Toimi näin
Once you have participated in a job interview or service, you have one month to apply for compensation.
Apply for compensation primarily with an electronic form in the Job Market Finland e-service. Log in to the service with a personal bank ID, mobile certificate or certificate card. Fill in the application in the e-service and add the necessary attachments. The internal instructions of the e-service help you to fill in the application. In the e-service, you can submit an application, respond to requests for supplementary information concerning the application, supplement your application and receive decisions on your matter.
If you cannot use the e-service, apply for compensation using a printable form. Send the form to the Päijät-Häme Employment Services.
The compensation granted will be paid automatically to the bank account indicated in the application. If you have applied for compensation in the e-service, you can, if necessary, supplement the information required for the payment of compensation in the e-Service.
You don’t need to attach receipts of the travel expenses to the application, as the amount of the reimbursement is 0.21 euros per kilometre. The amount of own contribution is 12 euros and the maximum reimbursement is 200 euros per trip.
Accommodation is reimbursed on the basis of the realised expenses but not more than 80 euros per day. Attach a receipt and a copy of the realised expenses.
The Päijät-Häme Employment Services can contact the employer and check the information related to the job interview. If you do not wish the Päijät-Häme Employment Services to contact the employer, attach a certificate of your participation in the job interview in your reimbursement application.
