The employer could transfer an employee employed with the subsidy to perform work tasks for another employer (user company). Instead of the current notification procedure, the employer would have to apply for the transfer at the TE Office or the local government pilot on employment. During the transfer, the maximum amount of pay subsidy would be the amount that the user company could be granted if it applied for the subsidy itself. However, the amount of subsidy could not exceed the amount granted to the actual employer. The amount of pay subsidy would be reduced for the duration of the transfer if the user company were entitled to a lower pay subsidy than the actual employer.
The objective is to prevent distortions of competition and ensure that the tasks in the user company are appropriate from the perspective of paying the pay subsidy. The proposal would also prevent distortion of competition by requiring the user company to pay compensation for the transferred person. The compensation paid by the user company could be an amount that equals at least the user company’s cost of labour if it applied for the pay subsidy itself. It is not possible to set a precise ceiling for the compensation.
