Employment vouchers facilitate the employment of young people
In the Central Uusimaa employment area, companies can utilise youth employment vouchers, which support the employment of unemployed young people aged 18–29. The vouchers reduce the costs of employment for a fixed period.
The employment voucher improves the opportunities for young people in Tuusula to start their careers and gain work experience. At the same time, the voucher supports the recruitment opportunities of local companies.
With the voucher, employers can receive compensation for half of the young person’s salary costs, up to a maximum of €1,500 per month and €9,000 per six months. Support can be granted for employment relationships lasting at least six months, including fixed-term, part-time and apprenticeship contracts.
The employment voucher can be used if the young person to be hired has been unemployed for at least six months (or at least three months for those without a post-secondary qualification).
The employer applies for the subsidy before the start of the employment relationship using the form available on the Keski-Uusimaa TE Services website. The subsidy is paid retrospectively in two-monthly instalments.
If the employment relationship is to continue for more than six months and support is still needed, the municipality of Tuusula may grant continued support of the same amount for the same employment relationship. Continued employment support may be granted for a maximum of one year in total for the employment relationship.
