The employment of persons with disabilities (persons with physical, intellectual and/or mental disabilities) in many cases requires employers to take special steps, such as workplace facility and equipment modifications, workplace environment changes, and adoption of special personnel management programs. Since these measures involve a financial outlay, an economic imbalance arises between employers who fulfill their social responsibility to employ disabled workers and those who do not. The Levy and Grant System for Employing Persons with Disabilities is based on the principle of collective social responsibility, which claims that the responsibility for employing persons with disabilities must be borne equally by all the employers. Based on the Law for Employment Promotion of Persons with Disabilities, this system has been set up to balance the financial burdens that accompany employment of persons with disabilities among the employers, as well as to provide support and advice to employers in order to promote and secure employment of persons with disabilities.
