Will a suspension period be set before payment of daily allowance begins?

A suspension period, meaning a period in which benefits are not paid, will be set in certain cases, such as if you quit your job without a cause that is acceptable in labour market policy terms. The suspension period is set by the TE Office, and such a decision is binding upon the KOKO fund.

The suspension period is often confused with the waiting period, which is set by KOKO. The waiting period applies for instance when you apply for daily allowance for the first time. The waiting period is a period corresponding to 7 full working days during which you would normally be paid daily allowance. The waiting period can only be set after a suspension period or the periodization of a financial benefit paid by the employer.
