TRR is here to help you.

The sooner you begin, the sooner you can start a new job

OUR EXPERIENCE is that one should strike while the iron is hot. So the best thing is that your job search process starts as soon as pos-sible - during the redundancy notice period. The longer you are out of work the harder it is to get a new job. Therefore, usually, our ad-visors recommend that you actively start now, working to resolve your situation.

You and your employer apply togetherTo get TRR’s advice, support and guidance and AGE, our supplementary income protec-tion, then both you and your employer must submit applications to us. The application form is digital and you’ll find it on our website www.trr.se. On your personal or the company’s initi-ative, send your application in as soon as you know you will have to leave your employment.

The application certifies the reason for you lea-ving your company is due to redundancy. The application is also grounds for the calculation of your AGE benefit and whether you are eli-gible for it during a period of unemployment.

After ProtectionIf you end up being dismissed again due to redundancy at your new workplace, we have so called After Protection. That means you have the opportunity to reconnect with your TRR advisor.

After protection is valid for five years from the last date of employment. The condition is that any new termination is due to redundancy. Note that AGE protection is limited to two years.

If you become a Managing Director or self-employed, other rules apply, see our website www.trr.se where you can also read in more detail about what applies for continued protection.

If you get a new job, but, within 12 months feel compelled to resign for any reason from the new employment, you are entitled to return to TRR and your advisor. Keep in mind that we include your notice period in that 12-month period.

Our way works

TRR WORKS WITH what is called transition support. It means that we help businesses and above all their employees with advice, support and guidance in connection with reorganiza-tions and redundancy. The foundation of our business is based on an agreement between PTK and the Confederation of Swedish Enter-prise.

Since we started in 1974 we have helped around 500,000 people, turning a seemingly difficult situation into something more positive. We call it creating a force for change. By that we mean primarily our ability to help each individual to restart his or her professional ca-reers. And as you can see from the following, our optimism is justified:

• Approximately 500,000 people have received our support to move forward in their careers since TRR started in 1974.• 9 out of 10 of the most active job seekers we support find new jobs.• 9 out of 10 of those we serve proceed to an equivalent or better job.• 6-7 months is the average time to get a new job.

You get a personal advisorOur method takes into account your specific individual needs for transition support. May-be you’ve never charted your network, had to apply for a job, answered a job advert or written a CV? If you are thinking of starting your own business, you can, together with your advisor, discuss the conditions needed for success. The same applies if you need to supplement your skills with training courses.

TRR OnlineTRR Online is a website for anyone covered by our transition support. Here we provide tools and information, which together with the support from your advisor, facilitates the path towards a new job. TRR Online is a password-protected website where you get an account.

Conditions for getting redundancy supportTo get redundancy support, you should have been dismissed due to redundancy, or be at risk of becoming laid off for this reason.

Redundancy support can also be provided if you stopped your employment without being terminated, if it is clear that you stopped due to your employer’s advice and the lack of work.

A prerequisite for transition support is that you have been permanently employed and have worked at least 16 hours per week for one year at the company.

Money is important - you can get income protection

ALTHOUGH MANY get a new job before their employment ends, there can sometimes be a gap when switching from one job to another. Then it can be comforting to know about our supplemental income protection, AGE.

Conditions for getting AGE To get AGE you must have been made redundant. The basic requirements to get AGE are that you:• Have a monthly salary of at least 27,100 SEK.• Are 40 years of age on the last day of employment.• Have worked at least five years at compa-nies that are connected to TRR and have been made redundant.• Are a jobseeker and registered with the Employment Service.

How much AGE?AGE may reimburse you up to about 70 per cent of your previous salary including the compensation paid by the unemployment in-surance. Your AGE is based on the salary you have had in the job you were made redundant from. For part-time unemployment, you need to have lost at least 20 per cent of your working time to get AGE. The compensation period is different for different age groups.

ExemptionsThere are some exemptions and special AGE rules, which are extensive, so please read more on www.trr.se, in our AGE information brochure or contact your advisor.
