The Opportunities for Participation Act provides two new instruments for supporting employment with social security obligations in the general and social job market.
These are §§ 16e and 16i SGB II.
§ 16e SGB II (Integration of the Long-Term Unemployed) creates financial incentives for employers to recruit long-term unemployed persons in the general job market. Here an employment relationship may be subsidised for up to two years, starting with 75% of the regularly paid salary.
§ 16i SGB II (Participation in the Job Market) provides an instrument for the support with wage subsidies of long-term unemployed persons with little access to the job market in the context of longer-term publicly subsidised employment with social security obligations (without the obligation to include them in the unemployment insurance scheme). This employment may be supported for up to five years, starting with 100% of the eligible wage/salary.
