the job network agency will get paid for every person they place in a job there as well.... so it probably depends on how 'ethical' they are as to whether they would appreicate the news... personally I think you should tell them too - maybe they are not aware, I think (depending on how long the person stays in the job) they get another payment after a few months.... and if it's a long tem unemployed person the payments are larger AND the employer can get payments as well....

I really hope he finds something else - and good on him for the work he HAS done...
