The TE office will check your right to the earnings related allowance.
When working on a grant, your entitlement to an earnings-related daily allowance depends on whether the TE Office considers the grant work to be full-time or part-time. The TE Office issues a statement on the matter to the unemployment fund.
If you are working on a grant, notify the TE Office immediately. However, a grant of up to two weeks does not need to be declared.

If, after the TE Office's investigation, the grant work is considered to be full-time, you cannot be paid an earnings-related allowance. If the grant work has been found to be part-time, you can receive an earnings-related daily allowance despite the grant.
When you start working on grants while unemployed, the TE Office does not assess its nature as full-time or part-time employment during the first four months. During this period, you can receive a daily allowance.
The TE Office examines the main and part-time nature of your grant work after four months of grant work. Your entitlement to an earnings-related daily allowance is determined on the basis of a statement by the TE Office. You can be granted a four-month period (the "unexamined period") again if you also meet your employment condition again.
The effect of the grant on the amount of your earnings-related allowance depends on whether the grant you receive is taxable or tax-free. A taxable grant is adjustable income, in which case the grant reduces the amount of your earnings-related daily allowance, while a tax-free grant does not affect the amount of your earnings-related daily allowance.
Always notify the TE Office of the start and end of grant work and any changes related to it as soon as possible. In this case, you will also speed up the processing of your application in the fund.
Inform us of the start of the grant work and its total duration, for example, in the additional information in the daily allowance application. This does not need to be reported in the application as employment or as working days; a free text description in the additional information is sufficient. In addition, please provide us with a copy of the grant decision.
Grant work does not accrue your employment condition. If you work in paid employment in addition to the grant, it will normally accrue the employment condition.
