Regulations for flexjobs.
| Target group | Individuals with permanent and major reductions in their work ability who cannot obtain or retain competitive employment on ‘normal’ conditions in the labor market. |
| Criteria for access | When all other relevant active employment measures have been exhausted. Municipal jobcenters are responsible for assessing eligibility and administering the flexjob program. |
| Determination of wages | The employer only pays for ‘effective’ work hours. The work efficiency of the individual in the job is evaluated by comparing to the work efficiency of a (fictive) ‘normal’ worker in an identical job. |
| Income | The flexjob employee is paid for ‘effective’ work hours by the employer and receives a wage subsidy from the municipality for the remaining work hours. The subsidy is reduced with increasing wages. |
| Duration | Temporary (reassessment of eligibility every fifth year). |
