In addition, as the unemployment rate rises, the more vulnerable employees in the labor market, such as people with disabilities, are more likely to be affected. Therefore, support for people with disabilities will be strengthened in various measures, including the government ’s public and private sectors. About 30,000 time-limited jobs have been created, and it is currently being explored how to use some of the above-mentioned 30,000 time-limited jobs to allow social enterprises to employ more disabled people.
In addition, the Employment Promotion Program will also increase the relevant on-the-job training allowance for job-seekers with disabilities. The monthly cap for the first three months will be increased from $ 7,000 to $ 8,000, and the monthly cap for the next six months will be increased to $ 6,000 to 6,000 Yuan; The Labour Department will also provide a retention allowance for each eligible job seeker who participates in the above-mentioned employment schemes through a pilot method. After staying for three months, there will be $ 3,000. .
If employers are using the "Employment Show Talents Program" to hire people with disabilities and have also opened an MPF account for them, they can benefit from the "employment protection" program.
