Over here when they introduced the 'workfare' many companies exploited the scheme to the point where some actually stopped hiring paid workers, while other companies taking part started to "let go" paid workers and replaced them with free labour courtest of the government.

That sounds about right.

There are so many things you would need to do to make this work that I feel it'd cost more than it would save.

You would need to line up the jobs for the people to work.

You would need to pay them at least minimum wage by law.

You would need to be very careful not to displace actual employees. The example above is one such scenario where employers just replace employees, but it can go the other way as well. If the jobs you can get on welfare are better than your current job (say you're a burger flipper), why wouldn't you quit and do that instead?

So many hurdles to overcome, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
