What are the Conditions for Benefiting from Unemployment Benefits – How is It Calculated

In the Unemployment Insurance Law No. 4447, the conditions for qualifying for unemployment Insurance and the amounts that can be received are regulated. 49 of the Law. As mentioned in the article, the unemployment insurance premium is taken as 1% of the gross monthly earnings based on the premium, 2% of the insured, the employer and 1% of the State Share. However, the state share is not taken from the optional insured, only 1% is paid by the employer, while 2% is insured.
In general, there should be 3 conditions to benefit from unemployment benefits. The first of them;
It is required that Unemployment Insurance contributions have been paid for a total of at least 600 days in the last three years, continuously within the last 120 days before the termination of the Service Contract.

According to this article, an employee whose service contract has been terminated or who has been forced to terminate his employment contract for a justified reason must work continuously and continuously for 4 months before the service contract expires. Another condition listed in the same article is that Unemployment Insurance Contributions must be paid for at least 600 days within the last 3 years before the termination of the service contract. The importance of how many days the employee whose service contract has ended has paid a premium in the last 3 years shows itself in determining how many months of salary he will receive.

There should be no Own Desire and Fault in the termination of the Service Contract.

In order to be eligible for unemployment insurance, the employee must not have a defect. 25 of the Employer Labor Code. If there are reasons that may terminate the employment contract in accordance with the article, the employee will not be entitled to unemployment benefits. In addition, if the employee terminates the employment contract without putting forward any reason or finding any justifiable reason (resignation), the employee will not be entitled to receive an unemployment pension. Unemployment benefit is paid if the employer terminates (dismisses) the employment contract without specifying any reason and if the employee is forced to terminate the employment contract for a justified reason. However, in practice, there are problems in the employee’s ability to receive an unemployment pension in case of termination for a justified reason. The employer of the termination of your employment for any reason, without notice to the end hundreds of departure from work in the event if she reported the matter out in the declaration, the worker, the worker’s drying time and for the right reason while on the dole apply if you terminate your employment, justification is not accepted by the institution concerned and the existence of most of the time of employment was terminated for good cause on whether the court order is required.

He must apply to the institution within 30 days from the end of the Service Agreement.

The employee who meets both conditions can apply for Unemployment pension by personally applying to the institution and stating that they are ready to work in a new job. the 30-day period is not covered by the entitlement reduction period. In other words, if 30 days have passed after the termination of the service contract, the employee can still apply to IŞKUR, which is the relevant Institution. However, the allowance he will receive for every day that exceeds 30 days will also decrease. For example, if an employee has applied to Işkur 45 days after the termination of the employment contract, it means that he will receive 15 days of missing allowance from the allowance he should receive.

HOW IS UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFIT CALCULATED?
It is necessary to know the employee’s gross salary for the last 4 months and the unemployment premium he has paid in the last 3 years about how to calculate the unemployment benefit. We have stated that if the employee has paid premiums for less than 600 days in the last 3 years, he will not be eligible for Unemployment Benefits. If the employee has paid a Premium for 600 days in the last 3 years, the employee will be paid unemployment benefits for 180 days (6 Months). if there are 900 days, unemployment benefit will be paid to the employee for 240 days (8 Months) if he has worked for 1080 days, that is, for the whole of the last 3 years, unemployment benefit will be paid to the employee for 300 days (10 Months).

The amount to be paid is calculated by taking the average of the employee’s gross salary in the last 4 months of uninterrupted work. 40% of the average of the employee’s gross salary for the last 4 months is paid to the employee as unemployment benefits. The only deduction made from the payment paid in unemployment benefit is Stamp duty, and this rate is currently 0.759% and only this rate is deducted. However, another point to be considered is that no matter how high the employee’s salary is, the unemployment benefit he can receive cannot exceed 80% of the monthly minimum wage.
