If You Become Unemployed, Remember These 5 Things

2. Make sure you receive everything you are entitled to
Do you know how to apply for earnings-related unemployment allowance, or when you should submit your application? Are you eligible for a discounted membership fee?
We have compiled practical guidance for our members in eLounge, and our lawyers are available to provide advice every weekday.
3. Make sure your employment certificate and final salary are in order
When your employment ends, there is more to check than just your last working day.
