How to join the labor exchange and get the most out of unemployment

It’s a pretty bad situation when you’re left without a job. But those looking for a new job can speed up the process by heading to a job center. To do this, you will need to know several important points: what official papers need to be prepared, what benefits are due to the unemployed.

How to register at the labor exchange and receive unemployment benefits?

The most common reasons for contacting the employment service include:

• staff reduction at the enterprise;
• end of employment leave (in case of dismissal from work for any unforeseen reasons);
• employment after receiving secondary or higher education.

Required documents

First, a person looking for work needs to find out where the employment center is located nearby, and then contact its employees with a request to register him at the labor exchange.

Main! You should immediately understand that in order to register you need compelling reasons, among which you can highlight the status of unemployed, and as you know, this is not given to every person. You need to be in the circle of persons defined by law who have the opportunity to obtain such a status (Law of the Russian Federation dated April 19, 1991 N 1032-1 (as amended on December 11, 2018) “On Employment of the Population in the Russian Federation”, Article 3).

To have unemployed status and count on government payments, you must meet certain requirements. These include:

• be able to work, but not work anywhere and not receive wages;
• register with the labor exchange and actively search for work;
• be able to quickly take on new work responsibilities.

Excerpt from Article 3 of the Law of the Russian Federation N 1032-1

As soon as a person registers, he will be under state social protection. Some cash payments will also be guaranteed from the date of registration until the date of return to work.

To register with the Central Tax Service, you need to ensure that you have:

• passports;
• work book, if any;
• certificates of income for the last months (if you worked somewhere);
• existing diplomas from educational institutions;
• Sometimes a bank account statement is required to assign payments.

You need to collect a package of documents in order to apply to the central control center or central distribution center

Important ! CZN employees will look for a suitable job for the applicant, guided by the documents that he provided to them, as well as professional and personal skills and capabilities.

How to join the labor exchange in 2021 and what documents are needed

First of all, a citizen needs to find out where the Employment Center is located in his city, to which he will need to submit the documents established by regulations. Let us immediately note that only those people who do not have official income have the right to apply to this organization. Thus, by referring to Article 3 of the Federal Law “On Employment...”, you can familiarize yourself with the current list of persons who are included in the category of unemployed citizens.

Expert opinion

Oleg Ustinov

Practicing lawyer, author of the website “Legal Ambulance”, one of the co-founders of the “Our Future” foundation.

This list includes able-bodied Russians who joined the labor exchange and are not currently working. And even more so - those who do not receive wages.

Such employees should immediately after dismissal or settlement take their documents from their manager and hurry to find a job. After they are registered, the unemployed fall under the direct protection of the state, the current legislative acts of which provide for certain guarantees, which consist of regular cash contributions until the citizen receives a new job and a permanent income.

In order for the Employment Center staff to register you as unemployed, you will need the following documents :

1. ID card/passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
2. work book (if you had already carried out work activities before contacting the Labor Center);
3. educational documents (school certificate, diplomas, etc.) on the basis of which the organization’s employees will select a profession;
4. a certificate of average earnings at your last place of work for the last 3 months (needed only if before contacting the center you worked for at least the specified period);
5. In addition, today employees of the labor exchange are increasingly asking clients for an extract from the individual personal account of the insured person, which is necessary for obtaining a cash benefit.

Features of registering as unemployment for disabled people

Citizens of the Russian Federation who are included in the category of disabled people, in order to prove their special status, must present, in accordance with current legislation, the so-called individual rehabilitation program, which today is issued in accordance with the procedure established by law and contains a medical report, that is, the conditions and scope of activity recommended by a specialist unemployed.

Conditions for registering with the employment center

After registration at the labor exchange, the applicant is presented with some responsibilities that should be familiarized with as quickly as possible. An unemployed person needs:

• Visit the employment service 2 times a month (at a predetermined date and time). If this is neglected, the amount of cash payments will be less than expected or they may stop altogether;
• For vacancies found (which will be offered almost every day), you need to respond promptly (i.e., come for interviews).

