"Return and Earn" Program – Small Business Subsidies Available

As a reminder the Return and Earn incentive program benefits employers and their new employees. Qualified employers receive a wage subsidy for six months, while unemployed workers reentering the workforce and receiving job training are eligible for a $500 incentive in their first paycheck.

Employers can complete this form to express interest and receive application information as it becomes available.

Employers can receive the wage subsidy up to the cap of $10,000 per Return and Earn employee and are limited to a total Return and Earn subsidy across all employees of $40,000.
