Membership fee: EUR 33/month If you are in paid employment or an employed freelancer, you pay a fixed membership fee regardless of the amount of your salary or holiday bonuses, overtime payments and benefits in kind received during the year. The fee is also paid from the so-called support package in the event of termination of employment. The membership fee for those receiving earnings-related unemployment allowance from the unemployment fund is EUR 33 per month If you do not have any earned income but receive
earnings-related unemployment allowance from the unemployment fund. The amount
of the membership fee is the same regardless of the amount of the unemployment
allowance. Minimum membership fee: EUR 16.50/month You pay the minimum membership fee if you are not in paid employment or do not receive an allowance from the Erko Fund/other unemployment fund. The minimum membership fee applies in the following situations, for example:
Studentmembership including the unemployment fund: EUR 85/year This membership includes the unemployment fund. If you are a full-time degree student, you pay the student membership fee even if you are in paid employment alongside your studies. However, you must fulfil the work requirement in order to be entitled to the unemployment fund. Studentmembership without the unemployment fund: EUR 12/year If you are a full-time degree student, you pay the student membership fee even if you are in paid employment alongside your studies. This membership does not include the unemployment fund. Pensioner's membership fee: EUR 96/year Membership fee for the individual professional or
entrepreneur: EUR 16.50/month A member in military or civilian service is exempt from
membership fees. An honorary member of the union is exempt from membership fees. |

Paying membership fees
Your membership fee will be automatically set up on the new invoice based on the information in the member register. The invoice will be sent to your email at the beginning of the year. Please ensure that your membership information is up-to-date. Please update your information on the members’ online platform as soon as possible.
The monthly amount thus remains the same and the amount of the payment does not need to be calculated separately based on a salary receipt. As before, you can pay the membership fee in the Akava Special Branches online platform or in your own online bank based on the payment details you have received. You can also continue to authorise the employer to collect the membership fee directly from your salary.
If your employer has previously been collecting the membership fee from your salary, you do not need to do anything yourself. However, it is beneficial to verify from the first pay slip of the year that the membership fee has been paid correctly.
Please note that the membership in your unemployment fund is also included in your membership fee if you have indicated in your membership information that you have joined the fund. By becoming a member of the fund, you can receive an earnings-related unemployment benefit. If you receive allowance from the fund, you pay the membership fee yourself in the future.
