2.Can a employer lawfully stop Unemployment benefit.If so what can an eployee do in that case....report to employment office or....?
3. What is the duration of unemployment benefit for a GC in grankfurt.Is it limited to 6 month or more.
Thanks in advance

Re: Unemployment benefit and method of employment termination
1. "If any employee resigns will he get Unemployment benefit", AFAIK, no.
2. "Can a employer lawfully stop Unemployment benefit.If so what can an eployee do in that case....report to employment office or....?", AFAIK, no.
3. "What is the duration of unemployment benefit for a GC in Frankfurt.Is it limited to 6 month or more.", the unemployment benefit is not related to where you live but for how ylong you've been work. Just a simple view:
- less than 12 months: no unemployment benefit
- from 12 to 24 months: 6 months unemployment benefit
- more than 24 months: 12 months unemployment benefit
Some1 can correct me if I said sth wrong.

Re: Unemployment benefit and method of employment termination
The best person to be asked these questions would be your employment office. But unfortunately with my past experience no one there too would be aware of complete law. In my case to 'change my visa status', when every time I telephoned, I got a different answer.
According to my knowledge :
1.If any employee resigns will he get Unemployment benefit.
- If you are on the green card then yes. But duration of beneift depands on how long u have paid the taxes.
2.Can a employer lawfully stop Unemployment benefit.If so what can an eployee do in that case....report to employment office or....?
- You get the benefit from the Unemployment-Office so ur employer cannot influence it. But in case ur talking about the salary which u get during ur notice period then better read that clause in ur contract. It would be illegal not to pay anything during that time but if the notice period itself is very short then he will pay u for that short time.
3. What is the duration of unemployment benefit for a GC in grankfurt.Is it limited to 6 month or more.
- This law does not depands on place or city. As far as I know it should depand on how long u have paid the taxes and what kind of visa do u have.
e.g If green-card and u have paid taxes for 2-3 years then u should get benefit upto one year.
If u have a normal work permit then either u will get no benefit or may up to max 3 months.
But still as I said ur lawer or employment officer would be the best person to be asked.

Re: Unemployment benefit and method of employment termination
"- from 12 to 24 months: 6 months unemployment benefit
- more than 24 months: 12 months unemployment benefit"
not exactly.
from 12 to 15 months: 6 months unemployment benefit;
from 16 to 19 months: 8 months unemployment benefit;
from 20 to 23 months: 10 months unemployment benefit;
you are not 55 years old or older, are you? then
more than 24 months: 12 months unemployment benefit.
moreover, if you already had a right on unemployment benefit and received it during last 4 years, remaining quantity of months (during which you still had a right for unemployment benefit but did not used it due to a new work) from last case of unemployment is added up to current time period, up to (you are not 55 or older?) 12 months maximum.
and there is one more hidden thing here: month is calculated as 30 days, therefore it will not be full x months but less, because some months have 31 days in them *lol*
