Inclusive masks funded to support employment for persons with disabilities

In order to limit the impact of the health crisis on the recruitment and working conditions of disabled people, the two organizations are proposing schemes valid for a three-month period, renewable according to the evolution of the health situation.

In the private sector

The Agency intervenes in several ways:

• exceptional assistance for the additional costs of specific COVID-19 risk prevention equipment, including all specific protective equipment for the benefit of a disabled person and the collective in which he works;
• financing the additional cost between the price of a conventional mask and the price of an inclusive mask, on the basis of the actual cost borne by the company (bearing in mind that the cost of the approved inclusive masks does not exceed €15);
• the eligibility of disabled employees and their working groups. For example, if a deaf or hard of hearing person works in a department with 10 employees, the Agefiph will take care of the 10 masks required for all persons in the department;

In the public sector

FIPHFP provides support in a number of ways:

• aid under

  support for the working environment

  ;
• funding of up to 80% the cost of the inclusive mask, up to €12 maximum support per mask. Examples:
  
  • for an inclusive mask at the price of €15 TTC, the financing is 80% of the cost or €12, shall be borne by the employer €3. ;
  • for an inclusive mask at €10.90 TTC, the financing is €8.72 (10.9x 80%) and shall be borne by the employer: €2.18 ;
• the eligibility of the disabled staff member and his/her working group (on the basis of a detailed note from the employer justifying the quantity requested to be provided);
