SALGA raised the following concerns about the nature of the EPWP wage incentives, the eligibility conditions and employment creation targets: . The proposed phasing in of EPWP targets and wage incentives included a minimum threshold target (based on 2008/09 achievements) which municipalities needed to first meet, before they could be eligible to receive the incentive. . These targets were retrospectively applied to all districts and municipalities resulting in many being disqualified for eligibility for the incentive.
