WW Obligations in Tilburg: What Must You Do to Retain Your Benefit?
In Tilburg, at the UWV office on Lovenslaglaan, during a WW benefit you are required to actively seek work via local job sites such as Werk.nl and Werkplein Tilburg. Keep the UWV informed of your situation to avoid sanctions, such as deductions or termination. This article discusses obligations, tips for job seekers in Tilburg and common mistakes in the region.
The Job Application Obligation in Tilburg
You must carry out at least 4 job application actions per month, targeting vacancies in Tilburg and surrounding municipalities such as Waalwijk or Breda, and register these in the UWV app or website. Retain proof such as emails or rejection letters from companies like ASML or local retailers. The UWV checks via random sampling and collaborations with Team Werk of the municipality of Tilburg.
Weekly Reporting from Tilburg
Every 4 weeks you must submit a progress report via 'Mijn UWV'. Report whether you worked for a Tilburg company, were ill or had other income, for example from part-time work in hospitality on Heuvelstraat. Failure to report results in a wage sanction, which weighs heavily in a region with high youth unemployment.
Acceptance of Suitable Work in the Region
Accepting suitable work is mandatory. In the first 3 months: work with at least 90% of your former salary, such as in logistics around the Tilburg Havengebied. Thereafter the requirements decrease. Refusing jobs from local employers can lead to sanctions up to 100% deduction.
Sanctions and Objection in Tilburg
In case of violation you receive a warning or sanction from UWV Tilburg. Lodge an objection within 4 weeks; seek free legal assistance via the Juridisch Loket at Korvelplein or a Tilburg lawyer for support. (312 words)
