About this service
Description
A work try-out may be suitable for you if you are considering your own field or want to find out whether a field is suitable for you. A work try-out is also an option if you have been outside of employment for a long period. During the work try-out, you will participate in general work at the workplace. A work try-out is not an employment relationship, and it does not create expenses for the employer.
Agree on the duration and working hours of the work try-out together with the employment authority in your region and the employer. The maximum duration of a work try-out is six months.
During the work try-out, you will receive the same unemployment security as if you were unemployed. If you have agreed to a work try-out in your employment plan or a plan replacing it, your unemployment security can be increased. This will be decided by the party paying the unemployment benefit – that is, by the unemployment fund or Kela.
If the costs of participating in the work try-out are incurred, you can receive expense allowance for the days of participation. If you do not receive expense allowance from the payer of the unemployment benefit, that is, an unemployment fund or Kela, the employment authority can pay a discretionary expense allowance.
How to use it
You can participate in a work try-out if:
* you are registered as a job seeker
* the work try-out is included in your employment plan
* the employment services consider that a work try-out is the best way to support your employment.
You will agree with the employment services in your employment plan whether you will find the work try-out placement yourself or need assistance in finding a placement.
The work try-out can be organised by a company, a private entrepreneur, a municipality, a municipality, another organization, a foundation or a government agency or institution. An individual person cannot act as the organizer of a work try-out. You cannot participate in a work try-out at a workplace where you are already employed.
Conditions
Contact the employment authority in your region and ask if you can participate in a work try-out.
