There are many unemployed people in Finland. In Tuusula, too, there are an increasing number of people who have been out of work for a long time.
Tuusula now wants to help its residents who have been unemployed for a long time to find work.
Tuusula has decided to pay a subsidy to employers who hire employees from Tuusula. This subsidy is known as the municipal allowance.
If the employment is full-time, the employer may receive a municipal allowance of 800 euros per month. For part-time work, the employer is paid a municipal allowance of 500 euros per month.
The municipal allowance is paid for a maximum of one year.
Everyone benefits from this work
The longer a person has been unemployed, the harder it is for them, as a rule, to find work.
If the local authority allowance helps to find jobs for people who have been unemployed for a long time, it will be of great help.
Finding a job is beneficial for jobseekers.
The local authority subsidy also helps employers to recruit skilled staff at a reasonable cost.
Unemployment costs the local authority
Finding a job also helps the local authority. These days, the local authority has to pay part of the unemployment benefits received by those who have been out of work for a long time.
Unemployment benefits include, for example, labour market support and the basic daily allowance.
Tuusula wants to use the funds earmarked for unemployment benefits to fund the municipal supplement.
When a person gets a job, they receive a salary and are no longer paid unemployment benefits.
You cannot receive the local authority supplement at the same time as wage support
The local authority allowance is not the same as a wage subsidy.
Wage subsidies have also been used as a means of helping to get people who have been unemployed for a long time into work. Wage subsidies have also been paid to employers.
You cannot claim the wage subsidy at the same time as the local authority allowance.
Applying is easy
Applications for the municipal allowance can be made via the Tuusula municipal website.
A municipal subsidy may be granted to an employer who takes on an employee from Tuusula who has been unemployed for at least one year.
Unemployment among young people aged 18–25 must have lasted for half a year.
