Unemployment Insurance
Unemployment insurance offers financial help for the unemployed and assistance in acquiring new employment. Anyone who has paid unemployment contributions for a certain period of time and is then made unemployed, or registers themselves as unemployed, has a right to unemployment benefits. The German Federal Employment Office ("Bundesanstalt für Arbeit") has a number of employment promotion schemes for employers and employees alike and endeavours to place as many job seekers as possible in employment.
