The first group would get a supplement on their wage if they were employed. Firms would be legally obliged to take out private insurance to cover these supplements. In case of unemployment they would be entitled to a benefit which eventually would go down to the level of the social minimum but which would remain (until age 65) an insurance entitlement without means tests. The second group (with a capacity loss of less than 35%) would be entitled to support from their employer to stay in employment. In case of unemployment they would be treated as regular unemployed who eventually end on means-tested welfare.

Government considered this mollification of the Donner proposals as undue. It argued that the mandatory private insurance system for those in the 35-100 disability class would work adversely. At least two of the three parties involved in this game (employers and private insurers) were expected to prefer unemployment over claiming a wage supplement - damages which could be avoided by making the employee redundant. And compared to a partial disability benefit under the current system the unemployment option was in many cases an improvement, too.
