JobsNL Wage Subsidy

The JobsNL Wage Subsidy program helps connect employers with employees by providing funding to create long-term or seasonal/short-term jobs. It offsets salary costs to help create new positions, especially for individuals who lack work experience and skills. 

How does it work? There are two options:

JobsNL-42: Provides a wage subsidy for 28 weeks within a 42-week employment period. 

• First 14 weeks: 60% subsidy, up to $12/hour. 
• Second 14 weeks: No subsidy. 
• Third 14 weeks: 80% subsidy, up to $12/hour. 

JobsNL-28: Provides a wage subsidy for 10-28 weeks for seasonal/short-term employment.

• 60% subsidy, up to $12/hour.
