The law on unemployment benefits will come into effect on December 1st, the National Social Security Fund announced. It will be financed by the employer at a rate of 0.38% of the declared salary, up to the current ceiling, and 0.19% by the employee.
From December 1, 2014, unemployment benefits (IPE) will be paid, according to the National Social Security Fund (CNSS). According to the legislative and regulatory provisions, the contribution for the IPE will be calculated at a rate of 0.57% of the declared salary, up to the current ceiling. The employee will pay 0.19% of the salary, capped at 6,000 DH, and the employer will pay 0.38%. For its contribution, the State has set up a fund of 500 million dirhams spread over three years.
An employee who loses their job will receive 70% of their average salary over the last 36 months, capped at the minimum wage. The benefit will be paid for six months after job loss.
To allow companies affiliated with the CNSS to pay this additional contribution, the fund has made a change to the payment slip for contributions of the general scheme, regarding the contribution rate corresponding to social benefits. It is now 13.46% instead of the previous 12.89%.
However, unemployment benefits do not apply to all employees. To benefit from it, you must be registered with ANAPEC (National Agency for the Promotion of Employment and Skills) and have lost your job involuntarily, among other things.
Similarly, the employee must prove that they have worked 780 days during the three years preceding the date of job loss, including 260 days worked during the last year, etc.
Unemployment benefits are accompanied by certain benefits such as family allowance.
