Announced, ministerial decision not yet issued: remote-work programme for unemployed people in mountain areas
The Labour Minister announced a programme for businesses that hire people living in mountain and remote areas to work remotely, with a subsidy of "90% of the wage and social-security contributions for 12 months". DYPA has asked the ministry to issue a joint ministerial decision for unemployed people "aged 18 and over" living in mountain municipalities; the decision has not been issued and there is no call yet.
Do not act before the official announcement. We never ask for data or payment.
What it means for you
It has not been announced which municipalities count as mountain municipalities, how many jobs will be subsidised, when the programme starts or how to take part. If you are unemployed and live in a mountain municipality, the programme page will be updated when the joint ministerial decision or the DYPA call is issued.
