Unemployment benefits and probationary period: Everything you need to know

Questioner

Since January I have been receiving unemployment benefits based on 40 hours, because applying for jobs in my field has not yet resulted in a job, I am now going to work part-time in the hospitality industry. I will receive a contract for 24 hours per week for 7 months with a trial period of one month. Suppose I find a full-time job in my field during the trial period, can I stop without any problems? Or will my unemployment benefits be at risk?

Lawyer

During your trial period, you can always immediately switch to another job. A trial period that has been validly agreed upon entitles both the employer and the employee to terminate the employment contract immediately.