If within 12 months the applicant does not choose a job, then any available vacancy, even one that does not require special skills, will be included in the list of those offered.

Unemployment benefit cannot be paid for more than 12 months within a period of 18 months

It is also worth considering that not all residents of Russia can be officially considered unemployed and receive government payments.

Who cannot have unemployed status?

Some persons cannot have unemployed status, namely:

• pensioners who receive a pension;
• citizens under 16 years of age;
• subject to administrative penalties;
• persons who do not have any education and do not agree to study.

Excerpt from Article 3 of the Law of the Russian Federation N 1032-1

Who cannot be considered unemployed?

• Citizens who have already retired and receive an old-age pension;
• Persons who have not yet reached 16 years of age;
• Persons sentenced to correctional labor;
• If a person registers with the Employment Center, but has not worked anywhere before, has not studied and does not have qualifications. He was offered training at TsZN, which he refused twice;
• The list of citizens who may still be denied the status of unemployed can be found in Part 3 of Article 3 of the Federal Law “On Employment in the Russian Federation”.

Online labor exchange

Most people who want to quickly register with an employment center want to know whether there is an official online labor exchange in the Russian Federation?

There are some, but their scale is limited to one region. Today they are not so popular. However, this could be an ideal opportunity to find work for citizens living in remote towns and villages. Also, these resources are created only in large cities. Their goal is to help people find suitable jobs. But, unfortunately, this is where the work of online exchanges ends.

Electronic services will not be able to register an unemployed person and issue him a monthly allowance, as well as provide various services that are provided by the employment center.

Important ! All this can only be achieved with a personal visit to the local employment authorities, where you will need to provide all the necessary documents.

There are online labor exchanges, but they are not very popular and beneficial for the population

However, for those who want to find a new job as quickly as possible, online exchanges can provide some assistance by offering a list of current vacancies in a specific city.

Electronic exchanges can also provide information assistance to the unemployed, as they provide all the necessary information on their website in electronic format regarding ongoing training sessions and seminars. These events are organized by the employment center, therefore, attending them is absolutely free, which is a significant advantage for unemployed citizens.

Labor exchange: general questions

In order to help citizens stabilize their life situation at the time of job loss, the state of our country has developed such a measure as labor exchanges. This organization exists in every city, and every unemployed person can apply to the exchange. The labor exchange is classified as a social organization, and employees must immediately respond to requests from each person who applies at their place of residence or registration. The purpose of labor exchanges is to quickly provide registered citizens with information about available vacancies, as well as to pay unemployment benefits to Russians while they are looking for a new place of employment.

A government regulation published in 2012 states that there are a number of rules that apply to the activities of labor exchanges. Thus, all citizens recognized as unemployed, regardless of their location, have the right to join the stock exchange to find a job. Accordingly, stock exchange employees who refuse to register a person with a stock exchange are breaking the law. In this situation, a citizen has the right to demand a written refusal, which will be evidence of a violation of his rights and will serve as the basis for protecting his interests in court.

However, not every unemployed person is recognized as unemployed. According to the law “On Employment in the Russian Federation,” some categories of citizens do not have the right to join the labor exchange. Let's figure out what we're talking about.

Who can't join the labor exchange?

Article No. 3 of the above-mentioned law states that people who do not fall under the list of main criteria are recognized as unemployed. That is, labor exchange services are not available to those who are:

1. Those sentenced to correctional labor.
2. An old-age pensioner.
3. A person under sixteen years of age.
4. Full-time student.
5. Military personnel.
6. Previously convicted citizen.
7. A person who does not have a Russian passport.
8. Those on maternity leave (applies not only to mothers, but also to fathers and grandparents).
9. The founder of a commercial organization or individual entrepreneur.
10. A person who has refused two or more job offers from the exchange received within 10 days.
11. A person who has provided false information about himself or his professional skills.

