Mr. John McKeon:
The employer does not get anything. There is a payment to the worker. The payment to the worker is a top-up to their social welfare payment to make sure that they at least get the minimum wage. I think it is €103 a week at the moment. That is to ensure they get at least the minimum wage for the hours worked.
