In conditions of the economic crisis, more and more specialists are in the status of temporarily unemployed. Maintain your seniority, gain access to hot vacancies, take professional retraining courses - all this is possible today thanks to employment centers. The personnel portal site found out what documents are required when registering with the labor exchange, what is the size monthly allowance unemployment and what threatens those who illegally receive money from the state.
What to do if you are unemployed
Even the most qualified specialists are not insured against job loss. If this fate has not escaped you, then you should not bite your elbows and burn your work book on a ritual fire. The most reasonable solution in this situation is to contact the employment center. If you submit documents within two weeks from the date of dismissal, your work experience will not be interrupted.
“Registration takes place in two stages. At the first application, a citizen registers in order to find a suitable job. From this moment on, the employment service takes measures to find a suitable job for him. Information about the availability of vacancies, the level of professional training, qualifications, knowledge, skills, and work experience of a citizen is obtained from the register of employers looking for employees,” comments Anton Shanov, leading lawyer of the INTELLECT-S Group of Legal Companies.
Those registered with the Center must visit the institution at least twice a week, inform the inspector about how the job search is progressing, and also consider the vacancies offered by the center.
Pregnant women can also register with the Center. Within 10 days from the date of registration of documents, expectant mothers must be offered a choice of at least two vacancies in accordance with their qualifications. If the proposed work options are not satisfactory, then the temporarily unemployed pregnant woman is assigned a benefit payment, which will be accrued until the 30th week of pregnancy. After this period, the pregnant woman goes on “maternity leave.” This means the end of unemployment benefits.
How unemployment benefits are calculated
As long as you are listed as temporarily unemployed, the state pays you unemployment benefits. His minimum size is 850 rubles, the maximum is 4900 rubles monthly. Several factors influence the benefit amount.
If you worked for 26 weeks or more before dismissal, then the amount of payments should be 75% of your average monthly earnings. In this case, the amount of the benefit cannot exceed 4,900 rubles.
If you were fired due to staff reduction, the monthly benefit amount will be as follows:
- the amount of average monthly earnings is paid during the first three months from the date of registration with the Central Employment Center,
- 60% of the average monthly earnings - paid from 4 to 7 months of stay labor exchange,
- 45% of average monthly earnings - paid from 8 to 12 months.
The minimum benefit is calculated for those whose work experience is less than 26 weeks.

Typical case:
The employee is dismissed for any reason, except for special cases specified by law. Let’s assume that in the period 12 months before dismissal the person had paid work for at least 26 calendar weeks. If this citizen applies to the employment service for unemployment benefits, the amount of his benefit will be calculated as follows:
In the first annual cycle benefit payments:
For the first three months, benefits must be paid in the amount of 75% of the average monthly earnings of the unemployed (we are talking about the average earnings for the last three months at the last place of work); in the next four months, the benefit should be paid in the amount of 60% of the average monthly earnings of the unemployed, and then in the amount of 45%. In any case, the benefit will be paid in an amount no more than the maximum and no less than the minimum amount of unemployment benefits, increased by the size of the regional coefficient;
