CERN Unemployment Insurance Scheme
The purpose of the CERN unemployment insurance scheme is to protect staff members against the financial consequences of unemployment.

A staff member is entitled to these benefits only if he has held a STAFF MEMBER contract for a continuous period of at least six months and finds himself involuntarily without employment. Further information is available on the CERN Unemployment Insurance Scheme Website
.
 
Loss of salary
Staff Regulations stipulates that in any period of 36 months Staff Members are entitled to 12 months’ sick leave on full pay, followed by 18 months’ sick leave on two-thirds pay.

If you join the Staff Association, it offers you the possibility of taking out supplementary insurance covering the remaining third of your salary after 12 months of sick leave and your whole salary from the 30th to the 36th month.


UNIQA provides the Staff Members with the possibility of being insured against the loss of salary in case of prolonged sick leave due to a non-professional accident or illness.
