When the employer debt collection of union fees has started, it will appear as an entry on your payslip. Depending on the salary system, your payslip should show the entry: Ay fee, Ayj fee, Union fee, Diff. fee, OAJ fee, OAJ union fee (Ay-maksu, Ayj-maksu, Jäsenmaksu, JM maksu, OAJ maksu, OAJ jäsenmaksu) or other similar entry.

The entries Tvm (= Unemployment insurance contribution) or TyEL (= Earnings-related pension contribution) shown on the payslip do not refer to the trade union membership fee. You can see information about both the employer’s debt collections and the union fees paid by you in the union fees tab of My Profile. In My Profile, the union fees collected by the employer are always displayed with a delay. Therefore, it's best to first check your payslip to see if the union fee has been collected.
When the notification of a change in employment status has been processed in the membership services, the authorisation to collect union fees is submitted to the payroll administration of the employer you have listed. The employer collection of union fees is most likely to start with the salary payment of the month following the processing.

  You can submit a notification in My Profile. It is advisable to report the change in good time.  

  No, it does not.  

The notification is pending processing in the membership services and will be processed as soon as possible.  

When the notification of a change in employment status has been processed in the membership services, the authorisation to collect union fees is submitted to the payroll administration of the employer you have listed. The employer collection of union fees is most likely to start with the salary payment of the month following the processing.

Example: The membership services processes your change in October and sends the collection authorisation to the payroll administration. The collection of the union fee is expected to start in November.

A change in the employment status may cause changes to the membership association information and thus to the union fee percentage. Therefore, reporting the change via the contact form may not be sufficient. Please submit a notification in My Profile.  

The My Profile service includes a union fee calculator that allows you to create a monthly or periodic union fee invoice.

You should only use the union fee calculator once the employment change you have reported has been processed. Your member association and union fee percentage may change due to a change in employment status and the calculator will only provide correct payment information after the notification has been processed by the membership services.
