European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
Eurofound's ERM database on restructuring-related legal regulations provides information on regulations in the Member States of the European Union and Norway which are explicitly or implicitly linked to anticipating and managing change.
Article 34.2 (d) of the Social Insurance Law, 2010 (Law 59(I)/2010)
An unemployed person, who rejects or omits without a justifiable reason to undertake vocational training on the instruction of the Director of the Social Insurance Services may be deprived of his/her right to receive unemployment benefit for a period of up to six weeks.
This provision of the Social Insurance Law gives the right to the director of the Social Insurance Services to offer to unemployed persons training programmes. The unemployment benefit is then payable to the unemployed as training benefit. This provision of the law was massively used during the economic and financial crisis, in particular during the "dead season" of the tourism sector in the winter 2013-2014.
No legislation nor collective agreement obliging workers in employment to participate in training offered by the employer could be identified.
