Payment Model: principles
• Payment should be exclusively or largely for delivering results and should be made after the results have been delivered
• The Government will seek to avoid paying for customers who would have moved off benefits without help
• The price paid for employment outcomes should be set to make it worthwhile for delivery partners to help each group of customers
• The price paid for job outcomes should not exceed the benefit savings that have been generated.

Performance Management
Adam Sharples
20 Department for Work and Pensions
What are we trying to achieve?
• Increase average time in employment for Work Programme customer groups (longer sustained jobs); and
• Increase off flow rates for Work Programme customer groups (more people into work);
• Decrease average time on benefit for Work Programme customer groups (people into work sooner);
• Narrow the gap between off flow/time in employment rates for disadvantaged groups and everyone else (less parking of harder to help).
21 Department for Work and Pensions
Incentive payments
• Incentive payments will be paid to Providers who have high performance for the JSA 18 to 24 and 25+ client groups from year 4.
• Job outcome payments will be reduced by 10 per cent of the year 1 and 2 level each year from year 3 to fund the incentive payments

Differential Pricing
The funding model builds in differential pricing in 4 ways, with each customer groups having different:
• Referral points
• Payment amounts
• Length of job outcome payment
• Length of sustainment payment period
24 Department for Work and Pensions
Ensuring ongoing competition
• We will shift market share (customer referrals) from poorer performing providers to the better performing provider in any given area.
• We will consider performance on an individual customer group basis• The first trigger point will be at month 18.
