| Abstract/Citation: | Comprehensive legislation regarding the promotion of employment, vocational training, and employment services. Clarifies, extends and amends existing legislation regarding employment services, vocational training, training of disabled persons, unemployment benefit, assistance during transition between unemployment and employment, and suppression of illegal employment of foreigners. New provisions include training programmes on how to successfully job-search, and a recruitment grant for new businesses. Also provides for an insertion contract, which allows employers to hire an unemployed person for a limited duration during which he or she may be dismissed without justification. Part I forms Book Three of the Social Code (Sozialgesetzbuch). |
