JobPath is a payment by results model and, with the exception of the initial registration fee. the companies are paid only on the basis of performance. Job sustainment fees are paid when a client has achieved sustainable full time employment, which provides sufficient income to enable the client to sign off the Live Register. The overall cost of JobPath will be determined by the number of people who participate in the programme and the number who get sustainable jobs.
The total of fees claimed by the JobPath providers in 2017 was €54 million. The total paid to the end of June, 2018 is currently €45.6 million, which is reflective of the referral numbers to the JobPath service reaching their peak during 2017.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
