Do you know about the Wage Incentive Scheme?

The Wage Incentive Scheme (WIS) provides financial help to employers to reduce the cost of employing a young person. An incentive payment of up to £2,275 per young person is available to an employer once the employee has completed 26 weeks in continuous employment (qualifying period). Small businesses with 50 or fewer employees can claim a part payment after 8 weeks, with the balance at 26 weeks.

Employer Type	Part-time (16-29 hours)	Full Time (30 hours+)
50 or more employees-claim at 26 week stage.	£1,137.50	£2,275.00
Fewer than 50 employees-claim at 8 week stage.	£350.00	£700.00
Fewer than 50 employees-claim at 26 week stage.	£787.50	£1,575.00
If the employee leaves in weeks 14 to 25, this will attract a payment of half of the WIS at the rate for either full or part time. No payment will be made for employees leaving in the first 13 weeks.
50 or more employees-claim on employee leaving from 14 week stage	£568.75	£1137.50
Fewer than 50 employees-claim on employee leaving from 14 week stage.	£218.75	£437.50
