Employers pay wages to the apprentices, however, wages are subsidised through a grant for companies (bonus stage, but data are not available). There is also a mechanism for a variable fiscal deduction up to 120% of wages (tax reduction) which depends on the overall financial results of each individual company and makes the overall estimation of the actual share of co-financing difficult.
Finally, there is a grant for apprentices (Starting bonus, EUR 500 for the 1st and 2nd year, EUR 750 for the 3rd year).
Social insurance costs for apprentices are subsidised by the state (data not available).
