I. Conditions of Entitlement
Only salaried persons pay a compulsory social security contribution granting an entitlement to unemployment benefit.
The rate of this contribution for the employee is 2.4%. Those over 65 of years of age but retaining employment also pay this contribution.
Accordingly, business owners are not eligible for unemployment benefit, although it is possible to take out private (expensive) insurance.
If you lose your job you do not automatically have a right to unemployment benefit.
