Procedure at Job Contract Termination

Hello,

Soon my work contract will terminate ( expire ) and I am not going to renew it. Does anybody know the process which I need to go thru. Specific questions :

1. Shall I talk to the Arbeitsamt ? How can they know that I am working for company X anymore ?
2. How much time will I have before I need to leave Germany ? Is there any clear law or is this a Beamter issue ?
3. What else would I need to do ?

Thanks in advance,

Atreides

1a. "Shall I talk to the Arbeitsamt ?", yes because you will be unemployed and they need to be notified of that.
1b. "How can they know that I am working for company X anymore?", it can be known be checking with the Social insurance company because you leaving your company, your employer will notifiy them that they won't be paying that anymore.
2a. "How much time will I have before I need to leave Germany ?", if you're eligible for unemployment benefits, then the time of yout unemployment benefits.
2b. "Is there any clear law or is this a Beamter issue ?", there's a law for that.
3. "What else would I need to do ?", hum... search for another job?

Re: Procedure at Job Contract Termination

Thanks for the answers. Restating my questions :

Q1. My visa says the visa will expire when my working contract with my current company ends. Currently I have already made my application for "selbststaendige erwerbtaetigkeit". I am still waiting for the decision. But it is of course possible that the decision can be made left. Would I get any problems if my current visa expires and my visa application is not yet answered ( a period of 2-3 weeks I guess. ) ?

Q2. I have been working for this company since 3 years. Is this enough for being eligible to unemployment benefits ?

Thanks.

Re: Procedure at Job Contract Termination

Answer to Q1: as your visa says so, you will be staying illegally after the end of the contract with your current employer, but you can then argument it by the fact that you have a visa request in progress.
But you better register to the AA so you could be eligible to stay for 12 months and by this mean, wait for the answer of your application.

Answer to Q2: yes, for 12 months.

"Answer to Q2: yes, for 12 months."

no it is 18 months.
but you also need Visa.
if they give you Visa only for 6 months then if you do not find job in 6 months you are out in 6 months.
whole 18 months is hard to get.
They give 3-6 months

Re: Procedure at Job Contract Termination

This is absolute nonsense that we are all forced to pay into the Arbeitslosengeld-Kasse, when we are not allowed to enjoy its benefit at all !!

If the government knows to formulate such stupid rules regarding the visa, and that too specially for GC Holders, they should also have exempted us from PV, RV and ALV, as they say to us: "We dont want you after 5 years". This holds true till the new law comes into effect! Only the health insurance is something useful for GC´s.

" when we are not allowed to enjoy its benefit at all !! "

I think no one should really be "enjoying" the unemployment benifits actually...

Anyway, If the Ausländerbehörde gives a visa of 3 months, then it is possible to extend it for another 3 months, if you prove that you are already looking for a job in these three months and want to try for 3 months more.

Hey Fred,

you wrote "This is absolute nonsense that we are all forced to pay into the Arbeitslosengeld-Kasse, when we are not allowed to enjoy its benefit at all !!" For enjoying the benefit of the Arbeitslosengeld, you have to be unemployed, and do you think you're gonna 'enjoy' your state of being unemployed when all you care about is working?

Re: Procedure at Job Contract Termination

Come on, friends.....Why shout at me as I said "enjoy" ALG?
Change it as "Get" or "Receive" when you read it.

Actually I didnt feel it wrong. You have something to support you when you havent a job. I dont mean it enjoyable to be unemployed. But its good that we get some income. In my homeland, India, you wont get a single dime if you dont have a job. In a way its good too. People know that saving is important. If you save all the money you pay into the various Kassen, its enough for you to live in your old age !!!

Can someone here assure me that not even a single person living in Germany is not sitting back on his couch watching TV and getting (or rather enjoying) AL Geld? Why work for 450 Euro per month and pay the half in taxes when you can take rest at home and get 300 Euro ALG without moving a single muscle????

Long live German Welfare Schemes!!!

-Fred

(Please dont misunderstand that am saying anything against Germany. I love Germany and its my second home. But the schemes have to be revamped and GCs should be treated equally as humans, and not crap!)