Accordingly, a person who does not fit into one of the above categories can legally require registration with the labor exchange. It is recommended for everyone to do this, not only those who have lost their jobs, but also those who have never worked before.

Article 3. Procedure and conditions for recognizing citizens as unemployed

Despite the fact that there are no penalties for citizens who do not have a permanent or official place of work, one should not neglect the opportunity to receive state support from the employment service. Yesterday's students who have received a profession and a diploma, as well as pregnant women, can and even should apply to the exchange. Let's look at the latter in a little more detail.

Labor exchange for pregnant women

Civil legislation states: pregnancy cannot be grounds for dismissal or refusal to hire a woman. If such a situation occurs, the expectant mother will be able to find a suitable vacancy at the labor exchange.

Within ten days after a pregnant woman registers with the employment service, she must be provided with at least two vacancies in her specialty. If this does not happen, the woman is registered as unemployed and a cash benefit is determined for her. Payments will last until the 30th week of pregnancy occurs and the woman is officially placed on maternity leave. After this, she can no longer be a member of the labor exchange, we talked about this above.

The labor exchange greatly simplifies the job search

Is it possible for women in this situation to register and receive unemployment payments?

Anyone who meets the above-mentioned requirements, which do not mention anything about pregnant women, can register with the CZN. This means that women expecting a child can safely apply to the labor exchange. They have no right to refuse.

For 10 days, employees of the Employment Center, taking into account the woman’s existing education and skills, will offer her at least two current vacancies every day.

Pregnant women can also register with the employment center

If a suitable option cannot be found, then the pregnant woman will be assigned unemployed status and benefits will be accrued until 30 weeks of pregnancy, after which the woman begins maternity leave.

Important ! For further payments, she should contact the social security authorities. There you also need to provide certain documents, according to which payments will be calculated.

To receive payments, you must be registered with the Employment Center. This is available to persons who have reached the age of 16, do not have a job, and are not studying full-time. The labor exchange helps unemployed people register not so that they can receive payments, but to help them find a suitable job. The fight against unemployment is the main task of the employment center employees, and payments are just a little help until the citizen can find a job and provide for himself.

If a person is a full-time student, he cannot join the labor exchange

You need to go to the center at your place of registration. Like other government organizations, employment services in large cities have personal official websites. State employment centers are very different from virtual freelance exchanges and cannot provide the opportunity to register remotely. Therefore, contacting the employment service with a package of documents is an integral task for a person wishing to register. In addition, the labor exchange requires constant visits.

The CZN website is only an information platform that makes it possible to find out about the location of the exchange, working phone numbers, work and reception hours. Vacancies for jobs are also published on the website.

What is a labor exchange and its functions

The labor exchange is a rather colloquial concept. You will not find it in any of the regulatory documents. Officially, the labor exchange is called the employment center (PEC) or employment service authorities.

The labor exchange is similar to any other exchange - in this case it is an intermediary between the employer and the person looking for work. The main function is to help two parties find each other for mutually beneficial cooperation.

Employment service functions:

1. Registration of a citizen as a job seeker, which subsequently gives the right to be assigned the status of unemployed.
2. Payment of unemployment benefits to citizens who meet the requirements of employment legislation.
3. Career guidance activities to identify citizens’ preferences for employment.
4. Vocational training and retraining for professions in demand on the labor market with stipends.
5. Formation of a database of employer vacancies and employee resumes.
6. Subsidizing for starting your own business after the applicant successfully defends a business plan.
7. Assistance in relocating to another area in the direction of the Center for Significance.
8. Psychological support and social adaptation, including for people with disabilities.
9. Organization of public works, temporary employment of teenagers, etc.

Any type of assistance in employment of citizens by government agencies is provided free of charge.

To officially become unemployed and worsen state unemployment statistics, you need to register with the Employment Center and receive the appropriate status. If you do not have a job, are looking for one, but are not registered, for the state you are still an employed person.

After reading, you will understand how to stop working for pennies at a job you don’t like and start LIVING truly freely and with pleasure!

