Does the income register seem complicated? Read our tips!
We regularly receive feedback from our customers that they find it complicated to use the register when applying for daily allowance. The person who is most often confused about the use of the register is a part-time worker who is applying for an adjusted daily allowance with a follow-up application. Many people are also confused about the inclusion of holiday pay in the register.
Read our service developer Janica Nieminen's tips on the most common situations where the use of the Incomes Register can be confusing. Here are some tips on how to make it easier to use the register as part of your daily allowance claim.
Are you starting your studies?
You can also study on unemployment benefit. While the primary support for studying is always study allowance, there are also many opportunities built into unemployment benefit to use your unemployment time for studying. Always contact the TE Service first and make an agreement with the employment office about your studies.
Will you continue working as a teacher?
You do not have to notify the unemployment fund separately if you continue to work after the summer break. If you continue to work part-time, remember to apply for earnings-related allowance. If you work up to 80% of the working time of a full-time worker, you can claim an earnings-related allowance. The earnings-related allowance is reduced by the amount of wages paid, but the combination of wages and earnings-related allowance is more than just wages for part-time work. If you plan to apply for earnings-related daily allowance, remember to keep your job application valid with the TE services.
Is OmaYTK saying that your job application is not valid? Do this!
Have you ever been told by OmaYTK that we can't pay your daily allowance when everything should be in order? It could be that your TE statement has not been received. If this happens, you now have an easy way to order the necessary statement directly from OmaYTK.
