Fund administration
The supreme authority in our organization is exercised by the Meeting of the Unemployment Fund. We will summon all our members to the meeting annually.
The Board of Directors include eight members and eight substitutes. The Board convenes about six times a year.
Statistics
We pay our members earnings-related allowance, job alternation compensation, mobility allowance andrestructuring protection allowance . On the statistisc page, you can find information about the benefits paid and applications received.
We collect the most important numbers from the previous month into the Monthly statistics summary.
In the larger monthly statistics reports, on the other hand, you will find more comprehensive information not only from the last month, but also comparative data from previous months. These reports are only available in Finnish.
