HANDICAPPED PERSONS ASSISTANCE ACT 1974 No. 134 of 1974 - SECT 28

28. (1) Where-

   (a)  a disabled person who has completed a continuous period of not less
        than 6 months' sheltered employment provided by an
        eligible organization completes, after the commencement of this Part,
        a further continuous period of 12 months' normal employment;

   (b)  the 2 periods are continuous with one another or are separated by an
        interval that is so short that, in the opinion of the Minister, it is
        not significant for the purposes of this section; and

   (c)  the Minister is satisfied that the training given to the disabled
        person during the period of sheltered employment contributed
        significantly to the ability of that person to engage in the
        normal employment, the Minister may, in his discretion, pay to the
        organization a training fee of $500.

(2) The Minister may, by reason of special circumstances, direct that 2 or
more periods of normal employment of a person and the intervals that separate
them shall, together, be treated, for the purposes of paragraph (1) (a), as
one continuous period of normal employment.
