Participants in this scheme are expected however to continue to make efforts to find full-time work. Legislation The Part-Time Job Incentive Scheme is an administrative scheme and is not covered by legislation. It was set up by Government decision in December 1986. Administration The Part-Time Job Incentive Scheme is administered by the Department's Intreo Centres/Social Welfare Local Offices. Qualifying Conditions Summary: To qualify for the Part-Time Job Incentive Scheme a person must be in receipt of Long Term Jobseeker's Allowance. Qualifying Conditions in Detail: The person must - have been fully unemployed and in receipt of Jobseeker's Allowance for 390 days prior to commencing on the Part-Time Job Incentive scheme, - have been in receipt of a higher jobseeker's payment than the appropriate Part-Time Job Incentive supplement payable, - undertake to remain on the scheme for at least two months. - not be in receipt of another Social Welfare payment, other than one which is not included in section 247 of the Social Welfare (Consolidation) Act, 2005 (as amended), and - not be in receipt of any other allowance or an allowance in respect of a course of education, training and development. The job must - be insurable under the Social Welfare Acts at class A or J rate of contribution, and - involve working for less than 24 hours per week. A person may have one or more jobs, provided the jobs meet the stated criteria and the total number of hours weekly is less than 24. Smallholders or self-employed persons are not permitted to take part in the scheme. Duration of PTJI Initially the PTJI is awarded for one year. This may be extended for a further period. The person must continue to look for full-time work while on the scheme. Termination of PTJI Entitlement to PTJI is terminated if the person is employed for 24 hours or more per week or if the employment is terminated. TEMPORARY BREAKS IN PTJI Where a person who has been in receipt of PTJI, claims Illness Benefit, s/he may return directly to the Part-Time Job Incentive scheme when the period on Illness Benefit ceases, provided all other conditions are satisfied. School Bus Drivers/Wardens who are participating in the PTJI scheme may claim a jobseeker's payment for the duration of school holiday periods and return to the Part-Time Job Incentive scheme when they resume work, provided all other conditions are satisfied. A person who secures full time employment may not return to the PTJI scheme irrespective of the duration of the full-time employment. Rates of Payment Instead of their usual Jobseeker's Allowance payment, persons are entitled to a specified allowance per week, with a higher rate paid to those with an qualified adult. This payment is not affected by the earnings received from the part-time job. A person without a qualified adult is entitled to the single rate allowance only, regardless of the number of qualified child/ren s/he may have. Rates of payments are detailed in the SW 19 Information Leaflet. Extra Benefits No Child Dependent Increase or Fuel Allowance is payable with the Part-Time Job Incentive Scheme. PART 2: CLAIMS, INVESTIGATION AND DECISION PROCEDURES: Claims Where a person satisfies the qualifying conditions for participation in the scheme, s/he should contact the Intreo Centre, Social Welfare Local/Branch Office and complete an application form. Investigation of Claims The relevant Jobseeker's Allowance claim is examined in conjunction with the details given on the application form to determine if the person is eligible for participation in the scheme. Where the conditions are satisfied, the claim is awarded. The person is then given a form PTJI 2 for completion by both themselves and their employer at the end of each four week period. Decisions Decisions regarding a persons entitlement to the Part-Time Job Incentive Scheme are decided by a Deciding Officer in the Intreo Centre/Social Welfare Local Office. Appeals As the Part-Time Job Incentive scheme is a non-statutory scheme, there is no right of appeal to the Social Welfare Appeals Office. Any person who is dissatisfied with a decision may appeal to a higher officer at the Intreo Centre/Social Welfare Local Office. PART 3: PROCEDURES, FOLLOWING AWARD: Payment A person is required to sign a declaration form PTJI 2 every 4 weeks to state that s/he works less than 24 hours each week and return it to the Intreo Centre/Social Welfare Local Office. Payment is made weekly by EFT. Maintenance Intreo Centre/Local Office staff must ensure that the form PTJI 2 is received from the person every four weeks while participating in the scheme. Ongoing Confirmation Of Employment Claimants are required to confirm their continued participation in the scheme. The form PTJI 2 is also completed by the employer at the end of each four week period. The form must be returned to the Intreo Centre/Social Welfare Local Office as evidence that the person is engaging in insurable employment for less than 24 hours a week. Where there is any delay in returning this form, payment is suspended until such time as the completed form is received. Credits Where a person has established an entitlement to credited contributions while in receipt of Jobseeker's Allowance, credits may be awarded for the duration of participation in the Part-Time Job Incentive Scheme. Credits will only be awarded for each week in respect of which a class 'J' contribution is paid.

