Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection
EU Employment Legislation and JobPath: Discussion (Resumed)
12:15 pm
Mr. John McKeon:
It ends at the end of 2019. There is also a run-out period because clients will be referred up until the end of 2017 and will then get to work with the providers for up to 18 months. If they are placed in employment at the end of the 18 months, there is then a sustainment fee for 12 months while they are in employment. That is the longest it can go. There is a run-out period of approximately two and half years, but we will stop referring clients at the end of 2019.
