The wage subsidy would only close the gap between the wage and 16. If you made 16, there would be no subsidy.

Earn 16 get no subsidy

Earn 15 get 1 subsidy

Earn 12 get 4 subsidy

What’s the difference to the worker?

Fork 4/3rds harder to earn 16 not 12, see no gain. Equivelent of 100% marginal tax.
