Jobseekers extend beyond those currently employed.

The Federal Employment Agency in Switzerland is reminding people to register as job seekers when an employment or training relationship ends. This registration is a crucial step in the process of receiving unemployment benefits, and it's essential to adhere to the deadlines and guidelines.

When employment or a training relationship comes to an end, job seekers must register as soon as possible. The deadline for registration is three months before the end of employment. However, if dismissal occurs at short notice, registration must be done within three days after the dismissal is announced.

The notification to the employment agency must be submitted three months before the end of employment, or within three days after dismissal at short notice. It's important to note that this notification is separate from the job seeker registration.

Late registration for job seekers results in a one-week waiting period for unemployment benefits. During this waiting period, unemployment benefits are not paid, and the entitlement is suspended.

Job seeker registration can be done online, in person, in writing, or by phone on the toll-free number 0800 4 555500. The authority responsible for registration as a job seeker when employment or a training relationship ends is the "RAV" (Regional Employment Office) in Switzerland. Registration must be done there, as indicated by the online registration process at RAV.

It's essential to note that registration as a job seeker is required regardless of whether the job loss is predictable or unexpected. The Federal Employment Agency urges everyone to take this step seriously and to do so promptly to ensure a smooth transition during unemployment.

The job seeker registration does not replace the unemployment notification. The unemployment notification must still be submitted as per the guidelines provided by the Federal Employment Agency.

In conclusion, it's crucial for job seekers to register with the Federal Employment Agency when an employment or training relationship ends. This registration must be done within the specified deadlines to avoid any delays in receiving unemployment benefits.
