About us
As the Unemployment Insurance Fund Office of the Canton of Zug, we are the go-to point for all financial matters related to unemployment. Within the framework of the Unemployment Insurance Act (AVIG), we check the eligibility requirements of insured persons for unemployment compensation and other cantonal benefits, and are responsible for making monthly payments. We provide benefits such as unemployment pay, insolvency compensation, bad weather compensation, reduced working compensation, and training and induction allowances. We are also involved in providing cantonal benefits such as unemployment benefits and maternity contributions. Furthermore, we are your go-to point for preparing PD U1 forms for people who are resident in an EU or EFTA country.
We offer professional services as well as customer support, and our qualified employees are available for consultations by phone or in person.
