“The employment service granted him the standing of an employed particular person, and didn’t begin paying unemployment advantages, as a result of the person has an inactive however not but liquidated small partnership. All the things can be logical if the small group might not less than theoretically carry earnings to an individual. However the issue is that the accounts of the small affiliation are blocked when the state initiates the liquidation, so the unemployed particular person can’t obtain any earnings, even when he desires to, and the liquidation can solely be terminated by court docket. The strangest factor is that if an individual himself initiates the liquidation of the partnership, unemployment profit is paid. Subsequently, an individual finds himself between a rock and a tough place – theoretically he’s unemployed, however in apply he can’t use his proper to unemployment profit”, says T. Tomilinas within the explanatory word of the doc.

Based on L. Kukuraitis, Deputy Secretary of the Social Affairs and Labor Committee of the Seimas, a big a part of the unemployed registered on the Employment Service don’t obtain unemployment insurance coverage advantages. Based on “Sodra” knowledge, in 2018-2022 interval, the share of unemployed individuals receiving unemployment insurance coverage advantages different from 33% as much as 43 %
It’s hoped that the amendments to the legislation will scale back the chance that people who find themselves quickly unemployed will expertise poverty and social exclusion.
It’s proposed that the amendments to the Employment Legislation enter into drive from subsequent yr.
