To minimise impact of this challenge, unemployment benefits were released to employees whilst still at work and simultaneously skills of employees were being upgraded so as to re-integrate them (employees) back into the labour market. To address the challenge of skills shortage, post secondary school learners would be submitted for training to a particular employer. After the training, the employer would determine whether or not to employ the trainee permanently. For the purposes of re-integrating employees into labour market, the employer is responsible for further training of employees. There is a special training offered to disabled person in order to integrate them into the labour market. The contributions to the unemployment insurance are self administered. The Government has no control over the manner within which unemployment benefits should be managed. There is a board responsible for determining distribution of social benefits. The legal framework in Germany is not formulated in consultation with the social partners but by Parliament. Social benefits are determined in terms of the stipulation of the law.
