Membership fee

The membership fee of the trade union Talentia is 1.35 per cent of gross earnings, including holiday compensation and holiday bonus, but never more than 45 euros per month. A trade union membership fee is tax deductible. You can pay the membership fee yourself or authorize your employer to deduct it automatically from your salary.

Talentia's membership fee consists of:

• a share for Talentia,
• a share for the central organisation AKAVA,
• a share for the member associations (regional and professional associations),
• a share for the Erko unemployment fund,
• the legal expenses and liability insurance Talentia has taken out for its members plus the accident and travel insurance for leisure travel.

Exceptional fees:

Those not working (unemployed, on maternity leave, in military service etc.) pay 6 euro a month.

The student membership fee is 15 euro per calendar year. The year the student joins is free. A student member is not charged a separate student membership fee if, during the year, he/she has been working, belonged to the Erko unemployment fund, and paid a full Talentia membership fee.

For a member working abroad the membership fee is 1.35 per cent when the employer is Finnish and 6 euro per month when the employer is not Finnish.

The membership fee for a self-employed member is 10 euro a month if the member does not belong to the unemployment fund.

The fee for dual membership is 120 euro per calendar year. (Dual membership means that a person is a full member of another trade union affiliated to AKAVA and also wants to belong to Talentia).

Retired members are not charged membership fees.
