16 Sep NetworkIN advocate helps small businesses get involved with the Kickstart Scheme
If businesses would be interested in getting involved with the Kickstart Scheme but are only able to take on a small number of job placements, Mehgan Howard and the team at Aecus Recruitment would be able to assist and act as a representative organisation.
The Team Stafford Brunch advocate answers some common questions about the Kickstart Scheme.
How can the Kickstart Scheme benefit me?
The cost of funding covers the full National Minimum Wage for 25 hours per week. Employers are also granted £1,500 for initial set up costs, support and training to be provided. This claim can be reimbursed to employers within 30 days.
Applications sent directly to the scheme have to be for a minimum of 30 job placements.
Alternately, if you want to get involved but cannot offer this many placements, you can partner with a representative organisation for a fewer number of placements, which can act as an intermediary on your behalf.
When will I receive funding from the scheme?
Funding for the scheme is expected to be paid in arrears to the business. It is currently yet to be confirmed as to the exact dates of payment businesses will receive the grants.
Guidance surrounding this information is expected to be updated on 23rd September.
Nonetheless, it is pivotal to ensure you are in a position to manage your cash flow and be able to pay the necessary costs prior to receiving the grant.
