HK$5,000 for keeping a job three months

A scheme offering HK$5,000 to job seekers who can find a job and keep it for three months will start in the third quarter. Under a two-year pilot employment navigator programme, a job seeker will get HK$500 for landing permanent work, HK$1,500 for staying in the job a month and HK$3,000 for staying three months. To qualify, the job must pay less than HK$6,500 a month.
