Description

If your company has to permanently cut jobs, for example if a department has to be closed for economic reasons, you may be entitled to transfer short-time allowance. The employees affected by the permanent loss of work are grouped together in a company organizational unit. You can receive transfer short-time allowance for these employees.

As the employer or transfer company, you apply for, pay and settle the transfer short-time allowance. This means that you initially pay the wages and salaries of your employees in advance. Your employees do not have to do anything.

The transfer short-time allowance is settled monthly in arrears with the Federal Employment Agency at the payroll office and paid to you retroactively.

The amount of the transfer short-time allowance depends on the respective income of your employees:

• 60 percent of the net lost wages for employees without a child in the household
• 67 percent of the lost net wage for employees with at least one child in the household.

You will receive the transfer short-time allowance

• at the earliest from the calendar month in which the notification of the loss of work was received by the Employment Agency, and
• for a maximum of 12 months.

However, you cannot receive transfer short-time allowance at the same time as short-time allowance or seasonal short-time allowance.

Before you can receive transfer short-time allowance, you may be eligible for support for participation in a transfer measure. It makes sense to coordinate transfer short-time allowance and support for transfer measures. Ask your employment agency for advice on this.

Prerequisites

Minimum requirements:

• In order to receive transfer short-time allowance, you must first complete transfer counseling with the Employment Agency.

• You support your employees with suitable placement proposals and qualification measures.

Personal requirements:

• Your employees are at risk of unemployment and have registered as jobseekers.

• Your employees are not excluded from receiving short-time allowance.
• Your employees have usually already participated in a measure to determine their integration prospects, such as a job application seminar or further qualification.

Procedure

You can apply for transfer short-time allowance in writing and online. The procedure is multi-step. First, you contact your employment agency for a transfer consultation. Then you indicate the loss of work, then you submit the application.

• You take up a transfer consultation with your employment agency.
• You conclude a social plan reconciliation of interests.
• You announce to your employees the transfer to a transfer company and the receipt of transfer short-time allowance. A works agreement is often concluded with the works council for this purpose. If there is no works council, you must obtain the consent of all employees who will be affected.
• You report your loss of jobs in writing to your employment agency (form: Notification of loss of work in a unit that is independent of the company organization).
• The Employment Agency will examine the notification and decide whether transfer short-time allowance can be granted.
• They calculate the wage and salary payments and the transfer short-time allowance on a monthly basis.
• You pay the transfer short-time allowance to your employees and pay the social security contributions.
• You apply retroactively each month for reimbursement of the transfer short-time allowance at your employment agency office (application for transfer short-time allowance and payroll list).
• The Employment Agency will check the application and the settlement list, and approved transfer short-time allowance will be transferred. You will receive written notification of this.
• Your settled reference periods will be finally checked after the end of your receipt of transfer short-time allowance.

If you want to apply for transfer short-time allowance online:

• You submit the notice of loss of work, the application for transfer short-time allowance and, if applicable, other documents via the UploadService. "Transferkurzarbeitergeld" of the Federal Employment Agency.
