Questão jurídica principal
Whether an unemployed insured person must personally seek work even during partial unemployment or while the employment relationship formally continues.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The duty to make personal efforts to find work applies in principle without exception, including in partial unemployment and when the employment relationship is not yet terminated.
Fundamentação extraída
Relying on Art. 23(2) AlVG, the court held that contact with the employment office or a professional association's placement service is not enough. Personal job search, including newspaper ads and direct applications to employers, is necessary and most promising.
