Ending registration at the labour office

Guide to ending registration at the labour office

1. 1

   Removal from registration by the Labour Office

   The labour office will remove you from the register on the day you:

   • start a job or start a business,
   • resume suspended business activity,
   • start full-time study,
   • start serving a prison sentence or are taken into custody,
   • start receiving an old-age pension or reach retirement age (if you receive a disability pension),
   • have a child born who is living,
   • leave for another EU country for more than 15 days (if you are not looking for work there or receiving treatment),
   • start working abroad,
   • conclude an agreement for work outside an employment relationship or start another gainful activity,
   • have your employment relationship finally restored by a court,
   • are found to have provided false information in your application,
   • stop meeting the registration conditions (for example you exceed 40 days of work under an agreement or the subsistence minimum amount),
   • lose asylum, subsidiary protection, or residence status (if you are a third-country national or a family member of an EU citizen),
   • lose your Blue Card,
   • receive a work permit abroad,
   • die.

   You need to report these facts to the office in time and support them with documents – an employment contract, trade licence, confirmation of enrolment in studies, etc.

2. 2

   Removal from the register for non-cooperation

   The labour office will also remove you from the register if you do not cooperate.

   Non-cooperation is considered to include, for example, if you:

   • refuse a suitable job offer without a serious reason,
   • refuse to participate in the office’s employment support activities,
   • prematurely end participation in these activities without a serious reason,
   • fail to prove active job searching,
   • fail to attend an agreed meeting,
   • fail to submit the required documents on time,
   • breach the treatment regime during temporary incapacity for work (sick leave),
   • fail to fulfil other obligations under the law,
   • perform illegal work.