It will not be possible to register with the employment center online. With a set of documents, you will have to personally go to the central registration center at your permanent registration address. In large cities, several branches are open at once, so first you need to find out where exactly to go.

In all regions there are official websites of the employment service, where you can find out the address of the desired branch and the reception time for citizens. In addition, there is a bank of vacancies and resumes of employees, information on preparing documents for registration, advanced training, etc.

This is, for example, what the official website of the Moscow Central Tax Service looks like. You don't have to be unemployed to use the information portal. You can register and log into your personal account through State Services.

In addition to regional sites, there is an official portal “Work in Russia”. This is a nationwide database of vacancies. There you can search for available vacancies yourself, customizing the filter to suit your needs, or post your resume for the employer.

There are so-called electronic labor exchanges. For example, the popular HeadHunter, SuperJob, Avito, etc. You look at job offers or post information about yourself on resources. But government assistance in finding a job can only be obtained at employment centers.

Registration of payments for the unemployed, necessary documents

A person interested in employment will need to provide some mandatory documents, namely: a passport, work record book, school certificates, diplomas from educational institutions, pension and tax certificates, and an extract from a personal account.

The work record book and education documents must be submitted in the original. If any documents are not available, the person will not be able to register and count on government payments.

You need to have the entire package of documents

The income document is drawn up in the accounting department of the enterprise where the citizen worked before dismissal. All certificates and documents must be free of errors, corrections, inaccuracies and other shortcomings. They must contain only truthful information. Responsibility for the information provided falls on the management of the enterprise and the chief accountant.

Important ! Labor exchange employees have the right to repeatedly request information from the relevant authorities to ensure its accuracy.

The procedure for joining the labor exchange

When an unemployed person applies to the Central Work Center with all the necessary documentation, one cannot count on the fact that he will definitely be registered and paid benefits. Within 10 days from the date of application, employees offer the citizen:

• current vacancies, and if there are none, then they offer public work;
• If there is no specialty or education, then they offer training.

If during this time a person does not find the desired job, he is registered and paid.

Excerpt from Article 3 of the Law of the Russian Federation N 1032-1

But there are some nuances. According to legislative acts, a citizen cannot register if:

1. The citizen has no specialty, no work experience, and at the same time did not agree to undergo training twice.
2. The person ignores the need to regularly visit the service for 10 days.
3. Failure to appear at the central control center on the established date and time in order to register is noted.
4. It was discovered that an incomplete package of documents or false information was provided.
5. Twice I did not agree to the offered vacancies. In this case, suitable work is considered:

• work in the specialty;
• corresponding to physical abilities and well-being;
• if the salary is above the subsistence level and is within the reach of public transport.

Sometimes a citizen may not be registered or removed from it

Important ! In such situations, a decision is made to refuse a citizen to acquire unemployed status. But after 30 days he can again come to the employment service to register.

Submitted an application to the Central Tax Service: what next?

After you have submitted documents to apply for unemployment benefits, you will have to wait a maximum of 11 days: during this time they will be reviewed, and specialists will determine whether the citizen needs to be registered. You can find out the status of your application to the Employment Center on the “Work in Russia” portal.

While a citizen is registered, from time to time he will have to come to the central employment center at his place of residence to find out about current vacancies. There is no need to do this during quarantine: all the information is on the websites. Moreover, if a suitable vacancy is found, you must appear for an interview within three days or contact the organization’s employees to agree on conducting it remotely via video conference.

Registered citizens often ask how to obtain a certificate of income for an unemployed person. This can be done at the Central Labor Office: a certificate from the bank confirming that you have received benefits and that you are unemployed may be required to prove that the citizen is currently unable to repay the loan.

While you are registered with the Employment Center, you can look for work on your own. For example, you can always start working as self-employed, even if it is temporary. You will have to pay taxes yourself, and even without the need to generate tax reports. In this case, you will not have to pay insurance premiums to the Pension Fund and Social Insurance Fund.

