The purpose of the unemployment insurance fund is to manage the unemployment insurance and pay unemployment benefits. There are several different unemployment insurance funds specialised in different industry and professional areas. Many unemployment insurance funds cooperate closely with the trade unions, but are nonetheless independent of them. It is important to know that unions and unemployment insurance funds are two different organisations and if you join one, you do not automatically become a member of the other. To become a member of both, you need to fill out two different applications.
Unemployment insurance funds are managed and controlled by public authorities. Anyone employed in the financial and insurance industry can join the Financial and Insurance Employees'
