The Job Trial service allows employers to hire a CCA client for 2-4 weeks, while receiving financial incentives to reduce the costs of hiring and training a new employee.
A Job Trial can be used:
- For an employer to assess the fit of a candidate
- For a client to assess the fit of an employer
- For CCA to conduct a Skills Assessment to assist the client in developing an effective action plan
Financial incentives are provided to reduce payroll costs, with the hopes of ultimately reducing the stress between the employer and the employee at the beginning of the employment relationship. The amount of financial incentives the employer is eligible for is negotiated prior to the start date of the Job Trial. The employer may be reimbursed for 50 to 100% of the employee’s wages, whereby this percentage is based on the rate of pay for the job position.
During the Job Trial, the employer is expected to provide training and supervision to the employee as a way to assess their skill set relevant to the job position. The client is expected to participate fully in the Job Trial and to adhere to the employer’s procedures, standards and expectations. The employment terms will be dependent on the reasons for why the Job Trial is being used, but it is our hopes that the Job Trial will lead to full-time, long term employment for the CCA client. The Job Developer will monitor the Job Trial and provide support to both the employer and the client by facilitating any communication concerns, skill deficiencies and general employment relationship terms.
