What assisted contracts exist today?

Verified 11 September 2024 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

An assisted contract allows the employer to benefit from aid to reduce the cost of hiring and/or training (e.g. State aid for a adapted company employing at least 55% workers with disabilities, exemption from employer contributions, training aid).

This type of contract is usually reserved for people who have difficulty in accessing employment. For example: a person collecting active solidarity income (SSA), young person, senior, person with a disability, person seeking long-term or very long-term employment, person receiving the benefitspecific solidarity allowance (SSA), no one over 50 without a job.
