Are you out of work and don’t know what to do next? When do you have to register with the Job Centre and how does it work? Will you get support at all, and how long can you get it? All these questions are answered in this article.
Many people believe that registering with the Job Centre is an obligation. However, this is not the case. Whether you want to register with the Job Centre is entirely up to you. However, if you want to receive unemployment benefits, then you will actually have to register with the Job Centre. So in what cases is it possible to register with the Job Centre?
If you are due to be made redundant on a certain date and are interested in receiving unemployment benefits, it is best to register within three working days of leaving your job. In this case, your unemployment benefit will start the day after you leave your job. However, whether you get unemployment benefits depends on whether you have paid pension contributions for at least 12 months in the past two years. The amount is then based on your average net earnings in your last job. For the first two months you will receive a benefit equivalent to 65% of this earnings, 50% for the next two months and 45% for the rest of the time.

We’ll make sure you get everything you’re entitled to in the event of termination. We’ll help you defend yourself against your employer. We will offer a solution in as little as two days, nationwide.
You can register with the Job Centre as soon as you notify the Trade Licensing Office that you have stopped or ceased your trade. If you have been paying pension insurance under the same conditions as above, you are entitled to unemployment benefit. The amount of the benefit is determined on the basis of the last assessment base calculated on a calendar month.
If you do not have an appointment to work after graduation, this does not mean that you have to register with the Job Centre. You should only register if you want the Job Centre to help you find a job or if you are unable to pay the insurance yourself. You will also only get support if you have paid pension contributions for at least 12 months in the last two years. It doesn’t matter whether you get it from your main job, from a contract job or from your business.
Again, it’s best to apply within 3 days of graduation (or after you lose your student status) to ensure a smooth transition and avoid having to pay contributions. If you successfully complete your secondary education, your student status ends on the last day of the summer holidays – 31 August. However, if you are unsuccessful, you lose your student status on the day you leave school.
If you lose your job while you are on sick leave, this does not mean that you will lose your sickness benefits. Nor does it mean that you have to pay social security and health insurance during the rest of your sick leave. However, you can only register with the Jobcentre once your sick leave ends. Again, the conditions for unemployment benefit are the same as those mentioned above.

If you don’t have a job to return to when you finish parental leave or care for a loved one, you should register with the Job Centre. Again, the 3 working day rule applies. You are eligible if you have spent 12 months caring for a minor child or a close relative in the last two years, or if you have worked and paid pension contributions for 12 months during that time (the two periods can be added together). Again, the amount of the benefit is calculated from your net pay in your last job.
You can register with the Job Centre without claiming benefits and without being unemployed. However, in this case you will not be registered as a jobseeker but as a jobseeker. Jobseekers in this case are people who have a job but want to change it or feel threatened by losing it. As a jobseeker, the Job Centre will then find you suitable employment. You are also entitled to other services provided by the Job Centre, such as paid retraining courses.
Tip: Planning to quit your job? We will review and possibly edit and complete the notice you have written or prepare a flawless, tailor-made notice. We will advise you on how to proceed if, for example, your employer does not want to accept your resignation. If the situation should escalate in any way, we will advise on what evidence to provide.
You can register with the Job Centre in person at your place of residence. However, you can now register with the Job Centre remotely and online, using a data box or email with an electronic signature. Alternatively, you can send your application by post or hand it in in person at any Job Centre.
By when do I need to register with the Job Centre? Registration must always be completed within three days after the end of employment, studies, etc. This is the only way to ensure a smooth follow-up.
If you want to be registered as a jobseeker or jobseeker, you will need to bring the following documents to the Job Centre:
If you are also applying for unemployment benefits, you will need to provide additional documents:
