follow and making a claim is quick and easy.....here is how it is done:
- Ask your new employee if they have been claiming Job Seekers Allowance for 6 months or more.
- Check if they have a “Recruitment Voucher” from the Job Centre, and if so, ask the employee to complete part 1b of the voucher.
- Enter your name, address and payment details and return this to the address shown on the voucher.
- Job Centre Plus will validate your claim and if you are eligible, pay £500 into your business bank account within 15 days.
- After 26 weeks, Job Centre Plus will check to ensure that the individual is still employed, and if so, you will be paid the remaining £500.
- Employment must last for at least 26 weeks and be for an average minimum of 16 hours per week.
If you are recruiting 12 or more new employees then you must register first at recruitment.subsidy@jobcentreplus.gsi.gov.uk .
There is also financial help available for in-work training with funding up to £1500 available.
