Jobsplus scheme question

    Hi,
    I've just found out I'm eligible for the jobsplus scheme which allows a grant of €10000 or €7500 to an employer to offset wage costs. I know my employer would be paid in installments each month.

    What I want to know is if I take a short term contract, will whatever that is left of the grant be available to my next employer and so on, until the amount is gone?

    I want to know this to see if it's best to hold out for a long term contract as I know (hope) I won't be eligible for Jobsplus again.

    Thanks,
    James.

    I had a look through, couldn't find a specific answer to my question.
    I'm afraid to take a short term job (>3months) in case it uses up my jobsplus and I end up back in a DSP office afterwards.

    It seems like a great benefit to an employee so I think I should hold out for awhile.

    Hopefully their office is open tommorrow so I can give them a call.
