The Part-Time Job Incentive (PTJI) Scheme offers a weekly allowance instead of Jobseeker's Allowance for those taking on part-time work.
A financial incentive program designed to help part-time workers in Ireland transition into full-time employment is offering an additional €250+ per month to eligible individuals. The Part-Time Job Incentive (PTJI) Scheme allows certain people receiving Jobseeker's Allowance (JA) to take up part-time work and receive a special weekly allowance instead of their jobseeker's payment. This program acts as a stepping stone for those seeking to move towards full-time work.
There are two primary conditions to be eligible for this allowance: first, participants must secure part-time work for less than 24 hours per week, and second, they must have previously been receiving Jobseeker's Allowance. Additionally, individuals must commit to staying on the scheme for two months and actively seek full-time employment while participating. The part-time job must be likely to last at least two months and be insurable at PRSI Class A or J. Self-employed individuals are not eligible for this scheme.
