Stand-down to stay
PA Wellington The Government will continue with the 26-week stand-down period for Project Employment Programme workers, said the Minister of Labour, Mr Bolger, yesterday. A Labour Department review clearly showed that the stand-down policy was achieving its object, Mr Bolger said.
“The number of people registered for more than 26 weeks is decreasing and, because the department is able to devote more resources to private-sector placements, over-all placement rates are increasing,” he said. Further details about the administration of P.E.P. schemes would be announced soon.
