The issue could take one to two months to fully resolve, although not all affected cases are complete or eligible for unemployment payments, Spautz told a meeting of parliament’s labour committee, describing the situation as “unacceptable.”The problem came up during a meeting dedicated the National Action Plan for Preventing and Combating Poverty, where Spautz presented employment-related measures.
