Registration at the Employment Center (TsNZ) gives the right to help the state in finding a job and monetary compensation for a temporary lack of income. In 2019, unemployment benefits doubled, but the payout period was reduced.
Unemployed status and conditions for obtaining it
In 2019, an able-bodied Russian citizen over 16 years old can receive unemployment benefits. A citizen applying for material support should not:
- work officially (including temporary, part-time, etc. employment);
- to be a pensioner;
- study full-time;
- to be an individual entrepreneur;
- perform work under civil law contracts;
- be a peasant / farmer;
- be the founder / participant of a commercial organization;
- belong to the category of workers with private practice (lawyers, notaries, etc.) and self-employed.
Once registered, a citizen will receive unemployment benefits. Once every two weeks he will receive directions from the vacancy base of the employment center. An unemployed person must meet with employers. According to the results of the interview:
- If the candidate is suitable and the applicant is registered for work, then the transfer of money stops.
- If it does not meet the requirements, then the employer makes a note of this on the direction sheet. The grant continues.
What determines the size of payments
The amount of unemployment benefits is determined by law. Since 2019, the minimum and maximum payments have been increased. When calculating the amount, the following are taken into account:
- Salary at previous job. To calculate the amount of compensation, the average earnings for the last 3 months are taken. If the registered person has not previously been employed, then he shall be paid the established minimum.
- Duration of registration at the Employment Center. Over time, the amount of compensation decreases first to 75%, then to 60%. Officially unemployed can be up to 6 months.
- Reasons for dismissal. For example, for persons who are subject to reductions, there is a special procedure for registration.
Accrual Features
The unemployed person has the right to refuse the vacancy offered by the Employment Center if he is not satisfied with the payment, place of work, schedule, etc. He can do this no more than 2 times during registration. The third visit is mandatory: in the event of a citizen’s refusal, they will be deregistered and deprived of benefits.
Minimum and maximum amounts
The 2019 increase affected both the upper and lower payout levels. The minimum unemployment benefit in Russia amounted to 1,500 rubles. It is prescribed:
- Dismissed for misconduct.
- For applicants without seniority.
- Officially unemployed for over a year.
After an increase, from January 2019, the upper limit of unemployment accruals amounted to 8,000 rubles (except for persons of pre-retirement age). For example, an employee with a previous salary of 120,000 rubles, who left voluntarily, is entitled to a 75% rate in the first months of accounting. But 90 000 p. more than the established maximum, so only 8 000 r will be charged.
How much is paid at the labor exchange in 2019
