The government proposes the expansion of unemployment funds’ functions
The government has submitted a proposal to Parliament to expand the functions of unemployment funds. According to the proposal, unemployment funds would be given the opportunity to offer their members new services that support further employment. This includes services, such as job placement, advisory and guidance services, evaluations, and training.
The services offered by unemployment funds would not replace public employment and business services but would complement them. The provision of services and participation in them would be voluntary, and participation or non-participation would not affect the member's unemployment security.
The services would be financed from the unemployment fund's own resources, and public funding would not be used for them.