Just keep in mind that the self-employed can no longer have the “unemployed” status - you will lose the assigned benefit. However, if the income from self-employment significantly exceeds payments from the Central Employment Fund, it is better to immediately start working on your own.

Who needs to register with the Central Bank as quickly as possible?

In any case, all unemployed people should contact the labor exchange as quickly as possible, since, without being registered, a citizen does not have the right to apply for cash payments from the state. But for some workers who have lost their jobs, it is especially important not to delay in contacting the Labor Protection Center. We are talking about those citizens who were laid off or left without work due to the cessation of the company’s activities. According to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, they have the right to receive an average salary for 2 months, while actively looking for a new job.

Important ! If, after being laid off, an employee managed to register within 14 days, then he can count on payment of the average salary for one additional month (Labor Code of the Russian Federation, Article 178. Severance pay).

It is recommended to contact the central control center as quickly as possible

Employees who have lost their jobs for other reasons should also rush to contact the employment service. The problem is that if an employee registered for unemployment only a year after his dismissal, then his position will be less favorable compared to other citizens who did it much faster:

• if more than 1 year has passed since the date of dismissal, after registering, the unemployed can count on payments based not on the average salary, but on the very minimum;
• if a citizen who quit more than 1 year ago refuses to undergo training or perform community service for additional monetary remuneration, then sanctions will be imposed on him in the form of stopping payments;
• for citizens who have been retired for more than 1 year, any vacancy, even one that does not require skills and knowledge, will be considered suitable.

How much do they pay at the labor exchange in the Russian Federation and Moscow in 2021?

It is immediately worth noting that the amount of payments on the exchange, established back in 2009, has undergone changes in 2021. So, today the amount of the minimum and maximum amounts have been increased . In addition, the amount of benefits for citizens of pre-retirement age was increased!

However, the actual size of the payments under consideration, as before, depends entirely on specific indicators, which include:

1. grounds for dismissal from previous employment;
2. the average salary at the last place of work for the last three months;
3. the number of weeks worked at the previous place of work during the year before applying to the Employment Center (only formalized working relationships are considered).

The main disadvantages of contacting an employment center

There are several disadvantages of cooperation with the exchange, which are worth familiarizing yourself with in advance.

The labor exchange has some disadvantages

These include:

• relatively small amount of payments. It is almost impossible to live on the benefits paid, unless you spend money on exclusively necessary and inexpensive food products. You shouldn’t even think about buying any things. However, this is better than receiving nothing at all;
• the need to regularly visit the labor exchange. In addition, you should constantly search for a new job and go for interviews for vacancies that the service employees have selected, despite the fact that they may not interest you at all. If this is ignored, the person may be deregistered and benefits may cease to be paid;
• short period of stay on the stock exchange. Benefits can only be paid for 12 months over a period of 18 months.

You need to regularly visit the labor exchange and go for interviews

Application for registration

The list of documents for the labor exchange includes an application drawn up by the person wishing to register. It is issued when submitting papers with the help of an employee of the employment center. In its form, it is a questionnaire in which all columns must be filled out.

Read about what kind of work is offered at the labor exchange.

Information indicated in the form:

• Full name;
• Date of birth, gender;
• Address of registration and actual residence (if different);
• Level of education, qualifications;
• Information about previous place of work, etc.

The application form includes not only the above information, but also other information. There will be no difficulties with filling out - all information is entered based on the collected list of documents.

Stopping benefit payments

Only an authorized person of the employment center can suspend payments or reduce their size, who must inform the citizen about this.

The grounds for termination of payments and deregistration are the following factors:

• if the citizen does find a job;
• completing vocational training and advanced training courses provided by the Center for Education (such training and education includes scholarship payments);
• for a whole year or more the citizen did not visit the service for unjustified reasons;
• an unemployed person moved to another city;
• a fraudulent way to register and receive benefits;
• the judicial authorities sentenced the unemployed to imprisonment;
• the citizen began to receive a pension;
• the person refused the assistance provided by the labor exchange employees;
• death of a citizen (in such an outcome, benefits are supposed to be paid to his children, according to the civil code).

