Many good reasons to become a combined member
With YTK’’s fund-only membership, you get income security. By choosing combined membership, you get comprehensive working life services on top of your income security!
Income security if you have no work
As a member of an unemployment fund, your income will be secure if you are unemployed, laid off, in part-time work, or part-time self-employed. We will also pay an alternation allowance if you go on job alternation leave and a mobility grant if you take on a new job far from home.
Legal Buddy legal service at your help in tricky situations
Sometimes in working life, there can be difficult situations in which you need the help of a lawyer. Perhaps you are scratching your head about the terms of your employment contract, chasing up unpaid wages, or looking for clarity at the end of an employment relationship. In these situations and many more, the Legal Buddy legal service is here to help.
Comprehensive insurance for your protection
As a combined YTK member, you can apply for compensation if you have an accident in your free time or need to bring a dispute about your employment to court. Remember to read the terms and conditions of insurance claims with care.

Frequently asked questions about membership
YTK Unemployment Fund is an open fund. This means that you can join us no matter what your profession is, what field you work in or what your education is. The prerequisite is that you are under 68 years of age and working at the time of joining. More detailed information on eligibility can be found here.
You can become a member of YTK Worklife at the same time as you join the fund, or you can upgrade your fund membership to a combined membership at any time later.
YTK fund membership only includes membership of the YTK Unemployment Fund, i.e. income security in case of unemployment. In addition to membership of an unemployment fund, combined membership also includes membership of YTK Worklife, through which you get useful services and savings for working life and leisure.
Switching unemployment funds is easy. Join us and authorize us when you join to handle the switch from the previous fund. That’s it!
You can also submit a notice of termination to your previous fund yourself. First, make sure that your membership in YTK has started before sending the notice of termination. In this case, you ensure that your membership continues without interruption and that you retain the employment condition you collected in the previous fund. If there is a break of more than one month between memberships, the accumulation of the membership and employment condition must be started from the beginning.
Also inform your payroll clerk that the collection of membership fees from your previous unemployment fund can be stopped.
Only by belonging to an unemployment fund can you receive earnings-related unemployment allowance based on your earnings when there is no work. If you are not a member of an unemployment fund, you can receive basic unemployment allowance paid by Kela, which is considerably less than earnings-related daily allowance. You can receive earnings-related unemployment allowance if you become unemployed or temporarily laid off, work part-time or work as a part-time entrepreneur. The unemployment fund also provides job alternation compensation for job alternation leave and mobility allowance if the new job is far from home.
All unemployment funds pay the same daily allowance in accordance with the same laws.
