About 4000 unemployed people are registered with the NKR Ministry of
Social Security. To provide them with jobs, the government worked
out and adopted the program on the order, size and conditions
of compensation for salary to assist placement of uncompetitive
labor. It means that if the employer admits someone who is registered
with the Ministry of Social Security, the ministry pays part of the
salary. The compensation is equal to 50 percent of the salary but
not more than the minimum salary set down in Article 1 of the NKR
law on minimum salary. Ara Bakhtamian, the head of the Department
of Work and Employment, said if the salary is 30 thousand drams,
the ministry compensates for half, i.e. 15 thousand drams. If the
salary is 50 thousand, 20 thousand is to be paid by the ministry. This
year 7 million 200 thousand drams was allocated to provide 30 people
with jobs. The program will include disabled persons, former inmates
of prisons and hospitals, parentless children of employment age,
the citizens who have served in the army and registered with the
Ministry of Social Security, unemployed persons who have at least
30 years of service, as well as persons who have been unemployed for
the past three years and refugees. According to Ara Bakhtamian, the
ministry will pay compensation for two or three years. The success
of the program depends on not only the relevant government agencies
but also the employers, he said. In fact, their collaboration will
guarantee the success of the program.
