Quit his job and hit the unemployment, a dream about to come true for all from the 1st of November ? Not so simple.

Touch a unemployment benefit when one has resigned… employees, seduced by the promise of campaign of Emmanuel Macron had to gnaw their brakes, as they have been waiting for. Created by the act, “professional Future”, 5 September 2018, the measure has not been specified by decree at the end of July. It enters into force on 1 November 2019. An opportunity for “those who dream of doing something else, who are suffering or have a project of creation of company”, boasts the ministry of Labour.

Finally !, do you think, your resignation letter is ready to be filed in the office of the director of human resources. Not so fast ! “There’s no need to resign immediately !”, warned on several occasions by the minister of Labour, Muriel Pénicaud, on France Inter on Monday. And for good reason, all of the resigning members will not be entitled to unemployment. The route to follow is strictly framed by the law and different conditions are met. No question of voluntarily leave his post and go and knock on the door of the job center without being prepared, you may get a no-go.

strict requirements

There are already several situations to get unemployment insurance in the case of resignation. To qualify for this new law, you must first have a project of professional retraining, requiring the monitoring of training or creation or resumption of business. But this is not all. We need to justify 1300 days worked during the 60 months preceding the resignation. In other words: having worked for five years without interruption for the past five years. The contract of work could be full-time or part-time in one or several employers. But it must not have occurred more than two days interruption between two contracts.

deadlines

The approach is also framed in the time : you have to register with the employment agency no later than six months after you have completed your project and twelve months after you have asked for your resignation.

You have checked all of the boxes ? Not you rest on your laurels : at the latest, six months after the opening of the rights, Pôle emploi will check the reality of your project. If you can’t justify – without a legitimate reason for its implementation, the replacement income is removed for four months and you will be removed from the list of job seekers for four months. But this will be, again, a case-by-case basis. If you do not get the funding for the training that you had chosen, but have knocked on all the doors of the financiers, you keep your benefits. “No obligation of result, what matters is the project,” says the ministry.
