The employment authorities provide both employers and personal customers with free-of-charge and impartial advice, information, guidance and human support in change situations. The employment authorities work in close cooperation in the areas to manage change situations.

The employment authorities have to provide employers with employment services irrespective of their domicile or place of business. The same also applies to the transition security service.

Notifying the employment authorities of change situations

As an employer, you may have a statutory obligation to notify the employment authorities of change situations as well as other service requirements pertaining to reduction situations. In the first instance, you should contact the employment authority of your organisation's place of domicile. Please contact your local employment authority by phone or email or visit their offices. After that, you can continue to manage your affairs using your preferred method.
