unemployment you must be available for work with a daily commuting of 3 hours plus. You must be able to take on facilitated work full time on a day’s notice from the first day of your unemployment. You must be prepared to take on a job at a lower organisational level or at a lower educational level than what you have had earlier. You are to actively apply for at least two full-time jobs from the first day of your unemployment. The jobs are to be in Denmark - and one of them is to advertised. Naturally, you are to seek employment within your subject area where the chance of finding a job that matches your profile is biggest. However, if no vacancy exists within the area you want mostly, you are obliged to expand your work search area to other jobs you can manage after for inst. a little training. You shall search in the usual way for the profession in question. There should never be a week in which you don’t apply for a job, unless you have a legal hindrance such as vacation, work or sickness. There must be no hindrances for your taking on work. If for example you are sick during a period and unable to work, you cannot get unemployment benefits. In stead you have to apply for sickness benefits from your municipality. For that reason it is important that you contact the Job Center on the first day of sickness. Remember, if you have an interview with CA/Job centre/ other parties, you must inform of your sickness prior to the meeting. Remember to notify your sickness to the Job Center on the first day of sickness. Availability meeting/information meeting When you are unemployed and receive unemployment benefits you will have a mandatory meeting with the unemployment insurance fund every 3 months. At the meeting we are to evaluate whether you are available to the labour market. Our starting point will be the Job plan you took part in making at the information meeting. At the interview we will – if need be – adjust your Job plan. Your Job plan is binding and describes how you will go about your job search the following 3 months. Prior to the meeting you are to fill in your job applications form (please keep it updated) you have submitted at www. ca.dk/selvbetjening/ (log on Online A-kasse and choose Jobsøgning). If you need help with your applications, you can sign up for job search courses at CA covering your needs. You must also upload a job search list so that we can go over your job search with you at the meeting. You will receive further information prior to the meeting. If you are not available– Consequences If we during an availability talk or by other means find that you are not available to the labour market or that you have not done enough to find full-time work, you cannot receive unemployment benefits. In that case you can only get unemployment benefits again once you have worked more than 300 hours within 10 weeks. Availability otherwise It is our duty to perform an evaluation of availability if you act in a way so that doubts as to your availability arise. That is the case for example if you fail to turn up for a meeting with the Job centre, other parties or CA a-kasse have seasonal employment are registered as being sick for a rather longer time tender your resignation from a full-time job in order to work on reduced working hours in stead do not draw up your CV on www.jobnet.dk act in such a way that doubts as to your availability arise Thus the meeting is about two things. How you have been looking for work in the period up to the meeting, and what you can do to get a job. 4
Activation Under 30 years When you have been unemployed for 13 weeks altogether, it is your right and duty to be activated. When you have ended an activation, you shall start the next activation at the latest 6 months later. Over 30 years and under 60 years When you have been unemployed for 39 weeks altogether, it is your right and duty to be activated. Over 60 years When you have been unemployed for 26 weeks altogether, it is your right and duty to be activated. Activation can be employment with salary subsidy at a private or public enterprise, work practice for 4 weeks or training education. Job plan with the Job centre The agreements you make with the Job centre or other parties on activation will be registered in a Job plan. Consequently, you are to make both a Job plan with the unemployment insurance fund for job search and a Job plan with the Job centre for activation. The agreements in the Job plan with the Job centre are binding agreements and cannot be broken without agreement with Job centre or other parties. If you break the agreement, it may have consequences for your unemployment benefits. It’s a good idea that you prepare yourself before you are to talk about activation with the Job centre or other parties. For example, if you lack specific competences in order to get a job and for that reason want training, or if you lack work experience and thus want employment with salary subsidy. If you stay away from a meeting Everytime you stay away from or cancel a meeting that the unemployment insurance fund, the Job centre or other parties has called in for, you lose as a minimum the unemployment benefits for that particular day and until you have again contacted the meeting organizer. That applies regardless of the kind of meeting or activity you cancel or fail to turn up for. If you cancel before the interview, you lose as a miminum only unemployment benefits for the particular day of the meeting. It has, however, no consequences for you, if you cancel because you have a job interview at the same time, if you are working on the day, if you are meeting with other parties/Job centre or if you notify of sickness prior to the meeting. Vacation is also a valid reason for absence if you have informed the Job centre and the unemployment insurance fund about the vacation prior to your being called in for the meeting. Read more under the paragraph on ‘Vacation’. If you have signed a contract of employment and are to commence work later than the day of the meeting , attendance is mandatory, provided you want unemployment benefits up until that day when you commence work. 3 weeks’ quarantine for rejections and resignations You get 3 weeks’ effective quarantine for self-inflicted unemployment if mandatory without a valid reason tender your resignation reject a job facilitated to you reject or discontinue an offer of activation or retraining from the Job centre/other parties reject participation in preparing or revising a Job plan for activation accept a too short notice. You ought always contact us and learn about the consequences before you reject or discontinue a work or an offer. Repeat consequences and self-inflicted unemployment If within a 12 months’ period you are quarantined twice for self-inflicted unemployment – regardless of the reason – you lose your right to unemployment benefits until you have had 5
