1. You can be listed in the register of job seekers, if you are:

• employed,
• self-employed,
• a homemaker,

2. Do you expect the termination of an employment contract for business reasons or reasons of inability?

Then you should register with the Employment Service not later than in three working days after the termination notice has been served. Your name will be entered in the register of job seekers.

Please note: If you fail to register with the Employment Service as a job seeker within three working days, unemployment benefit for the first three months will be paid in an amount of 60% of the average monthly salary that you received before unemployment began.

You must also register with the Employment Service within 30 days of the termination of employment. Your name will be entered in the register of unemployed, as this provides a basis for exercising the right to unemployment benefit. Please submit the application for unemployment benefit when registering.

Notes about the time limits for registering with the Employment Service:

• 3 working days after receiving notice of termination (for the register of job seekers) and then
