The sums of state participation in modification funding
The sums of the state participation depend on the type of the request and the overall
number of employees in the workplace, as specified in the table on page 20. It is necessary
to make it clear than except for primary training for the employer, the employer is required
to participate in the funding of the modification according to the business size and the
type of the request.
The employer can submit the request for participation in larger funding (up to 60,000 NIS),
if he needs to implement land modifications for the employer with mobility disablement at
a rate of 75% or more, or due to computer equipment purchase for a blind employee who
has a ‘certificate of blindness’.
The state does not participate in funding of costs below 1000 NIS (except for the primary
training for the employee).
The state participation in funding is provided as a non-recourse loan upon the modification
implementation, and it becomes a grant a year later if the employer complies with the
conditions set by the regulations.
Participation sums set in the regulations, according to the employer’s business size:
State participation per employee and the employer’s part in the
modification cost, according to the number of employees in the business
