The Open Unemployment Fund’s (A-kassa) membership fee will stay at 8 euros per month in 2024. This means that there will be no changes to the amount of the fee.
The Financial Supervisory Authority approved the proposal of the Open Unemployment Fund’s board of directors that the membership fee will be 8 euros a month (96 euros a year) also next year.
The A-kassa is a multidisciplinary unemployment fund that can be joined by any wage earner. Indeed, many trade unions insure their members against unemployment through the A-kassa, in which case the collection and settlement of membership fees are handled through the union.
There are currently ten trade unions cooperating with the A-kassa: The Industrial Union, Finnish Construction Trade Union, Union of Journalists in Finland, Finnish Actors Union, Musicians’ Union, Trade Union for Theatre and Media Finland, Finnish Transport Workers’ Union AKT, The Finnish Post and Logistics Union PAU, The Finnish Seafarers´ Union FSU and Ay-toimihenkilöt.
At the beginning of 2024, the Finnish Food Workers’ Unemployment Fund will merge into the A-kassa, when also the Finnish Food Workers’ Union start cooperation by insuring their members through the A-kassa.
