To reduce the risk of infection with the coronavirus COVID-19, ADEM offers its services from now on exclusively by phone or e-mail.

The European Commission is conducting a public consultation on the EURES network. The consultation is addressed to all citizens and organisations concerned by cross-border worker mobility. Participation in the survey is open in the 24 EU languages until 23 June 2020.

The number of available resident jobseekers registered with ADEM was 20,253 on 30 April 2020. Over one year, this represents an increase of 4,800 people, i.e. 31.1%. The unemployment rate, adjusted for seasonal variations, calculated by STATEC, is 6.9%.

ADEM informs companies that the following deadlines and procedures have been agreed for applications for short-time working due to force majeure Covid-19.

The Employment Agency (ADEM) informs that companies must submit their applications for short-time work for the month of April via My Guichet by 15 May 2020 at the latest.

During the current COVID-19 crisis, companies that offer relevant services can pay bonuses for their employees to thank them for their special commitment. For employees in professional redeployment, bonus payments must be specially marked.

The number of available resident jobseekers registered with ADEM was 18,398 on 31 March 2020. Over one year, this represents an increase of 2 728 people, i.e. 17.4%. The unemployment rate, adjusted for seasonal variations, calculated by STATEC, is 6.1%.

Due to the extraordinary situation on the labour market triggered by the COVID-19 health crisis, jobseekers registered with ADEM may currently face difficulties in finding a new job. For this reason, the entitlement to unemployment benefit is extended for the duration of the crisis. This applies both to the duration of the regular employment benefit and to any extension period.
