Bad weather compensation scheme

Employees in the business sector in which weather-related absences from work are common, are entitled to bad weather compensation under certain conditions.

The cantonal office will check the company's eligibility requirements. At the same time, you select the unemployment  fund responsible for you. The public unemployment fund (OeAK) or another unemployment fund of your choice will calculate and pay the benefits.
