Resignation notification

Please note the following:

  • When you leave the union, you do not need to leave the unemployment fund. You can continue as an individual member of the fund. In 2024, the membership fee for the Unemployment Fund for Education and Science is EUR 4.50 per month (EUR 54.00 per year).
  • When you join the Unemployment Fund for Education and Science, you must be employed in our sector, but you can also work in other fields during your membership. If you leave our sector permanently, we recommend that you consider membership in an unemployment fund that represents your own field.
  • If you switch unemployment funds, you should first send a membership application to the new fund and only send your resignation notice to the Unemployment Fund for Education and Science when your membership has been confirmed by the new fund.
  • If you start a business, you may not need to leave the unemployment fund immediately.
  • If you move abroad, find out whether it is necessary to continue membership. Contact Unemployment Fund for Education and Science to get guidance to your situation.

Important information

When you resign from the Unemployment Fund for Education and Science, you must pay the membership fees up to the resignation date. If you have been a member of the fund through a trade union, you will receive instructions on how to pay the membership fee from your union. Failure to pay membership fees may result in dismissal from the fund, and benefits paid by the fund may be recovered from the date of dismissal from the fund.

If you have been a member of the Unemployment Fund for Education and Science through a trade union, also inform your union of your resignation.

If, after resigning from the Unemployment Fund for Education and Science, you join another employee unemployment fund within one month, your periods of employment and insurance as a member of the Unemployment Fund for Education and Science will be credited to you. This requires that you have paid the membership fees until the resignation date. Unemployment security is not transferred if you have been expelled from the previous fund due to failure to pay your membership fees or fraudulent activity.

You cannot resign from the unemployment fund retroactively, so the resignation date can be no earlier than the notification date.
An exception is a transfer to another unemployment fund, in which case the resignation date can be indicated as the day before the date of joining the new fund. When you retire, you can also end your membership in the unemployment fund to be the date before you retire.
