Eligibility for Unemployment Compensation

Gjorgi Isaevski, the Founder and Lead Attorney of Isaevski Law authored an article published on 24HR addressing one of the most sensitive issues employees face – termination of employment and the right to financial compensation.

The article focuses on the legal framework governing unemployment benefits in the Republic of North Macedonia and aims to clarify when employees are entitled to compensation after losing their job, as well as when such rights do not apply.

Losing employment often brings legal uncertainty, and many individuals are unaware that their entitlement depends not only on unemployment itself, but also on how the employment relationship was terminated.

The article provides practical guidance on:

When employees are entitled to unemployment benefits under applicable legislation
The legal conditions that must be met to qualify for compensation
Situations in which financial compensation is not granted
Common misconceptions that lead employees to lose their rights
The importance of timely action and proper legal assessment after termination

By translating legal provisions into clear and accessible language, the article aims to empower employees to better understand their rights and obligations, while also offering valuable insight for employers and HR professionals dealing with workforce changes.

This contribution reflects Isaevski Law’s commitment to providing practical, legally grounded guidance on employment and labor matters, helping individuals and organizations navigate complex employment situations with clarity and confidence.
