The integration agreement

  1. The integration agreement is a contract between an unemployed person and the employment agency or a municipality.
  2. Its purpose is to make it easier to escape unemployment.
  3. Violations of the integration agreement result in sanctions, in particular reductions in benefits.
  4. There is no obligation for the unemployed person to conclude an integration agreement.
Anyone who loses their job and becomes unemployed or has always been unemployed is entitled to unemployment benefit or Hartz IV, depending on the case. In both cases, the law stipulates that the unemployed person should conclude an integration agreement.

What is an integration agreement?

The integration agreement is a so-called public law contract that a so-called option municipality or the Federal Employment Agency concludes with the unemployed person. Option municipalities are municipalities that are responsible for the services according to the SGB and are responsible for the job centers. Whether in the job center or at the Federal Employment Agency: As with any contract, the unemployed can also negotiate. He can try to get more benefits and negotiate fewer obligations. It is also important to put forward arguments here.

What is the purpose of an integration agreement?

The purpose of the integration agreement is to give the unemployed person better chances of returning to work. Different services can be the subject of the integration agreement: They can in particular include services for further vocational training, the care of underage or disabled children or home care for relatives, debt advice, psychosocial support or addiction advice. This agreement usually also imposes obligations on the unemployed: for example, to take up work opportunities that are offered or to take part in extra-company training measures.

What happens if I violate the integration agreement?

If the unemployed person concludes an integration agreement, then he is also obliged to adhere to the agreements made therein. If he does not comply, the agency or the job center can impose sanctions if the unemployed person cannot excuse the violations, for example due to illness: This is usually how benefits are reduced - the unemployed person then receives less money, for example.

If you are accused of such violations, it is best to arrange a meeting with our office immediately.

Does the unemployed person have to conclude an integration agreement?

According to the current legal situation (as of 2018), unemployed people are no longer obliged to conclude an integration agreement. If the unemployed refuse and are not willing to negotiate, the agency or job center may not impose or threaten sanctions against them. You can only “threaten” the unemployed person to enforce the integration agreement through an administrative act. However, such an administrative act can be challenged and ultimately legal recourse is to the social courts.
