Subsidies of 450 euros for companies that employ people with disabilities

One of the measures to stimulate companies is the granting of a subsidy of around 450 euros for a period of 18 months, according to a press release from the Ministry of Labor and Social Solidarity.

“MMSS aims for Romania to achieve by 2027 an employment rate of persons with disabilities of at least 55% of their total number, and at least 4% of the staff of companies and public institutions with more than 50 employees to be disabled people. One of the measures to stimulate employers for the permanent employment of persons with disabilities and graduates from among persons with disabilities is the granting of a subsidy of approximately 450 euros for a period of 18 months”, according to a press release of the MMSS, published on Facebook.

The competent minister, Simona Bucura Oprescua, participated on Wednesday, in Budapest, in the high-level conference dedicated to people with disabilities with the theme “You are Value!”. The event was organized in the context of the Hungarian Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

During the Conference, the ministerial panel coordinated by Attila Fulop – Minister of State for Care within the Hungarian Ministry of Internal Affairs took place, on which occasion Simona Bucura-Oprescu brought to attention Romania’s projects for the integration of people with disabilities on the labor market.

“Yes, ‘You are value!’ is the right message! Each of us has something to say, something to add to the life of our community. Together we can transform disability into the ability to succeed. Through genuine concern for those in need and through their real integration in society and on the labor market, we lay the foundations for inclusion and dignity for people with disabilities.

The Ministry of Labor and Social Solidarity promotes and supports the integration of people with disabilities on the labor market. Through social economy programs, employment initiatives and dedicated projects, we support both employees with disabilities and their employers. People with disabilities are an essential part of our society, and their skills and qualities are a valuable resource for the labor market, even if barriers still persist.

We want to build a society where every person has the chance to contribute, succeed and be appreciated”, said Simona Bucura-Oprescu, transmits Antena3 CNN.
