JobCover6
JobCover6 is a 6-month program that funds up to $10,400 in incentives for employers to employ a person recovering from a motor vehicle accident.
What is the program?
JobCover6 program has similarities to the JobCover Placement Program (JCPP) and has been developed to support people locate suitable work where ongoing employment cannot be confirmed with a new employer. The key difference between the two programs is the program duration i.e. JobCover6 allows for shorter periods of employment (from 12 to 26 weeks), while JCPP has a minimum employment requirement of 12 months.
The program provides incentives to an employer to help offset the costs of engaging and training a new worker (the injured person) and provides up to $400 per week for 6 months (maximum of $10,400).
JobCover6 also protects the employer from any costs associated with the aggravation of the existing injury(s) during the course of employment, for a period of 2 years.
