Contact for financial matters

As the public unemployment insurance fund of the Canton of Zurich, we support those affected by loss of earnings in financial matters, offer them advice on all aspects of unemployment insurance and thus enable them to concentrate fully on their job search.

With our services for employers, we help to reduce unemployment by paying out compensation for work lost due to economic or weather-related reasons, thereby ensuring that jobs are maintained.
