Adjustment period (application period)

The adjustment period depends on your pay period, which is either one month or 4 consecutive calendar weeks. If you get paid per month, the daily allowance must be applied in one-month periods. If you get paid every 2 weeks, the daily allowance must be applied in periods of 4 calendar weeks. In other cases, the unemployment fund will select an adjustment period that suits your pay period best. This ensures that you will receive your daily allowance without delays. Once the adjustment period has been chosen, it cannot be changed during the work that is being adjusted. The standard entitlement depends on the adjustment period.
