If you have part-time work or you are employed in a part-time business, you may be entitled to adjusted daily allowance. You have to fulfill the employment and membership condition and must have registered as an unemployed jobseeker with the employment authority. In an adjusted daily allowance arrangement, 50% of the income you have earned will reduce your daily allowance.
Adjusted daily allowance can be paid if you
- work part-time (up to 80% of the maximum working hours of full-time work)
- have been temporarily laid off to work shorter days
- are working full-time for a maximum of 2 weeks
- are working as a full-time entrepreneur for a maximum of 2 weeks
- are a part-time entrepreneur or self-employed person. Please note! All work other than work performed in an employment relationship as an employee is considered business activities even if you do not have your own company or business ID. As a rule, meeting fees are also adjustable income, except for the board fees of housing companies.
Adjusted daily allowance cannot be paid in all cases. Such a situation may arise if
- the employment is part-time on your own initiative
- your working hours exceed 80% of those of full-time work
- your employer cannot monitor your working hours (This can apply to you if your job pays you on a commission basis, for example. The fact that your income has decreased does not in itself allow for the payment of an adjusted daily allowance. The unemployment fund must be shown proof that a record has been kept of your working hours and that your hours have decreased.)
- you receive an annual leave salary based on full-time work
- the amount of your adjusted daily allowance exceeds the limit defined by law. The adjusted daily allowance and earned income during the adjustment period are higher than the salary on which the daily allowance is based.
