The State Employment Agency (NVA) shall offer employers who employ persons with disabilities to adapt the service-place of employment to employed persons with disabilities at risk of unemployment. It is a preventive measure to reduce the risk of unemployment in order to promote the workability of disabled workers and the preservation of jobs.

The SEA shall provide an ergotherapist service to the employer and shall pay a one-off grant of up to EUR 1000, for the purchase, supply and installation of equipment, equipment and technical aids necessary for the adaptation of the workplace of an employee with disabilities. The grant to the SEA shall be granted if the occupational therapist has indicated in the opinion that the workplace needs adjustments.

Merchants and commercial companies (partnerships and capital companies) are invited to apply for the support of the SEA.
