The timing for registering a citizen as an unemployed person after dismissal is determined by him independently. The only exception is the termination of an employment contract to reduce the number (staff) or due to the liquidation of the organization, in which it is recommended to get up at the labor exchange within two weeks.
Russian legislation provides for a number of measures aimed at promoting employment and protecting those citizens who have been left without work. A prerequisite for obtaining such support is registration at the labor exchange and the recognition of a person as unemployed. In this case, a person will be able to receive an appropriate allowance, which will partially provide his maintenance until the moment of employment. There are no strict deadlines for registration at the labor exchange after dismissal, the citizen determines them independently. A certain period is established only for those persons who were dismissed on grounds related to the reduction of the number, staff, or liquidation of the company. In any case, it should be remembered that the benefit will be accrued only after contacting the labor exchange.
Terms for applying in case of reduction or liquidation of an employer
If an employee was dismissed due to the termination of the activities of a company, an individual entrepreneur, or fell under the layoff, then the labor law recommends that he contact the employment authorities within two weeks from the date of dismissal. The reason for determining this period is that upon dismissal for the indicated reasons, the employee receives the right to maintain average earnings for the period of employment (two months after dismissal). In exceptional cases, the period for maintaining the average salary is extended for a third month, but a prerequisite for such an extension is contacting the employment service within two weeks after dismissal and lack of employment.
Features of keeping average earnings for a laid-off employee
Citizens who want to keep average earnings for the period of employment should take into account that such an opportunity exists only when the employment contract is terminated on the grounds indicated above. In other cases, salary retention is not provided, so you can contact the labor exchange at any time to speed up the registration of the appropriate allowance. If the average earnings for the former employee are retained, then the allowance during the period of such retention will not be accrued to him despite the presence of registration with the employment service, therefore it is impossible to receive these payments at the same time. Calculation of unemployment benefits will begin on the day following the last day the average earnings were saved.
