Varig lønnstilskudd

Varig lønnstilskudd is a permanent wage subsidy program designed to increase employment opportunities for job seekers with permanently and significantly reduced work capacity. The subsidy compensates employers for lower productivity due to the reduced work capacity of the employee. NAV provides this subsidy without time limitation to employers who hire or retain a person with permanently and significantly reduced work capacity. The subsidy covers up to 67 percent of wage and social costs, or up to 75 percent during the first year. The maximum refund is up to 5 times the basic amount in the National Insurance Scheme (G) per year, which is 650,800 kroner. This program is also available for individuals at risk of losing their job after being on sick leave for 12 months, or those receiving full or graded disability benefits who wish to work. NAV provides necessary follow-up support to both the employee and employer to support the employment relationship.
