Apply to the employment agency for reimbursement of costs for trial employment of people with disabilities

Service Description

People with disabilities or severely disabled people should be given the opportunity to prove their strengths and abilities on the job market. As a company, you can facilitate the entry or re-entry into working life with a trial employment. During this time, all participants can try out working together for up to 3 months in a fixed-term employment relationship.

The Federal Employment Agency can reimburse you for the costs you incur as part of this trial employment. This usually includes

  • Wage/salary costs, including the employer's social security contributions and
  • other benefits based on statutory or collectively agreed regulations
  • Contributions and contributions to the employers' liability insurance association

The Federal Employment Agency is responsible for the district in which the person you wish to employ on a trial basis has their main place of residence or habitual abode at the start of the trial employment relationship.
