JOBSEEKERS WILL BE ABLE TO REGISTER AT AN EMPLOYMENT OFFICE WITHOUT THE NEED FOR AN ON-SITE VISIT

This can be done electronically in accordance with the Law on Electronic Government, through a licensed postal operator or in another appropriate way, published on the website of the Employment Agency.

In case of on-site registration, it can be done at any employment office, regardless of the person's permanent or current address.

This is foreseen by the adopted changes in the Regulations for the implementation of the Employment Promotion Act. The unemployed will be provided with information, counseling, referral services for independent job search or registration in a territorial division of the Employment Agency.

The main objectives are the easing of the administrative procedure for registration in the labor office of jobseekers, the regulation of activities to promote the employment of economically inactive people and the determination of the terms and conditions for financing procedures for validating professional knowledge, skills and competences for the unemployed.

The new regulations reduce the administrative burden for employers applying for employment and training incentives.

To facilitate access to the labor market, labor brokers will guide the unemployed to validate their professional knowledge, skills and competencies. The Employment Agency will publish on its website a list of the institutions that have the right to carry out this validation procedure. The unemployed who wish to join it will submit an application form at the labor offices. For participating in the validation procedure, they will receive funds for a scholarship, transport and accommodation expenses.
