Anyone who wants to quit their job themselves should contact the Employment Agency beforehand. Then the employee can discuss everything with the agency’s specialists and register as a jobseeker after giving notice.
Employees who give notice themselves must expect consequences. They receive a blocking period and no unemployment benefits during this blocking period. The blocking period usually lasts twelve weeks if the employee resigns without important reasons. Important reasons can be mobbing at work or sexual harassment at work. However, this must be proven.
During the lockout period, the employment agency pays the contributions to health and long-term care insurance. There is no compulsory pension insurance during this time. The “Digital Assistant” of the Federal Employment Agency provides information about this on its homepage. There, for example, the question “What do I have to consider when I give notice to myself?” can be entered.
