Mon, 11/24/2008 - 10:07 | by admin
The purpose of childcare is to assist trainees with the cost of providing supervised care for dependents while on a training course or starting a job. This allowance may be paid when:
- course or job placement is sponsored by SLAAMB
- there is a demonstrated need - example
- up to a maximum of three (3) months for starting a new job
- ½ time while on a course or similar program - negotiable
- dependent(s) up to the age of 12 or in need of special care
- maximum child care is $3/hr to a maximum of $20/day per child - maximum 5 days/week
- maximum of 4 dependents starting with the youngest one
- any family having a combined income of $725/week or more will not be eligible
Note: This will allow each First Nation/Native community to set up a private or community supervised childcare facility.
