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 targets of the SWD’s On the Job Training Programme for People with Disabilities are persons with disabilities aged 15 or above, while those of the Sunnyway-On the Job Training Programme for Young People with Disabilities are persons with disabilities aged between 15 and 29 or young people in this age group with early signs of mental illness as assessed by psychiatrist. Operators of the programmes will conduct assessments and provide employment training and job-related counselling for the participants. During the job attachment period, participants who can fulfill the required attendance will be given a job attachment allowance. During the job trial period, an employer will receive a wage subsidy.

(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.
