The employers that will hire persons out of work from vulnerable groups could apply for state subsidies for partially covering the salaries of these employees. In its June 14 sitting, Parliament adopted a bill concerning the promotion of employment in the final reading, IPN reports.

Under the bill, the monthly subsidies will represent 30% of the average official salary for the previous year, for a period of six months for each employed person from such groups.

The given groups are: persons aged 50 and over; persons freed from jail; victims of human trafficking who benefitted from psychological and social rehabilitation; persons who struggle against drug addiction; victims of domestic violence and other vulnerable categories.

Subsides will also be offered for creating or adjusting the workplace for persons with disabilities employed on an individual work contract for an indefinite period of time. In these cases, there will be covered 50% of the costs incurred by the employer to create or adjust the workplace, while the subsidy will not exceed ten average official monthly salaries for the previous year for each created or adjusted workplace.
