| Summary: | The complainant, an unemployed Swiss citizen, applied for unemployment benefits from June 21, 2019.
The Unemployment Insurance (ALV) rejected the application, as the complainant was only registered with the Regional Employment Service (RAV) on 14 June 2019.
The complainant filed a complaint with the Federal Insurance Court (ECG).
The ECG proved the complainant right and awarded him unemployment benefits from 21 June 2019.
The EVG found that the ALV guidelines, which require registration with the RAV at the latest on the day of leaving the employment relationship, were too strict.
Explanation:
The judgment of the ECG is an important precedent, as it changes the ALV guidelines in favor of the unemployed.
In the future, unemployed people will only have to register with the RAV within seven days of leaving the employment relationship in order to receive unemployment benefits.
Extra information:
The EVG is the highest Swiss authority for social security law.
The verdict is final. |
