The government will start allowing Hungarians who lose their jobs during the crisis to “take with them” any assistance to an employer that creates a new job, social policy minister Peter Kiss said on Tuesday.
Any assistance still due to the out-of-work person will be paid to their new employer from the Labour Force Fund on a monthly basis as a kind of incentive, Kiss said.
The conditions of the new kind of subsidy will be announced on January 4, he added.
