Closed petition Introduce a new Employers' Employment Incentive to employ out of work jobseekers

We call on the Government to introduce a new Employers' Employment Incentive payment to businesses to employ out of work jobseekers, as opposed to those currently in employment who are seeking to just change employers in their career path.

More details

This financial incentive would supplement the existing incentives for businesses to hire apprentices, to ensure all demographic levels of society are catered for, and a quicker recovery to the UK economy.

This would drive unemployment down and help regenerate the UK economy, achieving more economic confidence and spending, resulting in a much stronger bounce back in the economy from the tragic circumstances of Covid-19.
