Hiring grants

Hire employees

Cash support for new hires, target groups and stable employment. Filing the application is only one part. A well-managed grant starts before submission and may continue after the award decision.

A voucher is not the same as cash paid into your account

For each grant we separate the awarded amount, payment timing, whether you need to fund costs first and which part remains subject to justification.

Frequently asked questions about this grant

Can I hire the employee before checking the grant?

It depends on the call. Some programmes require conditions or procedures before the employment starts, so eligibility should be checked first.

Are these cash grants or vouchers?

For each grant we separate the awarded amount, payment timing, whether you need to fund costs first and which part remains subject to justification.

What happens if the subsidised employee leaves?

There is no universal rule. A resignation, dismissal or early termination can have different consequences depending on the call. Some programmes allow a replacement within a deadline; others may reduce the grant or require full or partial repayment.
