How much does the job center pay? Unfortunately, this question is asked very often in our country. And not only students who have not yet found a suitable job and want to receive at least some money, but also people middle age who retired from different reasons or laid off. Several phases of the financial crisis over the past decade have forced employers to cut costs. As a result, a lot of people appeared on the labor exchange who need financial support from the state.
How much do retired workers get paid at the labor exchange
While people dismissed for any reason (except for those who lost their jobs due to violation of labor discipline) are registered, they are entitled to the following payments:
- in the first 3 months - 75% of the average monthly salary;
- in the next 4 months - 60% of the average monthly salary;
- in the next 5 months - 45% of the average monthly salary.
However, the accrued allowance in the employment center cannot exceed the maximum amount of unemployment payment, which is established by the Government of the Russian Federation. The maximum amount of unemployment benefits for 2014 is 4900 rubles. The minimum unemployment rate for 2014 is 850 rubles. The amounts are indexed by the value of the district coefficient.
People often ask how much the job center pays unemployed people who have never worked anywhere before. Such citizens are entitled to only the minimum monthly allowance. The same amount is paid to those dismissed for violation of labor discipline (absenteeism, drunkenness, etc.), who have worked less than 26 weeks and those who have been registered for more than a year, as well as former entrepreneurs and former members of farms.
Unemployment benefits for pregnant women
Very often the question arises of how much pregnant women are paid at the labor exchange. Everything is simple here - expectant mothers are not singled out in a separate category, and the amount of their allowance, as well as all categories of citizens, depends on the salary at the previous job, status (never worked, got laid off, quit of her own free will, etc.). But there is one caveat - 70 days before the birth, payments stop. It's not discrimination, it's just future mom will receive sick leave for this period (140 days), which is paid by the social security authorities.
Social guarantees for unemployed citizens
- The state guarantees the period of incapacity for work of a citizen.
- The unemployed, directed from the employment center to retraining courses, advanced training or other forms of the educational process, are entitled to receive a scholarship.
- Unemployed citizens can take part in paid public works.
How to register
After you find out how much they pay at the employment center, and how much is due to you personally, you must register. How to do it? It is very simple - to come to the exchange, get a list of documents (you can see them below), collect all the necessary certificates, fill out a questionnaire and give it all to an employee of the employment center.
Citizens who have lost their jobs are advised to register two calendar weeks after their dismissal, otherwise they may lose their payment. The former employer is obliged to pay two more average monthly salaries, and if a person has not found a new job, then a third. And this third payment can be lost if you do not register within two weeks.
General list of documents for all categories of citizens
- Passport of the Russian Federation.
- Insurance certificate.
- Certificate, diploma or other document on education.
- Statement.
For previously employed people (optional)
- Employment book or other similar document confirming the fact of work (agreements, contracts).
- Income statement for the last three months.
In order to receive benefits at the labor exchange, disabled people must provide an individual rehabilitation card.
It's hard to be unemployed
As it turned out, finding out how much they pay at the labor exchange is very simple. It is much more difficult to start receiving this money. Registration problems can arise for a variety of reasons. Take, for example, an income statement. Accountants often make mistakes and issue a 2NDFL certificate, which is suitable for a tax office or any bank, but not suitable for an employment center. In the case of the exchange, a special form is needed. And it still needs to be filled out correctly, and any discrepancy gives the employee the right to refuse registration.
But even after that, there are problems. If a person turned down two suitable vacancies, his payments are suspended for three months. And the concept of “suitable vacancy” for an exchange employee and for an applicant can be very different - sometimes it seems that an employment center employee really does not understand why a person does not want to go to the other end of the city with transfers, work in shifts and get as much as 8,000 rubles for it! After all, he is offered a job in his specialty.
And it is even worse for citizens who have never worked - any paid job is considered suitable for them.
Basic rules of the employment center
Employment Center benefits payments may be reduced or stopped for the following reasons:
- if a citizen undergoes retraining, advanced training, courses with scholarships;
- in case of failure to appear at the mark without a good reason;
- when moving to another area;
- if it was established that the benefit was received fraudulently;
- if a citizen has been convicted or is on;
- when calculating a pension (labor, for length of service or early).
This is not an exhaustive list, but here are the most common reasons why payouts are cancelled.
Real help or fiction?
Information about how much they pay at the labor exchange can surprise any person. It is impossible to live on such an amount, no matter whether the maximum or minimum allowance is assigned. And what to do?
It must be understood that the policy of our state is not to support a person and encourage citizens who do not want to work in principle, and believe me, there are many of them. The main task of the employment center is to help people find a job in their specialty and to support them financially while this search lasts.
However, the labor exchange is not particularly successful in finding suitable vacancies. Most of the positions offered are low-paid, with an uncomfortable schedule, with actual processing, etc. The range of salaries is from 5 to 25 thousand rubles. There are also higher-paid vacancies, but extremely rarely, and very strict requirements are imposed on candidates: education, work experience, knowledge foreign languages- everything should be on the level.
And here, again, the employment center can help. Every year, at his own expense, he trains thousands of people: retrains, improves qualifications, teaches new, previously unclaimed specialties. It should be noted that the population has no complaints about this area of activity of the labor exchange. Many people remained grateful for the knowledge gained and for new opportunities, others did not find application for the acquired skills, but also, in general, did not lose anything. They have a reason to add a new line to the resume, which can increase the chances of employers being interested.
So we can conclude: the labor exchange provides real help. Yes, these are not mountains of gold, but still at least some financial support while a person is busy looking for a new job.
