In certain cases, as an employer, you are required to pay unemployment days (G-days) to an employee in connection with their termination. The payment is a special compensation for the first days of unemployment following termination, provided the employee is a member of an unemployment insurance fund (A-kasse) and other conditions are met.
You can find the current G-day rates here.
💡 TIP: Remember to terminate the employee in the system
If not, it’s important to do so before the final salary is paid out, so any outstanding amounts are automatically settled correctly.
