The unemployment benefits that are paid to people who do not have a job are intended to fulfill a double objective: on the one hand, to financially cover these citizens in the face of a lack of income and, on the other hand, to maintain a balance in which their reincorporation is encouraged to the labor market. Or what is the same, it is intended that unemployment or the different subsidies are not an objective in themselves, simply a temporary aid until the transition to a better economic stage.
That is why, when a citizen requests an unemployment benefit, one of the requirements that must be met is that of s. This commitment involves, among other things, the promise not to reject any of the suitable job offers that may reach the worker while he is receiving unemployment or a subsidy.
In these situations, the worker may wonder if he is obliged to accept any job offer that comes his way, but nothing is further from the truth, because the SEPE is in charge of establishing which offers are appropriate. They have to comply with the following:
-That it is from a profession according to that demanded by the worker.
-That it be the profession habitually carried out by the worker.
-That it is another profession that adjusts to the physical and formative aptitudes of the worker.
-Make it the last profession performed if you were in it for at least three months.
-In the event that the person receives an unemployment benefit for a year without interruption, the SEPE may consider any timely offer.
But not only that, the offer also has to adhere to certain conditions. If they are not met, suitable placement offers cannot be considered and may be rejected by the worker. These are:
-The salary cannot be less than the Minimum Interprofessional Salary (discounting travel expenses) and must correspond to the job offered.
-For the offer to be adequate, the job must be in the worker’s residence or a maximum of 30 kilometers, but provided that the displacement does not involve 25% of the working day or that it involves 20% of the monthly salary expense .
Penalties for not accepting a suitable job offer
If the job offer that the worker receives complies with all of the above, he or she is obliged to accept it. If the citizen does not accept that offer, he will incur a serious sanction and will suffer sanctions.
These sanctions result in the loss of benefits (either a subsidy or unemployment) for a specific period of time. In the event of rejecting an adequate placement offer, three months of benefit will be lost, but if a second one is rejected, the period increases to six months. If the worker rejects a third offer, he will lose the entire benefit.
However, it must be taken into account that the SEPE resets the sanction counter if none is incurred for a year. In other words, if a worker does not accept a job offer in January, he will suffer a penalty of three months of lost benefits. If he repeats this in February of the following year, he will not lose six months of benefit, he will lose three months again, since more than a year has passed since the first infraction.
