If you, for example, are employed part-time with a month’s notice of resignation, you must have a discharge certificate from your employer in order to receive supplementary benefits. The discharge certificate means that your employer gives up your notice period and lets you leave immediately if you find full-time employment. The certificate is necessary for you to be available for the labour market. Please be aware that your employer is not obligated to sign a discharge certificate. If you have any problems with the discharge certificate, it is important that you contact us.

If you have worked a total of 148 hours you will continue on unemployment insurance benefits without a waiting day. If you have not worked that much you will experience a waiting day. This means that you will be deducted one day of your unemployment insurance benefits. The four months’ period begins from the day you are approved for unemployment insurance benefits. The period can be extended if you have received sickness or maternity/paternity benefits.
