Enabling Employment Credit (EEC)
The Enabling Employment Credit (EEC) supports the employment of persons with disabilities by providing wage offsets to employers that hire local employees with disabilities aged 13 and above earning below $4,000 per month. The EEC provides up to 20% wage offset, capped at $400 per month per employee. Additionally, employers hiring persons with disabilities who have not been working for at least six months receive an enhanced additional 20% wage offset (also capped at $400 per month) for the first nine months of employment. This scheme encourages inclusive employment practices and supports workforce diversity.
