Retirement

When you retire, you will no longer need the services of the unemployment fund. However, retirement does not automatically end your membership with us. So remember to send us your written notice of resignation electronically.

We often receive thank-yous for the years you’ve spent with us through resignation letters. We welcome that and appreciate it very much!

Your pension provider will need your payment details from us to calculate your pension. We will electronically submit the payment information to the Finnish Centre for Pensions at its request. The Centre for Pensions will forward the information to your pension insurer.

Retirement is one of the few situations where membership can be terminated retroactively.

We thank you for your membership and wish you a happy and healthy retirement!

Membership age limit

According to our rules, you can join us if you are under 68 years old. Membership ends at the end of the calendar month in which you turn 68 at the latest.

We will take this age limit into account when invoicing membership fees. Your last membership fee invoice will not be for the whole year, but will be calculated at the end of the calendar month in which you turn 68. At the same time, we will also terminate your membership.

Approaching retirement age

As you approach retirement age, we cannot pay you earnings-related daily allowance in all situations.

If you were born before 1965, we can pay you earnings-related daily allowance for the period of unemployment or part-time work until the end of the calendar month in which you turn 65. If you were born in 1965 or later, we can grant you earnings-related daily allowance for the period of unemployment or part-time work until the end of the calendar month during which you reach the minimum retirement age under the Employees’ Pensions Act.

If you are unable to work due to layoff, a reason comparable to layoff, weather conditions, or industrial action that does not affect your terms of employment or -conditions, we can pay earnings-related daily allowance until the end of the calendar month in which you turn 68.

As you approach retirement age, you may be entitled to additional days of earnings-related daily allowance. We can pay you additional days of earnings-related daily allowance after the maximum payment period has ended, up to the end of the calendar month in which you turn 65.
