200 SAS employees get no unemployment benefits

Be made redundant and receive salary during the notice period or take leave with daily subsistence allowance for up to two years.

It was, according to the branchemediet Check-in.the choice, as many of the staff in SAS Denmark recently been faced with in connection with the fyringsrunden that cost button 1600 the job.

Some chose the leave, but it has now made 200 Swedish employees in an unforeseen economic kattepine. The centre for Complaints on Unemployment insurance (CKA) has rejected, that they may receive unemployment benefits.

According to the authority, the UNION's rules for cross-border workers in the way that they can receive unemployment benefits in Denmark, when they are not resident in the country. And it does not change the decision, to all members of the Danish a-box FTFa.

instead, They must seek financial support in Sweden, but here it is not possible to receive unemployment benefits during a leave of absence, writes Check-in.dk.

In the a-box FTFa is disagreement in the CKA's decision, as you call 'unfair'.

- We are very surprised and disappointed by the decision, which affects the members unreasonably hard, says legal officer of the FTFa, Lars Toft Simonsen, to Check-in.dk and continues:

After being sent on leave for up to two years without salary from the SAS, they now find that they can't get anything from the a-box, as they have paid for in Denmark – although they still have a contract with SAS. It is, we think, is completely unfair.

FTFa will now, together with the trade union for the country's kabinemedarbejdere and Danish A-Boxes take up the matter with the minister for employment Peter Hummelgaard (S).
