Can You Stack/Combine These Grants?
- CCP + SFEC: Yes, SFEC can offset company’s out-of-pocket after CCP grant reimbursement
- CCP + JGI: No, you cannot claim salary support for the same staff from both CCP and JGI for the same period
- Job Redesign Grant: May be combined with CCP for transformation projects (subject to latest WSG/TADM rules)
- Other sectoral grants: Check compatibility—BizGrants Consulting provides mapping
Which Grant Should I Prioritise?
- If you are hiring for new/redesigned roles and want structured support: CCP is best
- If you qualify for JGI (for qualifying periods), claim it—but new signups have ended
- Use SFEC to defray your company’s out-of-pocket costs, including after CCP
