The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs and the Unified Social Service presented the project "On approving the program for ensuring the employment of persons with disabilities and persons over 63 years of age" for public discussion. The project proposes to provide support to those employers (with the exception of public service bodies, as well as those organizations whose charter capital is 50 percent or more of the state or community), who will sign a labor contract with persons with disabilities and persons over 63 with a normal working time regime for at least 3-6 months.
Within the framework of the program, it is proposed to provide the employer with income tax compensation calculated from the salary of the employed person on a quarterly basis, in the amount of 50 percent for the first three months of work activity, but not more than 25,000 AMD per month, and for the 4-6 months of work activity in the amount of 100 percent, but not more than 50,000 AMD, while also providing the income tax calculated from the salary of the beneficiary for the 1-3 months. A sum of 50 percent, but not more than 25,000 AMD per month.
In case the working relationship between the employed person and the employer continues for one more year after the compensation is provided, it is recommended to provide the employer with a one-time support in the amount of AMD 100,000.
It is proposed to implement the program in 2026 to ensure the employment of 200 beneficiaries.
