Unemployment fund receives salary information from the Incomes Register, but as the information is not reported for the use of unemployment funds only, we recommed that you attach to your application a salary statement of your pre-leave income.
Read more about the information available on the Incomes Register.

The attachments needed are:

• a copy of the agreement that you made with your employer (vuorottelusopimus)
• a salary statement (palkkatodistus) for at least 52 weeks (12 months).  The statement must be written for full pay periods prior to your leave. If you have had unpaid absences or done part-time work (working time less than 75 per cent of the maximum working hours) during the 13 months prior to your leave, these periods must be mentioned in the statement.
• a statement of any salary, business income and /or social benefits that you get during your job alternation leave.

You can send the necessary documents via WebKassa on-line-service.

If you or your family member have a business or are self-employed or own a farm or forest, attach to your application the tax decision of your latest confirmed personal taxation (all pages).

Notify TE Office of your business and/or ownership of a farm or forest. The TE Office will evaluate how extensive your business activity is and whether or not it affects your right to alternation compentation. The fund can not make a decision about the alternation compentation before TE Office has given its evaluation.

The fund normally receives automatically the tax card that is valid from 1.2. onward. This tax card is always written for salary, so at least 25 per cent of tax must always be withheld. If you order a revised tax card it should be calculated for benefits (not salary).
