Labor offices cut the need for the unemployed to sign-on every month

The Labor Ministry intends to abolish the need for the registered unemployed to make a monthly visit to the unemployment office, but at the same time allow them to keep their rights to unemployment benefit. "It makes no sense for crowds of people to fill in unnecessary forms," said deputy labor minister Andrzej Zdebski. Currently, those who are unemployed and do not have the right to unemployment benefit visit the labor office on set dates to confirm their readiness to take a job, as well as to sign a declaration that they are not earning any money. Some 80% of the unemployed receive no unemployment benefits. They come to the labor office just to have the right to free medical care. The directors of labor offices are in favor of the idea.
