Benefits for accompanying help in working life according to SGB IX to employers

Detailed description

As an employer, you can apply for so-called "benefits for participation in working life" for your severely disabled employees or those with equivalent status. The benefits are intended to ensure that jobs are created or maintained for severely disabled people or those with equivalent status. Possible benefits include:

  • Financial support for the creation of jobs and training places
  • Financial support for disability-friendly workplace design
  • Provision of work assistance
  • Advice and support
  • Wage subsidies
  • Prevention and health promotion

The scope of support is determined individually and depends on the service you require.
