Some of these issues are arising from the employer engagement subgroup within the Labour Market Council. Is there any danger of perverse incentive coming towards a situation where the in-work supports that are so vital to and needed by people are calculated in? Might we be building towards having employers planning for and assuming in-work supports in their calculations on expenditure and so forth? Can anything be done on that?
