Government’s Financial Subsidies or Assistance

(a) Allowance for Employers 
The Work Orientation and Placement Scheme (WOPS) launched by the Selective Placement Division of LD aims to encourage employers to offer job vacancies to persons with disabilities through the provision of allowance. Under WOPS, employers will be granted an allowance for each employee with disabilities they employ if they provide appropriate training/support and appoint a mentor for such an employee, and meet other prescribed requirements.

(b) Job Attachment Allowance & Wage Subsidy
The Supported Employment Training for Persons with Disabilities aims at enhancing the employability of persons with disabilities through training, including providing vocational training, on-the-job coaching, and arranging job attachment (the service operators will arrange job attachment for each participant. During the job attachment period, which is not more than three months, the participants who can fulfill the required attendance will have the job attachment allowance). During the job trial period, the employers will receive a wage subsidy for a maximum period of 6 months.

(c) Financial Incentive for Mentors of Employees with Disabilities
To help users of subvented vocational rehabilitation services to adapt to their new jobs, the “Financial Incentive Scheme for Mentors of Employees with Disabilities" encourages employers to appoint mentors to new recruits with disabilities. The mentor will be given a one-off incentive pay.

(d) Procurement of Assistive Devices and Workplace Modifications
To encourage employers to employ persons with disabilities, SWD has launched the Support Programme for Employees with Disabilities, which provides employers with a one-off subsidy in respect of each employee with disabilities for procurement of assistive devices and/or workplace modifications.

(e) Funding for Setting Up of Small Business
The Enhancing Employment of People with Disabilities through Small Enterprise Project under SWD aims to assist non-governmental organisations in setting up and running small businesses employing persons with disabilities so that they can secure genuine employment in a carefully planned and sympathetic working environment.
