• a salary statement / payslip (palkkalaskelma) of all salaries paid during the application period
• the tax decision of your latest confirmed personal taxation, if you or a member of your family has a business or income from agriculture of forestry during your period of unemployment.

Due to lay-off the following attachments are also needed for the first application:
