Unemployment insurance opened to employees who resign to pursue a career-change project

Provided for by the law of 5 September 2018 on the freedom to choose one's professional future, access to the return-to-work allowance for employees who resign to pursue a career-change project is implemented by the decree on the unemployment insurance scheme. The employee must show at least 1,300 days worked over the previous 60 months and a project requiring training or the creation or takeover of a business, whose genuine and serious nature is certified by a regional joint committee.
