They only get paid by results - the result being somebody taking up sustainable employment of more than 30 hours per week for which he or she is paid. They also only get paid if the person sustains the job for more than 13 weeks. That is a good model. If it is such a lucrative thing, I do not see the other groups signing up for payment by results. If payment by results is so lucrative, why are other providers, be it local employment or community employment schemes, not seeking to move to that model?