Réamhrá Tugann an Scéim Dhreasachta Poist Pháirtaimseartha (SDPP) deis do dhaoine áirithe atá ag fáil Liúntas Cuardaitheora Poist (LCP) glacadh le hobair lánaimseartha agus liúntas speisialta seachtainiúil a fháil in áit na híocaíochta cuardaitheora poist. Tá sí beartaithe mar chloch chora i dtreo na hoibre lánaimseartha. Ní mór duit bheith ar fáil d’obair lánaimseartha agus bheith ag lorg obair lánaimseartha fad is atá tú páirteach sa Scéim Dhreasachta Poist Pháirtaimseartha. Rialacha Is féidir leat páirt a ghlacadh sa Scéim DPP má dhéanann tú obair pháirtaimseartha ar feadh níos lú ná 24 uair in aghaidh na seachtaine agus má bhí tú i gceachtar den dá chás seo a leanas díreach roimhe sin: - Ag fáil Liúntas Cuardaitheora Poist (LCP) ar bhonn fadtéarmach ar feadh 390 lá (15 mhí) ar a laghad. Cuirtear laethanta dífhostaíochta agus tú ag fáil Liúntas Cuardaitheora Poist (LCP) san áireamh sna 390 lá má bhí tú ag fáil LCP díreach sula bhfuair tú Sochar Cuardaitheora Poist. - Ag fáil íocaíocht sheachtainiúil Chuardaitheora Poist ar luach €125.40 ar a laghad má tá tú singil nó ar luach €204.50 ar a laghad má tá tú ag fáil méadú do dhuine fásta cáilithe. Is gá duit gealladh freisin go bhfanfaidh tú sa scéim ar feadh 2 mhí. Is féidir leat níos mó ná post páirtaimseartha amháin a dhéanamh ach ní féidir leat obair a dhéanamh ar feadh níos mó ná 24 uair san iomlán. Ní mór gur dóchúil go mairfidh an post páirtaimseartha a fhaigheann tú ar feadh 2 mhí ar a laghad agus go bhfuil sé inárachais in Aicme ÁSPC A nó J. Má fhaigheann tú obair lánaimseartha, níl cead agat filleadh ar an Scéim DPP ag deireadh d’oibre lánaimseartha, beag beann ar a ghiorra a bhí d'obair lánaimseartha. Níl daoine féinfhostaithe cáilithe le haghaidh na scéime seo. Ré na híocaíochta I dtosach, is ceadmhach fanacht sa Scéim DPP ar feadh bliain amháin. D'fhéadfaí é sin a shíneadh ar feadh tréimhse níos faide. Agus tú páirteach sa scéim, ba cheart duit leanúint le hobair lánaimseartha a lorg. Rataí In ionad do ghnáthíocaíochta fostaíochta, gheobhaidh tú an liúntas seachtainiúil seo a leanas: - €125.40 in aghaidh na seachtaine má tá tú singil - €204.50 in aghaidh na seachtaine má fhaigheann tú méadú do dhuine fásta cáilithe Níl aon mhéaduithe ar na rátaí sin do leanaí cáilithe. Íoctar an liúntas beag beann ar an airgead a thuilleann tú i do phost. Ach beidh do phá incháinithe mar is gnách. Conas iarratas a dhéanamh Nuair a bheidh an post páirtaimseartha faighte agat, ba cheart duit teagmháil a dhéanamh le d'oifig áitiúil leasa shóisialaigh nó le hionad áitiúil Intreo chun iarratas a dhéanamh ar an scéim DPP. Iarrfar ort foirm iarratais PTA 1 a chomhlánú agus sonraí a thabhairt faoi d'fhostaíocht pháirtaimseartha. Beidh ar d’fhostóir foirm PTJI2 a chomhlánú ag deireadh gach tréimhse 4 seachtaine chun a dheimhniú gur oibrigh tú agus go bhfuil tú ag gabháil d'fhostaíocht inárachais. Ní mór duit dearbhú a shíniú (ag úsáid an fhoirm chéanna) a dheimhníonn níos lú ná 24 uair oibrithe gach seachtain agat. Caithfidh tú an fhoirm seo cur ar ais chuig d’oifig áitiúil leasa shóisialaigh nó chuig ionad áitiúil Intreo. Má tá aon mhoill chun an fhoirm a chur ar ais, cuirfear an íocaíocht ar fionraí go dtí go bhfaigheann an fhoirm. Déanann an íocaíocht tríd EFT. Má chríochnaíonn do phost nó má chríochnaíonn tú an scéim DPP, beidh tú cáilithe arís le haghaidh Liúntas Cuardaitheora Poist fadtéarmach, fad is nach bhfuil aon athrú ar do chúinsí (seachas an post páirtaimseartha a chríochnú). Mar rogha eile, beidh tú cáilithe le haghaidh Sochar Cuardaitheora Poist má tá go leor ranníocaíochtaí ÁSPC agat. Sochair thánaisteacha Ní íoctar aon sochair thánaisteacha fad is atá tú páirteach sa scéim Dhreasachta Poist Pháirtaimseartha. Is féidir leat do chárta leighis a choinneáil ar feadh thréimhse na scéime DPP, beag beann ar do thuilleamh ar feadh tréimhse nach mó ná 3 bliana. Leanfaidh tú le bheith cáilithe le haghaidh Forlíonadh Cíosa, ach déanfar do thuilleamh a mheasúnú in aghaidh d’fhorlíonta. Achomhairc Is scéim neamhreachtúil í an scéim Dhreasachta Poist Pháirtaimseartha agus ní féidir leat achomharc a dhéanamh chuig an Oifig Achomharc Leasa Shóisialaigh in aghaidh cinnidh. Mura bhfuil tú sásta le cinneadh maidir leis an scéim, is féidir leat achomharc a dhéanamh chuig an Oifigeach atá i gceannas ar an Scéim Dhreasachta Poist Pháirtaimseartha ag d’oifig áitiúil leasa shóisialaigh.
