FAO Max Endurance
Apologies to others in the 2003 SR-LX bomb lobbing competition - makes the bitter stories I was told years after the BOAC-BEA merger seem tame in comparison - I can't send Max a private e-mail. So I have to put this here:
I did ask around and no one knew for sure, but the base feeling was that if you pay Swiss taxes, you get Swiss unemployment benefit. If you don't you won't. Einfach.
On my old Swissair payslip it said "UI Contribution 1.5%" which is now "Unemployment Insurance 1.25%" on the slip from the cowboys I presently work for. I presume you don't pay that as you reside in the EU?
Do check it out locally and wish you all the best. Cheers