Important ! This is stated in Article 35 of the Law of the Russian Federation dated April 19, 1991 N 1032-1 (as amended on December 11, 2018) “On employment in the Russian Federation.”

There are certain cases in which unemployment benefit payments may be suspended.

Reasons for stopping payments for up to one month

Stopping benefits payments to the unemployed for up to one month can be explained by several reasons:

1. The citizen did not agree to two offered vacancies at the time of unemployment.
2. Upon completion of 90 days of being unemployed, the person refused to take part in public events for which payment is due, or if the citizen is looking for work for the first time, without having any education, or after a long time of being unemployed (more than 1 year has passed since the dismissal) did not want to undergo the training provided by the Center.
3. If on the day of re-registration a person came in a drunk or drugged state, or under the influence of other intoxicating drugs. At the discretion of the employment service employees, a medical examination may be carried out, based on the results of which a report will be drawn up.
4. If the employee was suspended from his previous job due to violation of labor rules and regulations, or for other illegal acts (the same applies to students who were expelled due to unacceptable actions).
5. Citizens, without serious reasons, did not comply with the conditions and time of re-registration (in this case, benefits are stopped being paid from the next day after the last visit to the central health center).
6. The unemployed person, of his own free will and without good reason, stopped attending training sessions to which he was sent by the labor exchange employees.

Excerpt from Article 35 of the Law of the Russian Federation of April 19, 1991 N 1032-1

Main ! The period for which benefit payments to the unemployed are stopped is taken into account in the total time of payments.

Calculation and accrual

The benefit amount is determined as a percentage of the average earnings of the unemployed at his previous job over the past three months.

During the year before unemployment, the person must have been in an employment relationship for at least 26 weeks (Clause 1, Article 30 of the Employment Law).

In any case, the amount of the benefit cannot be less than the minimum and more than the maximum amount of unemployment benefit.

Average daily earnings

Resolution of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation dated August 12, 2003 No. 62 establishes the rules for determining average daily earnings:

Average earnings = average daily earnings x average monthly number of working days in the billing period.

Average daily earnings = the amount of salary that was accrued for the billing period / the number of days worked.

The amount of earnings is taken for the last three months worked (from the 1st to the 1st).

Minimum size

The value is established annually by the Government of the Russian Federation . In 2021 it was 850 rubles, and in 2021 it was already 1,500 rubles.

The amount of the benefit increases by the size of the regional coefficient.

Maximum size

This value is also approved annually by the Government of the Russian Federation. In 2018 it was 4,900 rubles, and in 2021 it is already 12,130 rubles (including for people of pre-retirement age).

Find out more details about the minimum and maximum amount of unemployment payments in a separate article, and you can read more about how benefits are calculated here.

During 2021, a temporary procedure for registering for unemployment and receiving benefits is in effect. You can register remotely, without leaving your home: through the “Work in Russia” and State Services portals. For those who quit and registered after March 1, 2020, increased benefits have been introduced: from April to June they will be able to receive 12,130 rubles, regardless of lost earnings. For minor children they will pay another 3,000 rubles.

Refusal to pay unemployment benefits

Payments to the unemployed may not be paid during:

1. Holidays according to BiR.
2. Moving to a new place of residence in another city or studying in educational institutions.
3. Conscription into the army, the need to participate in military training activities or fulfill one’s national duty.

Main ! All this time is not taken into account in the general period of payment of benefits to the unemployed, but is extended for a certain period.

This is also indicated in Article 35 of the Law of the Russian Federation of April 19, 1991 N 1032-1.

