Summer is a busy time on the labour market. Many people get employed for the season, but at the same time, many fixed-term employment contracts end at the beginning of summer. This is probably most common in the education sector, with educational institutions closing their doors at the end of the school year. How does unemployment security work in this situation? When can I apply for earnings-related daily allowance? What do I need to take into account?

Fortunately, the checklist for unemployment security is short and simple:

1. Register as a job seeker no later than on the first day of unemployment (tyomarkkinatori.fi -> e-services of the TE Services)
2. After two weeks, submit your first application for earnings-related daily allowance in the OmaYTK service

Accidents occur especially on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and the knees are particularly prone to injuries, according to LocalTapiola's statistics. Fortunately, YTK Working Life's leisure time insurance covers both treatment costs and disability compensations.

Remember that the full benefits of the legal service and insurance cover are only unlocked after six months of combined membership, so if you are not already a member of YTK Worklife, now is the time to join!