Unemployment benefits are not paid during maternity leave

Stages of registering the unemployed

In the Labor Center, the unemployed must:

• Collect all documents required for Labor Exchange specialists.
• Make an appointment using the website, phone, or by visiting the center in person.
• Come at the appointed time, fill out an application, fill out a form and receive the first offers.
• Wait for the results of consideration of the issue of registration and assignment of unemployment benefits.
• Follow the Internal Regulations, go to interviews, including looking for a job on your own.

Responsibilities facing an unemployed citizen

To be sure that the employment center will register you as unemployment and pay the appropriate benefits, you must comply with some mandatory requirements.

Important ! Otherwise, the amount of payments may be reduced to the minimum or canceled altogether.

What responsibilities does a citizen face, the observance of which will help to maintain the payments due to him?

1. Come to the central registration center on the specified date and time to re-register. At the same time, stock exchange employees do not have the right to call an unemployed person more than 2 times every 30 days. When you come for re-registration, you must have your passport and work book with you (if you have one, otherwise you need a diploma). During each re-registration procedure, the service employee informs the citizen about the next date of the visit.
2. Receive referrals from the labor exchange to enterprises experiencing a shortage of personnel.
3. Come to your potential boss for an interview 3 days after receiving the invitation.
4. Immediately notify center employees about starting a new job, starting a business, or enrolling in full-time education.
5. After 3 months of being registered, take part in public work or accept an invitation to study (especially for those persons who have not worked for more than a year or have not been employed at all).
6. Choose at least a couple of vacant offers if they suit you.

You must comply with all legal regulations in order to receive payments or apply for any vacancies.

How much money can an unemployed person get?

The amount of state benefits in 2021 ranges from 1,500 to 12,310 rubles.
Those who have not previously worked or were fired, for example, for absenteeism, can only count on minimal assistance. People who have not worked for a long time or have no work experience at all are paid an amount corresponding to the minimum wage in the region. In other cases, the benefit amount is calculated based on the average salary from the last place of work. In the first month 75% is charged, in the second - 60%, in the third and subsequent months 45%, but not more than 12,130 rubles. Regional coefficients are also taken into account.

How long can I remain registered and receive unemployment benefits?

As soon as a citizen is registered with the Central Social Insurance Fund, he begins to be interested in the question of how long he will be registered and receive benefits. If we talk about time, it is not limited. However, it is worth considering that the same cannot be said about the benefit. Payments are made only for 1 year from the date of registration in the Central Bank. Reasons why an unemployed person is removed from the register:

• he went to work;
• is undergoing training;
• ignored the need to visit the stock exchange for a month, without having a valid reason;
• the citizen changed his place of residence (moving outside the city).

Important ! In some cases, benefits may be suspended. As a rule, this is due to the fact that the unemployed person refused to accept an invitation to take a suitable job twice.

You can be registered for an unlimited amount of time, but benefits are paid only for a year

What else may affect the decision of the Central Tax Service employees to suspend payments to a citizen:

• after 3 months of being registered, he refused to participate in paid public events;
• refused to undergo training required by stock exchange employees;
• come to the central hall in an inappropriate state (drunk, under the influence of drugs).

To receive unemployment benefits, you must follow certain rules. It is important to remember that it can be assigned for a limited amount of time, therefore, you will definitely have to look for a job.

Documents upon dismissal from an employer

The employer is obliged to provide the employee with the following documents for the labor exchange after dismissal:

• employment history;
• salary certificate in form 182n, required in the Labor Center.

If there is no certificate for unemployment benefits from your previous place of work, its amount will be calculated according to the minimum wage. When an employee is laid off or fired, this document must be issued on the day indicated in the work book as the last working day. Otherwise, the resigned employee may request that a certificate be issued within three days.

You can also obtain the following certificates when dismissing an employee:

• 2-NDFL;
• SZV-M;
• SZV-STAGE;
• DSV-3.

They are not required to be submitted to the central control center.

A certificate to the employment center calculating average earnings must include data for the last 3 months. The billing period does not include periods of vacation, downtime, disability, or child care. If there were no accruals in the last three months, income in previous months can be taken into account.
